On one side, we have Meghan kissing on *Suits*—her acting gig. That’s her job, right? She’s playing a role. On the other side, we have Meghan kissing in real life. The problem? The two look eerily similar. And now, thanks to her own PR team, we’re all talking about it.
The worst part? This didn’t need to be a thing. There was no reason for Meghan or Ashley Hansen to bring this to the *Daily Mail*. None. Zero. But they did, and in doing so, they’ve drawn even more attention to the very thing they were trying to debunk: the “fake kissing” rumors.
To make matters worse, they roped in Judy James, a well-known body language expert who’s often seen as sympathetic to the Sussexes. Judy was tasked with “debunking” the rumor, but let’s be real—her explanation was a stretch. According to Judy, Meghan’s facial cupping during a kiss in Canada was a deliberate move to “carefully steer Harry into an un-clumsy kiss.” Seriously?
Here’s the truth: it’s obvious. Meghan was acting on *Suits*, and she’s acting in front of the cameras now. The “fake kissing” narrative didn’t need to be addressed, but by bringing it up, Meghan’s team has only amplified it.
This was a horrible move on Ashley Hansen’s part, and honestly, I’d blame both her and Meghan for this mess. There was no reason to bring attention to this rumor, let alone try to debunk it. All it’s done is remind everyone of the awkward, overly staged moments that have plagued Meghan’s public image.
And let’s not forget the timing. Meghan recently floated a book about post-divorce life—despite still being married to Harry. It’s all just too much. The optics are bad, the strategy is worse, and the result is a PR disaster.
At the end of the day, this whole situation proves one thing: Meghan Markle is hyper-aware of what’s being said about her online. But instead of letting rumors fade, her team keeps fanning the flames. If this is part of a “three-gate strategy,” it’s time to go back to the drawing board.
“Meghan Markle,” “fake kissing rumors,” “PR strategy,” and “Ashley Hansen” strategically placed throughout.
