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.”

What do you mean? Pointing out the mistakes that someone has made?

OMG just when I thought she couldn't stoop any lower.

When was this? I bloody hope Archie and Lili turn out perfect

Yes it was awful, at least Harry didn’t join in the mocking and look steadfastly ahead ignoring Meghan.

I noticed the Hollywood Reporter article remained very factual and all opinions were quotations from 'sources'. It also ended positively, describing what Meghan is currently up to 'finding joy', so it can't be accused of being one sided. Although it does give the impression she is two faced without actually saying it.

I'm assuming their lawyers went through the article with a fine tooth comb.

The only wording that I can see that is incorrect and would be open to a defamation claim, is referencing her as a 'former princess' which as a PP above has explained isn't true. The Royal family haven't removed any titles and she is Princess Henry of Wales.
She would look ridiculous bringing a case against them for being called a former princess, so I wonder if this was them goading her.

Edited to correct- It was the Canadian national anthem not the USA.

It's not an airport. No need to announce your departure.

MN are pleased to announce that this is the last call for Flight AF to Lagos. Please make your way to Gate 77.

Do you berate the Sussex Squad (who are publically acknowledged and thanked by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex) for their horrendous bullying of William and particularly Kate? As you're so against bullying.

Going back to the Sussex Squad, there was a post on this thread about them changing their name. I wondered how much of this is a regrouping tactic giving them an excuse to blame the Catherine bullying on a small subsection.

We know H&M have links to the squad so it may even make sense that they are behind this.

She seems to not even understand the basic tenets of behaviour. You respect national anthems. You would think with her Invictus involvement she would bloody get this.

She seems to not even understand the basic tenets of behaviour. You respect national anthems.

During her time as a working royal, she was taking part in a balcony appearance at BP. Can't remember the occasion. Harry had to tell her to stop talking as the anthem was being played. At the time, I thought perhaps she had been poorly briefed, and didn't know the anthem was to be played, but also she should a) have recognised it and b) realised that everyone else had shut up and was eyes front.

Folks keep posting these clips of her being very Ill mannered, it’s quite shocking how she behaves. She’s so Utterly rude.

🤣 Hello! We've been expecting you. Lovely to have you with us, unless you've already had to go. So many forums and people out there to berate find joy with.

Just a thought: isn't this all similar to the Duke and Duchess of Windsor? Inadequate Royal falls for stronger woman and turns his back on family and country?
No children involved with the D&D of W, so a much more complicated and damaging scenario when the inevitable happens this time though I doubt he even knows he's being bullied.

I think the parallels with Edward and Wallis are striking. It really is history repeating itself.

Going back to the original point of this thread, I reckon the information in the HR article has probably been widely known in the entertainment industry for a while. Since 2020, everything they've been involved with has sputtered out to nothing. Meghan can't find anyone to be the CEO of ARO after months of searching. Why is that? Could it be that no-one wants the job because everyone knows that Meghan is 'a dictator in heels, barking orders and making grown men cry'?

Just think back for a moment: the cancellation of 'Pearl', the cancellation of Spotify and the brutal character assassination shortly afterwards by Bill Simmons, the parodying of them in 'South Park' and 'Family Guy', the article in 'The Cut', the way their 'near-catastrophic car chase' was laughed at, the way they've been criticised for accepting bullshit awards, the way they never get invited to any of the big parties or industry events, the HR calling them one of the biggest losers of 2023, and now this new article detailing Meghan's bullying of staff.

Wonder what will happen to their 'Online Bullying' undertakings now ?

Meghans' credibility is eradicated now that the Hollywood Reporter felt they were able to put it in writing, there is no way they can sit on a panel or go on an overseas visit and spout about the worries of online bullying and their efforts to put an end to it,

I am sure there will to be a few pay to play outings, awards here and there, but now one will take either of the seriously anymore.

Yes, if she had any influence or was seen as popular, it wouldn’t be worth the HR to print a bullying behaviour article, because it would just make them look bad.

So it must be a well known secret what she’s like. The same with Ellen. Everybody knew.

The Vintage Read has interesting things to say about the HR article. It's also well worth watching her previous videos about Penske Media - HR forms part of their stable of publications - and the relationship Meghan (and Harry) has with them, in particular the publication She Knows. If anything/anyone has been their enabler in America, it has been Penske Media.

Do also go back and watch her videos on Meghan's friend, Lainy Gossip (which she talks about at 17 mins) and how the online animosity towards Catherine preceded the official announcement of H&M's relationship. I'm hoping she writes a book about it.

Also, having been at a bookstore 3 times last week, a tennis tournament on Saturday etc. how does a woman, who has a production company with a 100mill contract, start up lifestyle brand (which has multiple issues to sort out), investing in women led companies, humanitarian for hire with Archewell…..and two young children …..where on earth is she finding the time?

There seriously can’t be anything going on at their production company- which there’s been next to no PR for months. Yes the POLO show but they aren’t talking about future works in development. If you look at the Obamas production company which has only been around 2 years longer than theirs, they have churned out a tonne of stuff and still developing.

She has a lot of time in her hands for someone who has given themselves many titles

It has been gossiped about for a long time.

She has already been accused of bullying and involved in one workplace bullying investigation and it regularly comes up that they are a nightmare to work for. . Despite ironclad NDA's the word is out there, even if the full details aren't.

Let's face it, her bullying was there in plain sight, we saw it in action on TV screens. Faux charm and victimhood, but still she is unable to hide her passive-aggressive nature. She has been bullying her father in law and sister in law publicly, each little comment on it's own didnt't appear to be so significant ....., lip gloss, Waity Katie, Stepford wife, cold, and then the bombshell false racist slur, when you view it all together and in context, you can see her for what she is, a chronic bully.

They will though I reckon, they've got no shame at all! I mean they still did after all the initial accusations of bullying so I don't think this will be any different.

To what extent they'll be taken seriously is a different matter.

There was talk of another tour before the end of the year I think, wonder if that will still go ahead. I think quite likely, as they can control the narrative and they'll hope their "positive" coverage will drown out any noise about the bullying.

Also, because they come as a brand, the staff were there for both Harry and Meghan and even if Harry was nice, he enabled Meghan and didn’t protect his staff. Therefore, how can he front up any mental health charities now when he is so overwhelming linked to a bully and has been shown to enable this behaviour?

Bullying and belittling people cancels people in Hollywood (just ask Ellen and James Corden). Harry and Meghan are going to have to do something spectacular to come back from this and actually make a genuine career for themselves.

Is this why the Parent's Forum was rushed out? To negate the accusations of bullying? The whole thing is a mess.

One of the things that I think is really horrible in all this is that H&M will make statements about staff leaving which hint at incompetence, see Josh Kettler. Given the staff are muzzled by NDAs this seems particularly poor behaviour.

Well the shit hit the fan on Saturday with the HR article and she was still out, smiling away at the tennis tournament.

Their ability to humiliate themselves knows no bounds. No humility, no self awareness. No sense of style either……high heels at tennis? Ok 👍
