Meghan Markle is reportedly furious after Matt Damon, Hollywood’s beloved everyman, completely ignored her upcoming Netflix cooking show while enthusiastically promoting comedian Andrew Schulz’s stand-up special.
Damon’s promotional strategy involved relentlessly roasting Schulz in a viral skit that audiences found genuinely hilarious—something Meghan’s critics claim her show is unlikely to be. On March 4, Netflix is set to release two vastly different projects: Schulz’s stand-up special, where he humorously explores IVF, fatherhood, and low sperm count, and Meghan’s With Love, Meghan, in which she bakes while adorned in designer jewelry.
While Damon has gone all in on promoting Schulz’s special in an absurdly entertaining way—publicly humiliating him in a diner—he has remained completely silent about Meghan’s latest endeavor. According to insiders, this apparent snub is infuriating Meghan. Damon’s satirical promotion is a masterclass in comedic marketing. In the skit, he walks into a diner and ruthlessly mocks Schulz’s parenting, his mustache, and even declares to the entire restaurant that Schulz’s balls are full of oatmeal—classic bro humor. And the strategy worked. The internet loved it, and everyone is talking about Schulz’s special. Meanwhile, Meghan’s show, despite its royal branding and Netflix’s backing, has barely made an impact. The only headlines she’s generating are about Damon’s complete indifference toward it.
Sources claim Meghan is seething. She has meticulously crafted an image of grace, elegance, and wholesome cake-baking, only for Hollywood’s golden boy to pretend she doesn’t exist. All she wanted was a little acknowledgment—perhaps a simple “Hey everyone, Meghan Markle is making cupcakes on Netflix!”—but she got nothing. According to an insider, likely someone who endured one of Meghan’s rants, she expected support from Hollywood’s elite, especially from Damon, who has connections to both Prince Harry and Prince William. She is reportedly devastated that he is championing a comedy special while ignoring her show, which she genuinely believes is spreading positivity.
The underlying message? How dare Matt Damon prioritize humor over Meghan’s carefully curated PR effort? But the reality is simple: Hollywood thrives on entertainment value, and unfortunately for Meghan, audiences would rather watch Damon humorously torment Andrew Schulz than see her frost a cake. Damon likely wants nothing to do with the ongoing drama surrounding Meghan and Harry. He’s already entangled in the awkward rift between Harry and William, and the last thing he needs is another controversy.
Even if Damon had acknowledged Meghan’s show, would it have changed anything? Critics have already dismissed it as dull, pretentious, and akin to watching someone bake cookies while delivering a TED Talk about themselves. In contrast, Schulz’s special has one crucial element Meghan’s show lacks—genuine humor. People want to laugh, not be lectured while someone sifts flour in a $5,000 outfit.
So while Meghan Markle reportedly fumes over being ignored, Matt Damon is focused on producing actual entertainment. And if that bothers her, perhaps next time, she should consider adding a punchline to the batter.
