• Turns out Chrissy wasn’t the only known bully that Meg invited onto the show. David Chang has serious anger issues and has bullied staff

• Megs new show hasn’t appeared in the Top ten on NF in the UK or US, which she had done for the first series. NF aren’t promoting it other that in the ‘new this week’ section. You also have to scroll along to find it.

• No stock sold out yet

From Ai:

Yes, influencers in the US are legally required to clearly disclose free gifts they post about because the Federal Trade Commission considers any "material connection" between the influencer and the brand, including receiving a free item, as a form of payment that must be disclosed to avoid misleading followers. This is to ensure transparency and honesty in endorsements, as a material connection exists when there's any personal, financial, or employment relationship with a brand.

Quite touching the desperate need to defend bless.

Influencers have to say that it’s a paid promo in their post or reel, usually with a #. Tis the code.

I feel pity for them that their gut impulse is always to react and defend (the defenceless) without engaging their brain or moral compass.

Ye talk shite, hen.

I'm laughing like a drain at the idea of the King paying for their trip to Disneyland. It's the absolute antithesis of everything he represents and belives, IMO.

While I doubt they will care about Jimmy Kimmel being silenced, he has made plenty of public jibes about them, and they don’t like free speech, it is amusing to see them front and center promoting Disney when there are very loud voices everywhere calling for a boycott of Disney.

Timing is everything 😝

If someone else paid for your holiday do you tell people of yes we went to Disney for my kids bday and my parents paid for it

Yes I would actually, followed by 'We're very lucky and grateful'

I read a book last year about the New Forest Witches who met during WWII to protect the UK...

You're doing the Lord's work, @Spectre8 😂, or at least Meghan's! I genuinely admire your dedication to defending the indefensible 😂

Didn’t she make a song and dance about Joe Rohan saying something when she had her deal with Spotify (he was also with Spotify)

How times have changed for this social activist!

Yip, they expressed their concerns!

https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-60191264.amp

Will they express their concerns to Disney too….ummmmm….no chance in hell

Why do people want to boycott Disney? What have I missed?!

Because Disney are trying to push through a merger and don’t want to upset the powers that be….so cancelled Jimmy Kimmel for some pretty mild comments that the MAGA people didn’t like and who called for his head.

Thanks for the explanation. The Jimmy Kimmel thing is scary.

One of Meghans close friends, who appeared on Meghans female founder podcast- ADMITS to using racist and homophobic language according to an investigation by the DM. This

I wonder if Meg will drop Whitney like she did Jessica, when Jessica’s interactions with a black wellness and beauty influencer were brought to the publics attention. Whitney’s behaviour in this matter is much much worse- using the N- word. But Whitney is rich ….so will Megs do anything?

‘For according to ten of Wolfe's former colleagues and friends who have given exclusive on-the-record interviews to the Daily Mail, recollections of Wolfe's time working at Tinder are distinctly at odds with the 'light and kindness' Lily James found so entrancing.
Several allege, for example, that Wolfe hit her Tinder boss – and then boyfriend – Justin Mateen, leaving a nasty bruise and even brandished a knife at him. (The Daily Mail has not seen proof that Wolfe caused the bruise and Wolfe's representatives denied any violence by her.)
They also claim Wolfe, who joined the start-up dating app aged 22 and later assumed the title of Vice-President of Marketing, has exaggerated her role in creating Tinder.
Damningly, they say she used racial and homophobic slurs and was less than collegiate to female colleagues.
Indeed, the Daily Mail has seen a text message[s] in which she called one colleague an 'anorexic b*ch' – and others, in which she uses the N-word, 'fgots' and 'hmo'.
'It's ironic to me that this person has become a feminist icon, and it's concerning it's taken 11 years for the media to uncover a deeper, darker truth to her narrative,' ex-Tinder communications chief Rosette Pambakian said.
Lawyers acting for Wolfe in Los Angeles and London have sent strongly worded legal letters to some of the interviewees the Daily Mail spoke to.
In a stunning admission, however, her representatives told us Wolfe had occasionally used vile slurs, including the N-word.‘

Ah, another bully, and a racist one too, in the Meghan Markle inner circle.

‘Lovely’, as they say. 😲😲

So i can afford Disney too but if someone offered me a free trip I'd take it. And use the money I would of spent on a other holiday.....

Taking freebies isn't embarrassing or a bad thing.

Im not defending her. I just don't see why its embarrassing it cringe if people take freebies. So what. Thats what im defending. That it really isnt that awful and to criticise people over it is stupid.

Taking freebies is fine if you are up front about it and don't disguise a business deal as a birthday treat for your child.

When you post photos of yourself enjoying a freebie without conforming to the rules about admitting it’s basically a paid advert, it is a bit awkward. It looks like maybe they’re a bit embarrassed to have transitioned from senior working members of the RF to paid influencers for Disney Resorts. Also terrible timing to be promoting Disney right now. While most of Hollywood, Obama etc are speaking out and calling for a boycott, these two have managed to align themselves with Trump 😬

The fact they took a freebie isn't a problem. The problem is that you are supposed to mark posts where you are being paid to advertise, or getting something for free, as an advert, on Instagram. Meghan didn't do that. If she wants to be an influencer she needs to make it clear when she is advertising.

They are going to be appearing in a tribute to Disney .
