Megan Markle might find herself less than thrilled as Carrie Washington spills the beans about her incredible friendship with Reese Witherspoon.
Speaking at the Hollywood Reporter's annual Women in Entertainment gala, Washington reminisced about their first encounter. The actress, who was pictured with Megan at Beyonce's concert, revealed how she reached out to Witherspoon for advice when starting her production company.
Washington expressed, "I remember when I first started my production company, I realized, oh, Reese Witherspoon has had three production companies. I bet she has some wisdom to share about what's worked and what hasn't."
In an interview with People magazine, Washington highlighted the importance of mentors and shared the story of her initial call to Witherspoon, despite not knowing her personally. The conversation marked the beginning of a fruitful friendship.
Washington emphasized the significance of both formal and casual mentorships, stressing the value of seeking wisdom and experience from those who have walked a similar path. She added, "Being willing to pass that information on so that people who are coming behind you through the door is also so rewarding and important."
While Washington established her Simpson Street production company in 2016, four years before working with Witherspoon in "Little Fires Everywhere," the dynamics between Megan Markle and Reese Witherspoon reveal a contrasting narrative. Reports suggest that Megan has developed an obsession with emulating A-list star Reese Witherspoon's career trajectory, even attempting to involve her in personal events like her wedding. However, Witherspoon declined the invitation, citing her lack of acquaintance with the couple.
The contrast deepens as Megan Markle expresses a desire to have Reese Witherspoon appear on her podcast, Archetypes. Despite hosting notable figures like Serena Williams and Mariah Carey, securing Witherspoon has proven elusive. The insider claims that Witherspoon turned down the opportunity due to her longstanding support for Princess Diana.
The Hollywood actress and the Princess of Wales first met at Prince William's fundraiser for his Tusk Trust Wildlife charity in Los Angeles in 2011. The refusal to collaborate reportedly stems from Witherspoon's allegiance to the memory of the beloved princess. As Megan strives to shape her podcast, the complexities of her relationships with Hollywood counterparts continue to unfold.
