The glittering world of Hollywood was recently shaken when Jonathan Bailey, the breakout star of *Bridgerton*, openly slammed Meghan Markle’s upcoming Netflix project, *With Love, Meghan*, during an appearance on *The Graham Norton Show*. Bailey didn't mince words, delivering a scathing review of Meghan's trailer that has since sparked intense reactions across the entertainment industry. His blunt comment, "Your trailer is absolute trash," quickly became a rallying cry for Meghan’s critics, escalating the controversy even further.
The drama started when Graham Norton casually asked Bailey if he had seen Meghan’s highly anticipated trailer. With a smirk, Bailey responded, "Yes, I’ve seen it. How could I not? It’s everywhere." What followed was a no-holds-barred critique that left the audience both shocked and entertained. Bailey described the trailer as a "vanity project masquerading as inspiration," criticizing its lack of authenticity and its focus on Meghan’s personal narrative rather than meaningful content.
This isn’t the first time Meghan’s projects have faced backlash. Since stepping away from royal duties, Meghan has attempted to carve out a space in the entertainment world, but her ventures have been polarizing. *With Love, Meghan*, billed as a heartfelt exploration of human connection and personal growth, has been derided by some as little more than a self-serving PR exercise designed to elevate her public image. Bailey’s comments have only stoked the fire, with many social media users applauding him for speaking out. One fan wrote, "Finally, someone has the guts to call out Meghan Markle’s endless PR stunts." Another added, "Jonathan Bailey just said what we’re all thinking. This isn’t inspiration, it’s a soapbox."
However, Meghan’s supporters quickly rushed to her defense, accusing Bailey of being unnecessarily harsh and dismissive. "This is a project about love and connection," one fan tweeted. "Why is everyone so determined to tear her down?" Despite the mixed reactions, the backlash against both the trailer and Meghan herself has been impossible to ignore.
So, what exactly has made *With Love, Meghan* such a divisive project? Critics argue that it represents another example of Meghan centering herself in every narrative, even when tackling broader societal issues. In the trailer, Meghan delivers monologues about her own experiences, framing them as universal truths, while clips of smiling participants appear to take a back seat to her star power. The tone has been described as self-indulgent, with many questioning whether the project offers anything new or valuable.
