The show is already being labeled as one of the most inauthentic productions by Netflix and the worst marketing campaign in the platform’s history.
Meghan Markle for a moment. We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again: she’s self-absorbed, narcissistic, greedy, and inauthentic. She’s a fake, phony individual who’s desperately trying to cling to the limelight as an “actress” (and yes, I’m using air quotes here).
Despite her efforts, many studios are beginning to drop her—whether it’s for small roles, cameos, or even commercial deals. We’ve already discussed how her contracts with Universal’s Epic Universe and Carnival Cruise Lines fell through. Now, the drama is heating up with Netflix, and it’s not looking good for her.
The Meghan Markle drama is getting more intense, both behind the scenes and in the public eye. A major development involves Netflix CEO Greg Peters and the executives who are now clashing with Meghan over the upcoming series.
Here’s the latest: Meghan recently had another meltdown after Netflix executives decided to cancel several scenes from With Love, Megan following yet another failed test screening. This recent screening, described as a “production disaster,” was for episodes 7 and 8. The board of directors held an emergency meeting and decided to scrap five scenes from episode 7 and six scenes from episode 8—many of which featured Meghan and co-star Mindy Kaling.
The main reason for these cuts? The chemistry between Meghan and Mindy was described as “beyond abysmal” in the final two episodes, which test screeners labeled as a deal-breaker. Meghan, however, is blaming Netflix executives, claiming they hired “fake fans” and calling the screeners “posers.”
Here’s the reality: Netflix brought in actual Meghan Markle fans to watch episodes 7 and 8. Even her own fans agreed that the final two episodes were a production nightmare. The acting, directing, writing, and line delivery were all considered extremely lackluster.
Meghan is now demanding a new audience of mixed screeners, but Netflix executives are taking the test screeners’ notes and reviews very seriously. These reviews have already resulted in over 2 hours of footage being cut from the final version of With Love, Megan.
Meghan is demanding that Netflix release the deleted scenes at some point, but the platform is refusing. This has led to moments of outrage at Netflix HQ, where Meghan reportedly called Greg Peters “the most incompetent CEO in show business” and demanded a complete reveal of all the lost footage.
She’s also claiming that Netflix executives had an agenda by hiring “phony fans” of hers, which she believes is the reason the test screenings failed. But let’s be real—this is a poor excuse. The truth is, the show is simply not working. The writing, directing, producing, and even the studio lighting are all failing to come together.
This situation is eerily similar to the production nightmares happening with Snow White 2025 over at Disney. Both projects star Rachel Zegler, and both are facing significant backlash from test screenings.
At Netflix, the board of directors has been on Meghan’s side for the most part, but the executives and producers, including Greg Peters, are highly critical of her. This internal battle has been brewing for months, and it’s only getting worse.
If With Love, Megan fails—and there’s a very good chance it will—Netflix is unlikely to renew Meghan’s contract. However, the platform does have a contingency plan. If the show performs moderately well, they already have a second season planned. But if it flops, they’ll pull the plug and move on.
Meghan is having a tough time accepting the reality of the situation. The test screenings have failed miserably, and she’s becoming increasingly defensive and bitter. There’s another test screening coming up that will review the entire series, so stay tuned for updates on that.
Overall, this is shaping up to be a ratings disaster for Netflix. Meghan Markle’s inability to accept criticism and her constant blame-shifting are only making things worse. The internal battles between the board of directors and the executives are adding fuel to the fire, and it’s clear that Netflix is in a tough spot.
