Meghan Markle is reportedly in a complete meltdown over her Netflix series, originally titled With Love, Meghan—or as critics are now dubbing it, With Loathe, Meghan.
Naturally, she’s not blaming herself for the fiasco. Instead, according to commentator Mike Zeroh—who usually focuses on Disney and Marvel gossip but seems to have ventured into Netflix drama—Meghan is laying the blame squarely on the marketing team. Her solution? Fire them all.
The accusation? They supposedly used rejected takes for the trailer. As if the real issue isn’t the content itself but something as trivial as a poorly angled shot of a wig flopping into food. This is classic Meghan logic: don’t fix the actual problem; just scapegoat the person who points it out.
Here’s where it gets even messier. Netflix’s board of directors—those high-level executives with presumably bigger issues to tackle—have reportedly sided with Meghan. Yes, they’re supporting the same person who once believed a handwritten note could repair her public image. Meanwhile, Netflix executives are reportedly less than thrilled, reacting as though someone just informed them that their stock options depend on this series’ success.
Then there’s the now-infamous trailer that sparked widespread criticism. Meghan posted it not once but twice on her shiny new Instagram account. She approved it, signed off on it, and proudly showcased it, akin to a child displaying macaroni art. But now, with backlash pouring in faster than the returns on Harry’s memoir, she’s turning on the marketing team.
This isn’t about rejected takes or bad editing—it’s about Meghan. Her history speaks volumes. Remember the Jane Pauley interview, where her body language with Harry screamed discomfort? Or her other ventures that always seem to end with her pointing fingers at everyone but herself? It’s a pattern. Meghan sees herself as the Beyoncé of the streaming world when, in reality, she’s barely a B-side.
The real issue isn’t the trailer, the wig shot, or even the marketing team. It’s Meghan. Her inability to accept that her ideas might not be groundbreaking has led her to scapegoat everyone else. Even if Netflix assembled a dream team of marketing geniuses, they’d still be packing up right now. The desperate attempts to salvage this—reshooting the trailer, turning off YouTube comments, and delaying the release—are mere Band-Aids on a deep wound.
The internet doesn’t forget. Once something this laughable is out there, it’s permanent. The fact that Netflix’s board is enabling this circus is baffling. At this point, they might as well rename the show How Not to Succeed in Hollywood Without Really Trying.
Meghan Markle seems to have reached a new level of delusion, and the public is watching it unfold. Firing the marketing team won’t save this disastrous show. The problem isn’t the people working behind the scenes; it’s the person front and center, preening for the camera and pointing fingers when things go awry.
So, Meghan, good luck with your newly assembled marketing team. Perhaps this time, they can Photoshop a dose of self-awareness into the trailer—or better yet, craft an exit strategy. Because at this rate, the only project Netflix might greenlight for you in the future is a documentary titled The Duchess of Disaster.
