It's clear that being associated with Meghan's toxic behavior is tarnishing Serena's reputation. Serena has worked hard to establish herself as a champion for noble causes, such as climate change and women's empowerment. But defending Meghan's entitled behavior doesn't align with Serena's values. Unlike Meghan, Serena genuinely stands for female empowerment and isn't interested in playing princess for the paparazzi. It seems Serena realized that Meghan only valued their friendship for fame and status, not for genuine companionship.
There's a clear pattern with Meghan—she latches onto anyone who can boost her popularity, but as soon as they assert their own needs or refuse to be her PR prop, she cuts them off. It's no wonder Serena saw through Meghan's facade and ended their manufactured friendship.
