In the world of Tinseltown, the latest gossip revolves around Meghan Markle and her recent escapade. However, this time the setback comes not from the Royal Palace, but from Hollywood itself. The renowned filmmaker Tyler Perry, who had previously offered a lifeline to Meghan in her pursuit to reignite her acting career, found himself pondering a difficult decision. Despite their close friendship, fate had other plans.
Tyler Perry, the maestro of filmmaking, had considered casting Meghan in his new Netflix series, "Beauty in Black," a narrative that seemed tailor-made for her tastes. However, it appears that Tyler had to make the tough call and part ways with Meghan professionally. The headliners for the series have now been revealed as Taylor Paul Williams and Crystal Stewart, accompanied by a talented cast including Amber Rain Smith, Rico Ross, Debbie Morgan, Richard Lawson, Julian Horton, Shannon Wallace, Brian Tanaka, Joy Raris, Ashley Vera, and others. The show consists of 16 episodes and is part of Perry's multi-year first-look deal with Netflix. Angie Bones and Tony Strickland will be producing the series for Tyler Perry Studios.
You might wonder why Meghan wasn't cast in the series. Let's just say that her acting skills, or rather the lack thereof, and the perpetual dramas surrounding her proved to be a tad problematic for a project aiming for the stars. Tyler's associates, Angie and Tony, had to intervene, advocating for the project's integrity rather than risking it with Meghan's questionable talents. Thus, with a heavy heart, Tyler made the executive decision to sever ties professionally with Meghan.
This must have been a bitter pill for Meghan to swallow, yet another reminder of the unforgiving nature of the entertainment industry, where talent and reputation reign supreme. Adding insult to injury, critics and online warriors didn't hold back, suggesting that Tyler Perry wants to collaborate with genuine talent, implying that Meghan falls short in that department.
However, fear not, for Meghan is not one to fade into the background quietly. Rumor has it that she is expected to make her acting comeback this year. Astrologer Susan Miller revealed that Meghan craves a return to acting, stating, "Megan wants to go back to acting. I don't think the Netflix business plan of creating movies is the way it's going to go. I think she'll go back to work." This comes after a rough few months in 2023 that included Spotify pulling the plug on Meghan's podcast deal, reminding the couple that they still have to work for their money in Hollywood, even with a royal title attached to their names.
Commentators are now trying to understand why the Sussexes thought things would be so easy for them. Writer and broadcaster Esther Kook didn't mince words when she shared her opinion on Meghan and why she believes the retired actor overestimated herself and what she had to offer. According to Kook, Meghan Markle is just a biased actress known for one role. She stated, "She's not a biochemist or a doctor or anything really of substance. She's just someone who plays pretend for a living." The commentator added that Meghan and Harry must be humbled by reality now, as they have realized the challenges they face.
As for Netflix, it remains unclear if they will get their money's worth from the $100 million deal they signed with the couple. Meghan Markle is known to demand top dollar for her work, but it's uncertain if she'll be paid A-list money for acting, considering she has never been an A-list actress.
