Not listened to the first in Meghan's podcast series, a conversation with the founder of Bumble, Whitney Wolfe Heard, but the Mail has collated all the press reviews so far, with links. The Guardian, Telegraph and i-Paper are unanimous: the podcast is cloyingly dreadful.

Woooow, we are even making fun of a women who had previous miscarriages now? Enough is enough. Wow these threads are really reaching a new low. Shocking! These conversations actually need to be screenshot and shown as evidence that these threads should absolutely not be allowed to stand. With all the women that see Mumsnet as a safe space to talk about the pain that comes with having a miscarriage, this is what these threads are sinking into? Absolutely disgusting and shocking.

No one is making fun of a woman who has had miscarriages ? I have had 2 . DD1 had one . It’s sad , horrible etc .
Some posters ( myself included ) are just curious about how Meghan always manages to shoehorn her alleged experiences into every conversation . Why not ask open questions and allow your guest to speak ?

Ouch:

*"She’s a brand: a curated carousel of grievances, empowerment slogans, wellness trends, and soft-focus Instagram aesthetics. She is what happens when a person becomes trapped inside their own marketing campaign. Somewhere along the way, she lost her soul.

The deeper issue, and why the public’s patience keeps thinning, is the sheer transparency of it all. The reinventions aren’t organic, and they aren’t believable. They are crafted, strategized, and launched with press releases and carefully coordinated leaks.

Every move screams calculation, not conviction. There’s also the inconvenient fact that, by all credible accounts, Meghan’s carefully curated public image of the smiling humanitarian, the tireless advocate, masks a very different reality behind closed doors."*

Absolutely this.

Did you screenshot the threads about William beating Catherine up which is why she disappeared?

If you want to screenshot and keep stuff as evidence, please do so. Or report to MNHQ. For what it’s worth, I wouldn’t personally discuss what did or did not happen with Meghan’s miscarriage. I have no idea what happened. But give over with all the righteousness

Interesting Spectator article. I believe the author is very insightful

I will be reporting these threads and the most outrageous comments. At some point, Mumsnet used tu pull them down once they reached a certain level of toxicity. They need to start doing it again. Especially on a platform like these. Making fun of another woman's miscarriage, commenting on that in this way especially on a parent's forum where mums have shared their losses is actually disgusting and despicable and no parents ' platform should allow these vile threads to stand.

LipglossAlly · 15/04/2025 13:55

Being consumed with hatred towards a perfect stranger to a point where you would make fun her having a miscarriage...this actually makes me sick to my stomach and people who do these things are not well. I don't care what you tell yourself to try to justify it. Mumsnet needs to stop platforming these kind of people. It goes against anything this website market itself as.

MM puts all this information out there and so it will be commented on. I don't hate her but I do find their situation very interesting. Many fine podcasts have been made without the host shoe horning in their own medical experiences - she must know that by talking about herself it will take the attention away from her guest?

I don't care what other podcasters do. Many women come on this public platform and share their miscarriages, we have public figures sharing their losses as well, that does not give anyone the right to deride someone else' s terrible loss. The fact that this horrific behaviour is being excused is also deplorable.

Are you ok, @LipglossAlly? Just wondering if a little break to take a breath might help. You seem a bit....overwrought.

LipglossAlly · 15/04/2025 14:14

Of course I am overwrought, any person with decency should be. Especially when it comes to a supposed safe space for those who suffered one or multiple miscarriages.

PigglyWigglyOhYeah · 15/04/2025 14:21

You seem to be seeing something that I have missed. People are allowed to criticise your best beloved. And, very regrettably, she is not the only person to experience that sort of loss. It does not give her a free pass.

From that article about the miscarriage:

The 43-year-old likened miscarriage to letting go of a business and stepping down from a company.
She said: 'I've spoken about the miscarriage that we experienced, and I think in some parallel way, you have to learn to detach from the thing that you have so much promise and hope for, and to be able to be ok at a certain point to let something go, something that you planned to love for a long time.'

Seriously? I felt many emotions when I had miscarriages, it never once occurred to me that it was like letting go of a business. And I rather doubt that Meghan thought that either, given her minimal experience of actually running businesses at that point in her life.

I think any woman that has had a miscarriage will have their own feelings about it. Just because you didn’t feel a certain way doesn’t mean others haven’t. It’s such a personal thing.

You should do what yourconscience tells you to do. Other posters will do the same.

So...anyway. That Spectator article was very insightful.

Someone in the DM comments suggested plague or typhoid.

The DM comments. I can imagine the type of people that comment.

Dolaly · 15/04/2025 14:35

The Spectaor has some pretty brutal but accurate commentary..

The Spotify podcast Archetypes was a complete bust, canceled after one awkward, underwhelming season. Before that came the children’s book, The Bench. Due to the poor sales, the book should have been titled The Shelf, because that’s where it largely remained. Then there was Harry & Meghan, the heavily scripted Netflix documentary, which played less like a candid account of royal life and more like a brainless branding exercise in victimhood. Although each venture sputtered out, Meghan simply pivoted.

When podcasting fizzled out, she tried charity work. When that failed to generate interest, she pivoted again. This time into gardening, baking, and overpriced condiments.

When she’s not in the kitchen, building her honey and jam empire, she’s busy recording episodes for her latest podcast (yes, another one).

Hopefully Mumsnet will do the right thing and will show what they actually stand for, other posters also need to know whether this is still a safe space to discuss all things pregnancy related including miscarriages. If this thread is left to stand that means that Mumsnet is fine with women being derided for experiencing a pregnancy loss. I am not sure how this would work in favour of the website.
