Hollywood Reporter - Meghan and Harry

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.”

And her ordering Kate and Williams staff around and Kate had to have a word with her

Maybe WME didn’t block it because it’s their employees she’s been bullying
She has probably been berating and blaming them for lack of opportunities

This could be it.

Maybe she was about to sack WME for zero delivery after 18 months.

Was there not an allegation that she treated someone at Sunshine Sachs appallingly?

I suspect that this investigation has been going on for some considerable time. It would take a lot of time to build trust with each individual and to go for 12 people when they could have run it with 2 or 3 says something else - they wanted this water tight and extensive.

The clincher was probably when they got the senior person still working with them to talk because there can be no push back smears suggesting inept and disgruntled ex employees - if someone senior and still working there is speaking out.

Maybe there will be a mass resignation on Monday ... maybe it was PH and he has staged a coup and is fucking off to the mountains with all the staff on Monday...!

I bet the RF whats app is blowing up with memes and messages tonight...

Well with all this kicking off I wonder if Harry will leave her and still go on the lads jolly?

or if he will leave her to deal with the Crisis PR team on her own

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I think if Meghan was a man, accused of bullying and the rest, there would be a 'free Britney' style online campaign to save Princess Henrietta (aka Hatty) from a potentally abusive relationship. Especially due to the isolation in a foreign country away from old friends and family, continuously looking miserable and having to fund with own family money a very expensive lifestyle, whilst cashing in on trashing said family.

This does feel like a turning point - I guess Meghan might still get away relatively unscathed if nothing else comes out, and if she can argue that it's all just misogyny and/or coming from staff who are simply disgruntled because they are not talented enough to keep up with someone as brilliant as her

I agree about the turning point @Hughs, but honestly don't think that argument will cut it now she's become so thoroughly discredited

It seems to me that, once the dominoes start falling, a point comes where they can't be stopped and the situation just has to play out until its natural end.
That doesn't mean she won't try of course - probably with ever sillier stunts and pronouncements - but what's the use when most are simply laughing?

Now it would be good if a few good journalists put it all together and call Harry out for the liar and the enabler he is and Meghan as the bully and liar that she is.

Clearly, her behaviour has been going on for years, clearly the bullying claims in the UK were true, clearly they both lied about it being a 'smear campaign', clearly Harry threw his family and those that worked for them under the bus in order to deflect from his wife's disgusting behaviour, and clearly the late Queen, William and Catherine were all right to call out Meghan's unacceptable treatment of palace staff. It was all reported at the time and many of us believed it back then, but because the results of the palace investigation were hushed up (no doubt to avoid poking the vindictive H&M bear), the Sussex Squad have been able to scream 'Racists!' and 'Smear Campaign' for the past several years without there being proof to counter with.

How galling for the late Queen, Prince Philip, Charles, Camilla, William and Catherine to have their names and reputations dragged through the mud by this pair of liars when they knew the truth all along, but couldn't come out and say it publicly.

A comment on Twitter / X that her WME team were replaced after 6 months because she was too difficult to work with.

I wonder is that the reason WME were unable to intervene in some way? if their own employees had suffered a similar fate, it would be a bad look for them to be seen to come out in support of someone who not only bullied her own staff but bullied their staff too.

As a pp has commented top PR Agencies are adept at dealing with difficult/demanding people on their books.

This won't be their first rodeo in that respect.

However the reason they put up with endure it, is due to the fiscal return they get for doing so and (in industry circles) the knowledge they are doing a great job in making a difficult character look good to the masses through carefully considered strategies, communications and deals.

The problem here is (ironically much like Trump allegedly with his advisors) they have a client that is said not to listen to their advice. Thinks they know better.

When such a client goes off tangent it reflects really badly on them as it represents a failure to develop a strategy that the client has confidence in. That then results in a number of car crash stories that again further cement the Agency's inability to manage a positive media profile.

There's only so much in fees that are worth that kind of repetitional hit.

Sometimes it's just best to fold and let the client walk because you choose to stop trying to protect them - especially when the weight of evidence is high and the leverage you have is minimal because the individual has self sabotaged years of PR efforts.

