Meghan Markle Under Fire: Did Her Fake Brand Move Upset Netflix Deal?

Meghan Markle has reportedly been caught red-handed faking a scene in her Netflix series With Love, Meghan. Yep, you heard that right. Let’s unpack the chaos, shall we?

Meghan Markle’s Alleged Netflix Editing Fail Exposed

According to a recent report by the Daily Mail, Meghan Markle's Netflix series suffered a pretty embarrassing editing blunder. Apparently, producers were forced to dub over parts of an episode after Meghan allegedly spent the majority of the segment talking about herself—shocking no one at this point.

In Episode 2 of With Love, Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex invites actress Mindy Kaling to her home for what’s meant to be a sweet, wholesome cooking session for a children’s party. But instead of dishing up fun and insights from her guest, Meghan reportedly dominated the conversation, steering it toward her own life stories—like a personal anecdote about a science teacher, Mr. Ben, who had recently passed away.

Too Much Meghan, Not Enough Mindy

While Meghan appeared to be deep in her own reflections, viewers noticed that Mindy could barely get a word in. When she finally did speak—sharing a touching memory about her love for restaurants and cooking as a child—it didn't seem like it came naturally from the conversation. Instead, a noticeably dubbed voiceover of Meghan was edited in, asking:

“What kind of things did you like to do as a kid?”

Then it cuts to Mindy and childhood photos as she responds:

“Growing up, I loved restaurants and food, so I would find little recipes and then cook for my mom and dad at home.”

Now, whether this was prompted by a behind-the-scenes producer or came straight from Mindy herself is still unclear. But the voiceover placement raised eyebrows.

Megan Kelly Calls It Out

Commentator Megyn Kelly chimed in, pointing out that Meghan Markle rarely asked her guests meaningful questions during the show. According to Kelly, those few questions that did appear were often dubbed in after the fact—giving the illusion of a conversation that didn’t actually happen in real-time.

Kelly even said:

“You can actually tell the questions were edited in. It’s like someone had to coach her on how to sound like a normal person with a genuine interest in others.”

This all follows recent criticism that Meghan is out of touch with real-world experiences, especially after With Love, Meghan aired and was slammed for promoting unrealistic, overly polished lifestyles that everyday parents simply can’t relate to.

"We’re Just Like Everyone Else" – Really?

In a bid to counter criticism, Meghan recently said:

“Once you know us, I think you want us to have the same normality as parents and for our children as they do—despite how unique our situation is.”

But critics aren’t buying it.

One source close to the Sussexes told People (a publication often seen as their mouthpiece) that the family is “normal, loving, and down-to-earth.” However, the public seems less convinced.

Celebrity Reaction: Justine Bateman Weighs In

Actress Justine Bateman, known for Family Ties and Desperate Housewives, didn’t hold back. She criticized the show for feeling inauthentic, saying viewers don’t want to watch someone “play-act” at a role they haven’t earned.

Bateman added that while Meghan has every right to create content, the public also has every right to reject a narrative they don’t find believable.

Spotify Déjà Vu: Faking It Again?

This isn’t the first time Meghan’s been accused of faking it in the content space. Remember her now-canceled Spotify podcast Archetypes? Reports later claimed that for some interviews, Meghan wasn’t even present. Instead, a producer interviewed the guest, and Meghan’s questions were recorded separately and edited in to make it seem like she was there the whole time.

Sound familiar?

With Love, Meghan – But Is It Real?

Now, with With Love, Meghan, we’re reportedly seeing the same playbook. Instead of engaging naturally with her guests, Meghan appears to have recorded voiceover questions after filming, attempting to shift the focus away from herself in post-production.

It’s a PR move that might’ve worked—if it hadn’t been so obvious.

This kind of editing calls into question Meghan’s authenticity, which continues to be a major hurdle for her brand. If people don’t trust, relate to, or like the person behind the content, they’re not going to buy what she’s selling—literally or figuratively.

Final Thoughts: Faking It Doesn’t Fly

Let’s be real: if Meghan were more relatable, likable, and trustworthy, headlines like this wouldn’t even exist. No one would be out here looking for inconsistencies or proof that she’s faking her interactions—because there would be nothing to question in the first place.

But because she’s lost the public’s trust, scrutiny is at an all-time high. And that’s the real reason these stories keep surfacing.
