Simu Liu's disregard for Megan Markle's earnest request for an invitation to the People's Choice Awards is the latest blow for the former Royal, who has been facing numerous challenges in her bid to reestablish herself in Hollywood.
Megan Markle, The Duchess of Sussex, has encountered a series of sc-ndals and legal battles since leaving the UK, and her attempt to secure an invite to the 2024 People's Choice Awards was met with silence from Simu Liu, the host of the event.
Scheduled for February 25th, 2024, at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, California, the People's Choice Awards is known for its democratic approach, allowing fans to vote for their favorite celebrities, movies, TV shows, music, and social media stars. Despite lacking nominations or notable accomplishments, Megan believed she deserved a place among the industry's elite.
In an email to Simu Liu, known for his role as Shang-Chi in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Megan praised his work and expressed her keen desire to attend the event to support him and other nominees.
In her email, Megan cryptically alluded to upcoming projects she wished to share. However, Simu Liu chose not to respond, dismissing her plea and refraining from forwarding the email to event organizers who had the authority to extend invitations.
Aware of Megan's controversial reputation, Simu Liu was disinclined to associate with her or provide a platform for self-promotion. Consequently, Megan found herself excluded from the guest list, relegated to watching the event unfold from her $4 million mansion in Montecito, California.
Adding to her embarrassment, former friends and colleagues, including Priyanka Chopra, Serena Williams, and Patrick J. Adams, received invitations and accolades. Notably, Taylor Swift, the recipient of the Icon Award, ignored Megan and expressed gratitude to Simu Liu for his unwavering support and friendship.
Megan's failed attempt to secure an invitation highlights a series of failures and embarrassments since her move to the United States, including criticism for perceived hypocrisy, privacy breaches, political activism, lawsuits against the media, and controversial interviews.
Buffeted by former friends and colleagues within the royal family, Megan finds herself isolated from both the British and American public. Criticized as "The Duchess of Disaster," Megan may need to reassess her strategy and objectives to salvage her reputation and career. The rejection from Simu Liu serves as a stark reminder of the challenges she faces in rebuilding her image in the competitive landscape of Hollywood.
