The royal family, vehemently denying the allegations, responded by issuing legal threats, demanding both an apology and a retraction from Scobie. Described as Meghan's staunch supporter and propagandist, Scobie reportedly sought refuge at Meghan's Montecito mansion, where discussions centered around their next moves. Subsequently, they headed to the WME offices, where Meghan inked a lucrative deal with the company's CEO, Ari Emanuel.
Sources have suggested that Meghan and Scobie have been devising plans to undermine the royal family while elevating their own profiles through a series of ambitious projects, including a Netflix documentary, a podcast, a memoir, and even a potential political campaign. Meghan, who aspires to become a U.S. president someday, views Scobie as a valuable ally and spokesperson in the media landscape.
However, their secretive rendezvous did not go unnoticed by the paparazzi, who captured images of them entering and exiting the WME offices. These photos have ignited outrage among royal watchers, who have criticized Meghan for being manipulative and hypocritical. They have also cast doubt on the credibility of Scobie's book, which claims to unveil the truth behind Meghan and Harry's departure from the royal family.
Some voices online have been particularly critical, with one commenter on Reddit describing Meghan as a master of deception and manipulation, accusing her of using Omid Scobie as a pawn to spread false accusations and propaganda against the royal family. The commenter decried her actions as a disgrace to the monarchy and the Commonwealth.
In the midst of this controversy, Scobie has not escaped scrutiny either, with some labeling him as a fraud and a coward who fled to Los Angeles to hide behind Meghan Markle. Many feel that he should apologize to both the royal family and the public for his perceived dishonesty and bias, asserting that he is more of a flatterer and a parasite than a journalist.
Meanwhile, Meghan Markle's talent agency, WME, is reportedly deeply troubled by the scandal and the negative attention it has drawn to their clients. A senior production source disclosed that WME is contemplating severing ties with Meghan due to concerns that she may be damaging their reputation and relationships with other celebrities and guests. Some within the industry find Meghan difficult to work with, describing her as demanding, divisive, and prone to causing trouble and controversy with her interactions and statements. These developments have prompted a reconsideration of their association with her in favor of more trustworthy and respected talent.
