Meghan and Harry were there, and that’s it—such a star-studded birthday bash! Honestly, I’m not surprised. They keep seeming to have photo ops taken at events they sort of just pass through because they live together in Montecito. Even if Oprah is being nice and not completely avoiding her, it doesn’t seem like they’re besties, right? Are you sensing the same manipulation I am?
Oprah is the puppet master here. I think she knows that a separation or divorce is on the horizon and wants the first interview with Meghan. She’s going to keep them close—probably closer to Meghan than to Harry, I would think.
Harry is recording the whole thing with the photographers? Remember the catastrophic car chase incident? There’s a version of this where he really does have PTSD because of his mom and everything else. Every time he’s in a car, he’s recording. “Are we out of the car yet?”
She completely used his post-traumatic stress disorder to get him. I mean, imagine laughing like that next to someone who has paparazzi-related PTSD. What’s so funny?
It’s strange. The drivers found it funny, but Harry’s dealing with PTSD while Meghan’s having the time of her life! They’re trying to get a picture, but they didn’t get a shot with Oprah, did they?
No, Oprah came out in a separate car with Gayle and Alicia Keys. That’s not them; just keep going down the list.
So, there’s Oprah, Gayle, Alicia Keys, and Alicia Keys’s husband, SW. Okay, so Alicia Keys was there—let’s correct that. A couple of other stars were there too; I’ll give them that.
Brian Robbins showed up as well. What’s he trying to do? My Paramount’s not in the best shape right now. He must be looking for work.
Tracy wants to be part of the lifestyle brand, but she doesn’t look happy being photographed.
No, she doesn’t. And that’s one of Meghan’s employees, and they’re not laughing. Meghan’s got her hand on her shoulder, so who knows what she’s telling her? It’s all a bit weird—photographing everything they clearly see!
They’re so annoying! You made a good point, and I didn’t want to forget it because you’re spot on about Oprah cozying up to Meghan.
Yes! She did the same thing with Michael Jackson. If you’re unaware, she got famous because of him. Michael gave her one of her biggest first exclusives because she was an upcoming, talented Black journalist. Then later, after he died, she cozied up to his kids and got an exclusive interview with them.
After that, she went and produced *Leaving Neverland* with those two dubious liars. Not only did she produce it, but she also hosted a special with an audience filled with abuse survivors to just reiterate, “We don’t have any proof, but we’re going to believe them.”
It was awful, and she knows it. She’s been backpedaling since then. Oprah is the biggest snake in the industry. It makes sense that she and Meghan would align.
Tyler Perry’s the same way. Nobody likes him in Hollywood! Spike Lee went off on him, saying, “I’m not going to say what he said,” but Oprah and Tyler Perry are both in it for their own gains.
Oprah’s keeping them in her back pocket. We all know why—she wants the first interview when they separate or file for divorce. Meghan’s going to do the same thing that Amber Heard did and cry abuse, saying, “All those years with Harry were awful!”
She’ll say he was in a drug-filled marriage and used to get drunk every night. He had PTSD but wouldn’t get help for it. I tried to give him therapy, and remember, Oprah tried too!
Oprah is going to want to capitalize on that. She doesn’t like the royal family, and if Harry and Meghan separate, Harry will be going back to the royal family.
The Pressure of Fame
That would be a huge interview! It would be massive.
Yeah, and Tyler Perry has a history too, especially with all the Diddy stuff going on. There are lots of rumors swirling about him as well.
It’s interesting how all these rich people have backgrounds that aren’t very good, and Meghan’s aligning herself with them. I don’t think she cares; she just wants fame!
Her stocks are going down, and the clock is ticking.
I’m working on this, and I’m realizing more and more that no one wants to talk about them anymore. I don’t want to say it, but there’s a big name I have access to that wants to talk, and they’re just like, “I don’t want to keep giving them more attention.”
A Shifting Narrative
Are you sensing that too?
I do, but this is the problem that makes me extremely nervous. Meghan knows that game. It’s kind of like what the Kardashians do when they see their stock going down; they create something crazy to grab attention.
Kanye’s being controversial, and that’s why I’m very nervous.
I’m not the biggest fan of Harry. I think he’s a snake too, but I can really see something coming because her lifestyle brand is not going to launch. Let’s face it, it’s not going to launch at all.
The Future of Their Brand
Yeah, it’s interesting. Will it launch? If it does, there’s no way that thing lasts. With the economy as it is, how do you sustain that?
The Flamingo Estate isn’t a big deal. I don’t know what she’s thinking. This is such a bad investment.
She doesn’t even own the name! This Netflix show is going to be such a blip on the radar that no one’s going to watch. It’s all a mess!
I think Netflix was like, “You need to produce something,” so they had some money and good producers. They probably think, “We’re going to do this,” but a polo show and a cooking show? Come on, nobody cares!
That stuff’s going to bomb so hard. Netflix is going to see it and won’t renew it.
Looking Ahead
She’ll be stuck with that little podcast she’ll do on the side.
Yes, and the podcast company is being sold!
Oh, is it already? It got “markled”! We did a whole episode on that.
The bank owns most of it, and it’s going through the bank. It’s almost like it’s not technically in bankruptcy, but it’s being sold through a bank.
Well, there was never going to be any money there for her. Her podcast was terrible—it’s done! The company’s gone, and they’re liquidating it.
Maybe that’s what she’s laughing about. Perhaps everyone got together, and it wasn’t really Tyler Perry’s birthday party. Maybe it was just a bunch of Diddy supporters going, “Okay, what are we going to do next?”
We all need the same story. Everyone needs to align because you see Alicia Keys hanging out with Diddy. There are pictures of Harry with Diddy too. I think it’s a stretch, but he has met the man.
