WME's attempts to improve Meghan's image appear to be futile. Despite their efforts, there has been no significant progress in the last five months, a surprising stagnation for such a major talent agency. It's becoming increasingly clear that Hollywood recognizes Meghan's limitations. In this industry, talent, willingness, and appeal are paramount, and if they are lacking, doors remain closed. Meghan aspires to be a global icon like Princess Diana, but charisma and charm for simply existing aren't enough. Her ambitions in politics also seem problematic, given her thin skin and potential for struggles in the political arena.
It's curious why WME didn't sever ties with Meghan immediately after her controversial stunt, considering it implicated the agency as well. A Women's Wear Daily article from June sheds light on the situation. Meghan was allegedly in talks with Dior for a major brand deal during a PR blitz. However, Dior denied any such negotiations, leaving many puzzled about how the false story circulated. This raises questions about whether WME played a role in the misleading PR strategy, akin to Meghan's approach.
WME represents numerous high-profile clients who sign endorsement deals with major companies, but such deals are typically announced after they're finalized. The fact that the Dior story emerged prematurely suggests Meghan may have been behind the leak. It also implies that Meghan is possibly orchestrating her own PR efforts, which might not be in her best interest. A reputable PR firm wouldn't continually release content that undermines its client's reputation. Meghan's penchant for leaking stories could have prompted WME to hold crisis meetings with her.
