Meghan Markle seems to have reached a new low in her pursuit of relevance, according to an intriguing blind item from Crazy Days and Nights.
Reportedly, Meghan had been attempting to form a partnership with none other than the Kardashian family. Known for her attempts to carve a niche in the world of celebrity and high society, Meghan has been avoiding runway show invitations lately. Now, it appears she saw an opportunity to gain visibility by aligning herself with the Kardashian juggernaut—hoping to ride on their immense fame and success.
However, the Kardashians, often described as American royalty of self-branding, aren't known to collaborate with just anyone. Their brand is a finely-tuned machine, and they have built a billion-dollar empire on a carefully curated image and massive social media following. Compared to the Kardashian dynasty's vast audience, Meghan's online presence seems modest. This imbalance makes it clear that Meghan may stand to gain far more from such a collaboration than the Kardashians would. Meghan’s reputation has, at times, been marred by controversies and awkward encounters, which may not align with the Kardashians' polished public persona. Given this, it's hard to see why they would willingly associate themselves with someone who, at times, struggles with her own public image.
Imagining a joint press release between the Kardashians and Meghan Markle could indeed be awkward—perhaps even disastrous for both brands. If the Kardashians were to entertain a collaboration, it would likely be on their terms and with considerable caution. Kris Jenner, the mastermind behind the Kardashian empire, is known for her shrewd decisions and wouldn’t risk tainting her family’s reputation with any association that could bring unnecessary chaos. Meghan’s tumultuous relationships, both in and outside the royal family, might make the Kardashians think twice about bringing her into their tight-knit circle.
Recently, reports suggested that Meghan had been turned down by the Kardashians, much to her dismay. For a family accustomed to mingling with A-list celebrities, a partnership with Meghan may not offer the appeal she had hoped. The Kardashians, already busy navigating their own occasional controversies—such as recent headlines involving drama with music mogul Diddy—probably don’t want to take on any additional baggage from Meghan’s side, which often includes “woe is me” narratives and extensive tabloid coverage.
Adding to Meghan's challenges, reports indicate that she faced another setback when Kris Jenner allegedly rejected any potential business involvement. While Meghan has attempted to launch several projects, from lifestyle brands to cooking shows, most have struggled to gain significant traction in the ultra-competitive world of celebrity ventures. With a strong reputation to uphold, Kris Jenner likely saw the risks of attaching the Kardashian brand to Meghan’s current image, choosing instead to protect her empire.
The Kardashians continue to be a powerhouse of influence, strategic business moves, and glitzy glamour, while Meghan, unfortunately, appears to be a reminder of how quickly fame can slip away. Ultimately, the Kardashians seem to be uninterested in “playing ball” with Meghan Markle, solidifying their position at the top of the fame game and leaving Meghan on the sidelines.
