Following the rejection of her podcast by Spotify, Meghan Markle has secured a new platform for "Archetypes" at Lemonada Media, according to In Touch. Reports suggest Meghan is now reaching out to former colleagues from 'Suits' in a bid to revive her podcast and attract much-needed viewership.
While Spotify reportedly declined to renew the podcast for a rumored $20 million, Lemonada Media stepped in to salvage the project. However, this move has been viewed by some as a downgrade, though Meghan remains undeterred.
Insiders reveal Meghan's efforts to enlist support from old 'Suits' connections, particularly from figures like Abigail Spencer and Wendell Pierce. Noticeably absent from this potential guest list are main stars Gabriel Macht, Gina Torres, and Patrick J. Adams, raising questions about their willingness to be associated with Meghan.
PR specialist Kaye Cornelius commented on Meghan's strategy, suggesting she's leveraging remaining friendships and networks. This tactic, while common, underscores Meghan's current predicament.
Adding intrigue to the situation, Paul Burrell, Princess Diana's former butler, remarked on Meghan and Harry's shrinking Hollywood circle, likening it to ice melting in the Sahara. He noted the departure of several A-list celebrities from their entourage, signaling broader shifts in their social and professional spheres.
At the recent Golden Globes, the 'Suits' cast seized an opportunity to humorously jab at Meghan. Comedian Jo Koy jokingly referenced Meghan and Harry's lucrative Netflix deal, implying they're earning millions for minimal effort, much to the amusement of attendees, including Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos.
The public laughter at the Golden Globes served as more than just entertainment—it underscored doubts about the couple's Netflix commitments and their diminishing relevance in the media landscape.
Further complicating matters, Meghan faced a chilly reception from former 'Suits' colleagues at the event. When asked about Meghan's absence, Gabriel Macht humorously questioned the price tag that could lure him back to the show, while Gina Torres revealed the cast's enthusiastic reunion plans sans Meghan.
Executive producer Jean Clann definitively closed the door on any speculation about Meghan's return to 'Suits,' stating plainly that it's not a possibility. These developments mark a stark contrast to Meghan's once-promising Hollywood prospects, now overshadowed by public scrutiny and professional setbacks.
As Meghan navigates these challenges, including public criticism and strained relationships, her path forward in Hollywood and beyond appears increasingly uncertain. The tables have turned dramatically since her days in the royal spotlight, leaving Meghan to confront a new reality in the unforgiving world of media and entertainment.
