During that time, Meghan traveled to New York for a two-day trip to support Serena at the US Open championship game. Reports emerged that Meghan was making advances towards Serena's husband, Alexis, during the game. Witness accounts suggest that Meghan was seen flirting with him and hugging him, which raised concerns and likely contributed to Serena's mother seemingly ignoring Meghan during the event.
To add to the awkward situation, the bottom of Meghan's dress was not fully fastened, almost leading to an embarrassing wardrobe malfunction. Given Meghan's still-existing ties to the royal family at that time, her behavior was seen as unprofessional and not in line with the expectations placed on her as a member of the monarchy. This incident may have played a part in Meghan's absence from Serena Williams's baby shower.
A rumor has circulated suggesting that Serena played a role in getting Meghan signed with the talent agency WME, as they are close friends. Contrary to what some media outlets may suggest, their friendship remains strong. The rumor further indicates that WME was coerced into representing Meghan as a favor to Serena. This partnership is said to have been extended until at least April 2024, but if it fails to generate the desired work opportunities for Meghan, it might come to an end.
Approximately six months after her signing with WME, Meghan's affiliation with the agency has reportedly not yielded the expected results. This has left her feeling deeply upset, and the connection with the company appears to have presented challenges. WME has been striving to promote Meghan within the industry by involving her in high-profile events alongside A-list celebrities.
However, her reputation within the agency has been somewhat underwhelming, with some likening her influence to "Kryptonite." Agents have been hesitant to endorse Meghan to their clients, and many clients are unwilling to engage with her.
When Meghan attends events, it is often due to the insistence of WME's executive clients or subsidiary companies. Organizers may feel pressured to include her as an add-on, even if they are hesitant to do so. Serena Williams initially advocated for Meghan's inclusion in WME, but it appears that this affiliation has not been financially rewarding as anticipated. This has raised concerns about potential losses and diminishing benefits for the agency.
The future of Meghan Markle's association with WME remains uncertain. If her presence does not lead to significant progress by the upcoming spring, there is a possibility that the arrangement will be dissolved.
