Netflix CEO Takes a Swipe at Meghan Markle as She Attempts to Revive Her Hollywood Career with the Streaming Giant

Netflix CEO Ted Sandos threw shade at Meghan Markle as she attempted to revive her Hollywood career with the streaming giant. The former actress, who married Prince Harry and subsequently left the royal family, experienced a disappointing night at the 2024 Golden Globes. Despite her hopes of revitalizing her Hollywood career through a Netflix deal, she faced a snub from the streaming giant's CEO. During the ceremony, host Joe Koy, the Filipino American comedian taking over from Ricky Gervais, delivered a monologue that spared no one, including Meghan and Harry. The joke revolved around the couple still earning millions from Netflix while not being present at the event. CEO Ted Sandos joined in the laughter and applause, visibly amused by the jest.

The joke referred to the Netflix documentary released in December 2022, where Harry and Meghan discussed their decision to step back from the royal family. This documentary was part of a reported $100 million deal signed in 2020 for various projects, although the couple's popularity plummeted in the past year. Their podcast, "Archewell Audio," under a multi-million dollar deal with Spotify, was dropped after one season, with Spotify's head of podcast Innovation and monetization Bill Simmons dubbing them "grifters."

Meghan's charity, Archewell, also suffered a significant drop in donations, nearly $14 million, within a year, reflecting waning public interest in their philanthropic efforts. Additionally, Meghan was conspicuously absent from a "Suits" reunion at the Golden Globes, where her former co-stars gathered for a photo op. Despite an invitation, Meghan declined, citing scheduling conflicts, and sources revealed she was not eager to face former colleagues who felt she had distanced herself after becoming a royal.

According to insiders, Meghan is working on a Netflix project, a biopic about her life, aiming to restore her image and reputation. However, the project is reportedly facing delays and difficulties as Meghan struggles to secure a director and star willing to collaborate with her. Despite inquiries, Megan's representatives have not provided any comments.
