Hollywood Reporter - Meghan and Harry

[ThatAvidViewer]

Why Hollywood Keeps Quitting on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle (hollywoodreporter.com)

Why’d they all leave? What explains the churn? “Everyone’s terrified of Meghan,” claims a source close to the couple. “She belittles people, she doesn’t take advice. They’re both poor decision-makers, they change their minds frequently. Harry is a very, very charming person — no airs at all — but he’s very much an enabler. And she’s just terrible.”

Harry is a charming person? He hides it well.

:)

Harry himself said that people were crying at their desks in UK in his book. And now again negative stories about how she is treating US people who work for them. Meghan can't say again it was a culture clash.

They fell out with everyone her family, his friends, his family, people working from them in UK and now US

Whats the reputation, reach and impact of this publication?

This recent thread about and old Tom Bower book seems consistent.

This interview with MM agent of many years published in 2018 I always thought said an awful lot reading between the lines.

Whats the reputation, reach and impact of this publication?

The Hollywood reporter is very reputable and would be read by everyone in hollywood. They can't blame this one on the nasty British press or royal family.

Here is a follow up piece from her agent 4 years later in 2020 just after the announcement that they were stepping back - its quite prophetic 4 years on:

Yes, they have fallen out with everyone, both of their families, most of their friends, business partners, staff. But it's never their fault 🙄

Kettler?

"Duchess Difficult" 😂

That's a very telling article about their relationship.

I hope other outlets will pick up on the Hollywood reporter piece

Arguably this is the worst that’s ever been written about her behaviour.

The tabloids when talking about her bullying didn’t go as far as this, this is why she was able obscure things by making out this was just part of her being a strong and confident boss. She even made an Archetype podcast about it.

But this is describing behaviour that she can’t spin- can’t spin that it’s just her being a boss, can’t spin it’s the British media out to get her.

Havent seen anything in the DM or NYPost yet, hopefully they will be soon

Isn’t this what Rebel Wilson implied? Harry was really nice but Meghan was stand offish
and not naturally warm?

Yes, I seen that. That Harry was a gentleman and Meghan was stand offish

Wasn’t she rude to rebels mum as well?

It's another confirmation she is not the person she tries to pretend she is.

Rumours the Queen had to call her to task about her treatment of staff, William confronting Harry about how she treated their staff, Jason Knuff raising it in writing, Harry trying to justify the issues with their staff as being caused by the pressures of the UK media and the RF. Now, it's being determined again, that she is the same nasty person, no matter what side of the Atlantic she is on.

We have seen public glimpses, when she drops her guard and can't help herself, of how awful she really is, not least in how she treats and demeans her wuss of a husband.

Cue a People or Harpers Bazaar article from 'friends' about how kind and warm, etc. etc. she is.

So Bryony Gordon, calls Harry and Megan a friend and goes on to describe them in an article in todays DM

Again, she describes him as a nice guy, polite etc. Even though she describes a meghan as a friend too, no where in the article does she say anything nice about her (or anything negative) but nothing at all. When the piece is supposed to be about what’s written about in them in the press, isn’t reflected in how she knows them….and then she doesn’t write anything about meghan to counteract her negative press!!

I think that’s telling.

She clearly likes Harry though

We do have Bryony to thank for revealing the monogrammed doormat!

So the HR article just confirms the many stories about her rude and bullying behaviour….why on earth does Harry not feel embarrassed by this?…and go one further and constantly try and be a knight in shining armour for her? Like she’s a victim.

He can see she isn’t a victim, but he enables her anyway.

How long can that go in for? Have the kids seen her behave in that way towards others? I think that would be the only way for Harry to wake up and walk away - if his kids were brought up thinking that’s normal to treat people this way

Although, Ive always thought that he will end up being caught shagging some posh polo blonde and take the cowards way out

LOL, I was just thinking that, I had never heard of her before that photo LOL. despite her claiming her podcast with Harry went viral.

Imagine throwing cups of tea at your staff because you don't get your own way... Us normal folk would be done for assault

My take on this:

1. Hollywood Reporter is impeccably well sourced and read by everyone, but EVERYONE, in the entertainment industry. This is really bad for Meghan in terms of contacts and networks in LA.
2. I suspect this was partially leaked by their new head of comms who resigned after 3 months. The timing and the content fits...he quit and wants everyone in his network to know why. Smart dude.
3. Piece looks like it has more than one source so I think HR has spoken to 3 maybe 4 people who've worked with the Sussexes
4. Interesting that the Sussexes only declined to comment. That suggests they saw the allegations in full before publication and concluded there was no defamation case they could make
5. I suspect that the footage of Meghan at that posh bookstore was deliberately released this week to try to take attention away from this HR article because they would've known it was coming
6. This is vindication for the UK tabloids. Meghan and Harry had some success a few years ago in claiming that the UK press stories about Meghan's difficult behaviour were smear campaigns driven purely by racism and sexism. Harder for that excuse to stand when very similar stories are now being reported by an entirely separate publication in the US

Handbags at dawn at Montecito? I think so!

A lot of the things which sounded exaggerated (throwing cups of tea), seem to ring more and more true as we watch her in action and read about her in reputable media..

A few years down the road I have no doubt we will be watching a Netflix documentary about the real story behind Meghan Markle and the Prince, and it won't be a PR puff piece either.

@GiveMeSpanakopita exactly

and especially this comment

This is vindication for the UK tabloids.

If this is true how can Harry not see how wrong the behaviour is. I don’t think the RF treat staff badly or we would’ve known about it long before now. I don’t get it! Love is blind or he’s invested so much in their relationship he can’t be seen to back out.

Agree completely

Only to add at point 4.

That the HR said they contacted their ‘current’ spokesperson.

Which is an absolute burn!
