The 97th Academy Awards, Hollywood’s annual night of self-congratulation, is just around the corner. But this year, it’s not just about golden statues and emotional acceptance speeches.
Instead, it appears Meghan Markle attempted to steal the spotlight yet again. According to Lady C, Meghan pitched an idea to the Oscars board so outlandish that even Hollywood’s most creative scriptwriters wouldn’t have dreamed it up. She allegedly wanted to interrupt the prestigious ceremony with a grand announcement about the devastating Los Angeles wildfires. And, of course, it wouldn’t be a Meghan Markle production without a little self-promotion—reportedly, she planned to include clips from her upcoming documentary With Love, Meghan.
The same woman who was accused of waltzing through the charred remains of people’s homes for a photo op now seemingly wanted to bring that energy straight to the Dolby Theatre. Because nothing says honoring wildfire victims quite like turning a tragedy into a marketing opportunity.
Adding an even juicier twist, Lady C claims that Netflix itself shut down Meghan’s plan. When the very company paying her millions for content no one asked for steps in to say, "Absolutely not," you know it’s bad. Netflix, the same platform that greenlights almost any documentary, reportedly went behind her back to tell the Oscars board they didn’t want her speaking. Translation? Even Netflix has had enough of her antics. If the streaming giant that let Tiger King and Harry & Meghan see the light of day is drawing a line, that’s a serious red flag.
Meghan seemingly believed she could waltz onto the Oscars stage uninvited, without credentials, without ever being nominated for anything, and deliver a speech about a natural disaster. The Academy, already battling declining viewership, was never going to allow this spectacle to unfold. At this point, even Kanye West could take notes on how not to embarrass himself. It’s been over two decades of Meghan desperately clawing at Hollywood’s A-list doors, yet those doors remain firmly shut. Despite growing up Hollywood-adjacent thanks to her father’s career, dating a producer for a decade, and even marrying a literal prince, she has yet to secure a single meaningful invitation from Hollywood’s inner circle. No Oscars invite, no A-list friendships—just a long string of PR misfires. Every time her name resurfaces in the media, the reaction isn’t curiosity or excitement; it’s eye-rolls and an exhausted Oh, her again. Meghan fatigue is real, and she only seems to be making it worse.
If this story is true, then Meghan has officially reached a new level of absurdity. If it’s not, it almost doesn’t matter—because it’s so believable that no one is questioning it. That’s how predictable her behavior has become. One thing is clear: Hollywood has spoken, and Meghan Markle is not on the guest list. The only way she’s getting on that stage is if she buys a ticket and sneaks past security. And let’s be honest—if she even attempted that, we’d all be in for some world-class secondhand embarrassment. Lights, camera, denial—Meghan, it’s time to accept that the Oscars just aren’t that into you.