I haven't disappeared and I think it's perfectly possible that Meghan came across as abrasive and brash and there was briefing against her.

Hopefully! In all honesty I can't fathom why MM doesn't actually listen to the PR companies, she literally had nothing to offer the world, nothing- so they're having to really create something to 'sell' to the planet. I think maybe she sees herself as princess of America, no one else does, but she keeps banging the 'me me me' drum and it's frankly pathetic

I can’t help wondering if this is just the tip of the iceberg for the Sussexes and that there’s some much bigger story about to surface.
Now HR has the evidence will those experiencing working for Meghan start telling their stories?
Absolutely nothing surprises me where this pair are concerned; from the very start I felt she was trouble and that it wouldn’t end well.
Ruthless and mercenary and out for what she/they can get sums them up.

Meghan was welcomed into the RF. Special considerations were extended to her not previously extended by any other person marrying into the family, including Catherine. Why then would the family brief against her?

I'm curious as to why she seems to have had a complete personality change once she met Harry. Previous to that she seems to have been a pleasant enough woman. She obviously liked being centre stage but no accounts of her being unpleasant and a manipulator. Power (as she sees it) has obviously gone to her head. My view is she has a massive chip on her shoulder and sees everyone around as people to be manipulated/bullied/ or subject to her false charm . There are clues in the way she treated her first husband but no one knows the full story there.

The reitmann commercial was a couple of years before she met Harry, and the director described her as 'The meanest person I have ever met'. She's always been like this, but not famous enough for people to be interested.

That’s interesting. I didn’t know that.

Ooh now there's a thought, he wants out but can't pluck up the courage to just leave, so has leaked this to justify going.
I have been in an abusive relationship and it certainly skews your thinking, IF their relationship is toxic I can well imagine Harry's thoughts are all over the place especially given his own MH issues.

I suspect she hides it very well u til she's in a place where it's too late for anyone to get rid of her such as contracts signed, marriage etc. If she was ok in suits I suspect it was only because she had a more minor part and wanted more, or could easily be elbowed out

It’s more than abrasive and brash though isn’t it. She’s not being accused of being an unpleasant, she’s being accused of bellittling and bullying with signficant anger directed at people.

look I understand if you’re some sort of major fan, but surely for the sake of decency you’d not try to downplay something as serious as this to simply being abrasive and brash?

so so many people Are now saying,through any means they can due to nda’s that Megan bullies, bellitles, to the point employees cry and directs her explosive anger at them. That’s not acceptable.

The holly wood reporter is saying 12 employees, past and present, then the palace staff, the commercial staff, we see all her previous friends who were dropped, and how she did it, the beckhams where Victoria was accused of leaking, there is now dozens and dozens of people. And that’s before we get to the royals themselves and what is likely lies. Also take into account “current “ employers, Netflix and Spotify, Netflix staff said they were impossible to work with, Spotify clearly no love lost. And fake podcasts. 18 of their own staff resigned now. Archewell rumoured to have financial discrepancies.

and of course we have Harry, enabling it. Lying to cover up for her bullying, accusing other people to protect her.

we all know we are likely to see another concerted pr effort to try and fix this, but it’s now reached such a point, with so so many people, I don’t think it’s recoverable from.

its so so many people now. And it’s as far away from simply “abrasive and brash” as it gets. It’s bullying, anger, aggression, belittling and dishonesty

The so called Summer of Love isn't going very well is it.

Anyone else feeling a teeny bit sorry for Harry on his birthday
What a shit show
She must have been absolutely vile
( not that I like the guy )

Not really. He has chosen to put a whole slew of negative stuff into the media for the last few years, often on other people's birthdays. If he wanted a lovely peaceful 40th then emailing the BBC with his plans isn't the best way to achieve that. He wants a public life, this is what happens when you invite the public in, they don't all like what you do and say so.

The DM journalist has got part of the way there - linking these new allegations of bullying to the old ones when they were living in Windsor - but no-one so far has realised that this is dynamite. That it proves that the pair of them are utter, bare-faced liars and the extent of Harry's betrayal of his family in his role as her enabler.
