Jessica Alba firmly declined Meghan's offer to become the Chief Creative Officer for the Markle Arro brand, expressing her reluctance to collaborate with Meghan.
Meanwhile, Meghan Markle is actively seeking a high-profile executive to lead her newly revealed lifestyle brand towards success. A trusted source close to Meghan revealed to the Daily Mail that she is currently in the process of interviewing candidates for the CEO position. Despite having only an Instagram presence and a teaser video thus far, the brand, American Riviera Orchard, is poised to expand into home goods, beauty, and skincare lines.
Critics have accused Meghan of laziness and a lack of attention to detail, citing her failure to properly execute her new venture. Additionally, senior candidates have reportedly declined offers to take on executive roles within Meghan's company, citing concerns about her management style. As a result, there has been a series of departures from Harry and Meghan's workforce, further fueling speculation about the brand's viability.
Recent leaks suggest that Meghan Markle is pursuing Jessica Alba for the role of Chief Creative Officer at American Riviera Orchard. Alba, known for her previous role as Chief Creative Officer at The Honest Company, recently announced her departure from the company she founded over a decade ago. In a heartfelt Instagram post, Alba expressed gratitude for her time at The Honest Company and reassured followers that she would remain involved as a strategic advisor. Despite rumors, sources close to Alba deny that her departure from The Honest Company was motivated by a desire to work with Meghan Markle.
Criticism of Meghan Markle's brand extends to its conceptualization, with many noting similarities to existing celebrity brands like Goop and Martha Stewart. The brand's soft launch has been met with skepticism, with critics questioning its originality and branding. Meghan's promotional efforts on Instagram have also faced scrutiny, with followers expressing confusion about the brand's identity and purpose. The name "American Riviera Orchard" has drawn criticism for its lack of association with home goods, further highlighting Meghan's struggle to align branding with product offerings.
Meghan's history of mismatched branding, as seen with her previous venture, The Tig, further reinforces concerns about her ability to establish a cohesive brand identity. Despite Meghan's efforts to promote American Riviera Orchard, skepticism remains high regarding its potential for success.
