Meghan Markle's push for her American Riviera Orchard products is gaining traction as two notable figures step forward to reveal they're among the fortunate few to have tasted her initial batch of strawberry jam.
Both award-winning actress and comedy writer Mindy Kaling and actress Tracy Ellis Ross, daughter of Diana Ross, have shared their delight in receiving jars of this culinary gem. As Meghan prepares to launch her Lifestyle brand, these revelations add to the anticipation. They join an exclusive group of just 50 individuals who've had the privilege of sampling Meghan's Jam ahead of its official release.
Among the other recipients are Megan's fellow polar wife, Dell, esteemed fashion designer Tracy Robbins, and long-time friend Kelly McKenzie.
Expressing her enthusiasm for Meghan's American Riviera Orchard brand, Mindy Kaling exclaimed, "Obsessed!" Tracy Ellis Ross, star of the hit comedy "blackish," showcased the jar of jam on her Instagram story, alongside a bowl of moldy lemons and wilted foliage. While Tracy has not commented directly, her playful presentation suggests a hint of teasing towards Meghan. Mindy, on the other hand, made sure to present the jam in a pristine manner, removing any dead foliage from the bowl before photographing a jar nestled among fresh lemons.
Tracy Ellis Ross, known not only for her lineage as Diana Ross's daughter but also for her numerous TV shows, raises questions about potential reciprocity or influence at play, common occurrences in the bustling world of Hollywood. The meticulous instructions given by Meghan for receiving the package suggest a desire for perfect presentation, highlighting Meghan's attention to detail and perhaps hinting at her desire for positive publicity.
As the buzz around Meghan's product promotion grows, comparisons are drawn to previous instances, such as her endorsement from Oprah for a coffee brand just before Oprah's Wellness event. However, some skeptics question the scalability of such attention-grabbing tactics, especially when considering the competitive nature of the entertainment industry. Unlike sectors like Pharmaceuticals, where profits can soar with exclusive rights, the margins in the entertainment business are narrower, making each promotional move crucial.
Despite criticisms of her approach, Meghan seems undeterred, perhaps finding comfort in the global spotlight, even if it invites ridicule. The spectacle surrounding her product promotions may seem tiresome to some, but to Meghan, it appears to be a calculated strategy to stay relevant in the public eye. Whether she can secure endorsements of the same caliber as Oprah's remains to be seen, but Meghan's determination to carve her path in the business world remains unwavering.
