According to sources, Meghan Markle is allegedly in a heated dispute with Netflix CEO Greg Peters after her latest project, *With Love, Meghan*, failed to impress even before its official release. The show, which has been labeled a "historic disaster," has left Netflix scrambling to distance itself from the fallout.
The project, which was expected to be a major success, has instead been described by test audiences as "inauthentic" and "cringeworthy." One source even joked that viewers would "rather watch paint dry" than sit through the show. Netflix, known for greenlighting controversial content in the past, is now reportedly cutting its losses and slashing marketing efforts for the series.
Greg Peters, tasked with managing the crisis, made the bold decision to remove an awkward scene featuring Meghan and Mindy Kaling, where they welcomed celebrity cameos into a fictional home. Test audiences deemed the scene a "deal-breaker," prompting Peters to take action. However, this move reportedly infuriated Meghan, who allegedly screamed at Peters during a remote meeting, accusing him of sabotaging her "masterpiece."
In a surprising power move, Peters also banned Meghan from attending test screenings, preventing her from witnessing the negative reception firsthand. This decision reportedly sent Meghan into a rage, with sources claiming she demanded her scenes be reinstated. Peters, however, stood firm, refusing to back down.
Netflix has since canceled the second major trailer for the show and significantly reduced its marketing budget. Insiders suggest the streaming giant is preparing for the project to flop, with no amount of PR magic likely to save it. The board of directors briefly considered delaying the release until Easter but ultimately decided to stick with the March 4th premiere, seemingly just to "get it over with."
Meghan’s press tour for the show has also been a disaster. Her planned interview with *Variety* was canceled, and other major outlets have shown little interest in promoting the project. Even Netflix appears reluctant to associate itself with the series, despite having funded it.
As if the professional fallout weren’t enough, Netflix subscribers are reportedly leaving the platform in droves, citing frustration with Meghan’s antics and recent price hikes. Meanwhile, Meghan is said to be exploring legal action against Netflix, claiming her contract prohibited edits after post-production. However, insiders reveal that Meghan herself requested changes weeks ago, effectively reopening post-production and undermining her own argument.
This debacle serves as a stark reminder that Hollywood is a business, not a personal vanity project. Despite Meghan’s expectations of royal treatment, *With Love, Meghan* appears to be dead on arrival. No amount of screaming, legal threats, or PR spin seems capable of salvaging what many are calling one of Netflix’s biggest failures to date.
For Meghan, this may be a harsh lesson in humility. Netflix, on the other hand, is likely counting down the days until the show’s release—and the end of this very public disaster.
