Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, has found herself at the center of yet another storm, as rumors swirl about her professional relationship with one of Hollywood\u2019s top talent agencies, WME. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Multiple sources have revealed\u00a0that the agency has dropped the 43-year-old former royal after months of speculation about their partnership. However, WME has denied these claims, insisting that they continue to represent both Meghan and Archewell, the foundation she runs with her husband, Prince Harry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to insiders, Meghan\u2019s relationship with WME has been strained for some time. Reports suggest that she hasn\u2019t met with the agency\u2019s high-powered CEO, Ari Emanuel, since January 2023, though she has reportedly maintained contact with her day-to-day agents. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The situation reportedly came to a head in January 2024, when Meghan allegedly demanded a meeting shortly after the holidays, expecting detailed presentations and plans. It\u2019s unclear whether this request was for her personal projects or for Archewell, but the incident reportedly led to a heated dispute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAri was done with her,\u201d an industry insider revealed, adding that Meghan was perceived as \u201ctoo demanding\u201d and \u201cdifficult to work with.\u201d While WME maintains that they are still working with her, sources claim that the agency is only involved in a handful of her Archewell projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Despite the drama, Meghan is forging ahead with her latest venture: a Netflix lifestyle show titled With Love, Meghan<\/em>, set to debut next Tuesday. The show is expected to offer a glimpse into her life as a mother, philanthropist, and entrepreneur. However, the road to this launch hasn\u2019t been smooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Meghan recently faced a setback with her lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard<\/em>, which she was forced to rebrand as As Ever<\/em> due to trademark issues. Sources revealed that the products tied to the brand, including her much-hyped jam, won\u2019t be ready for sale until months after the show\u2019s premiere. The delay has raised eyebrows, especially as Meghan is reportedly working on the product line in collaboration with Netflix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Meghan Markle has been repeatedly embroiled in workplace controversies, with former staffers from her time in London jokingly dubbing themselves the \u201cSussex Survivors Club\u201d due to reported difficulties working with her and Prince Harry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Buckingham Palace previously launched an inquiry into bullying allegations against her, though the findings were never disclosed. Jason Knauf, her former press secretary, recently reiterated his 2018 claims, stating that Meghan bullied staff, including forcing two personal assistants out of the household. <\/p>\n\n\n\n He described her behavior as \u201cunacceptable\u201d and claimed she often targeted individuals, undermining their confidence. A\u00a0Vanity Fair<\/em>\u00a0report in January 2024 echoed these concerns, with a former staffer comparing Meghan to a \u201c\u2018Mean Girls\u2019 teenager.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Additionally, a source involved in her\u00a0Archetypes<\/em>\u00a0podcast at Spotify labeled the experience as \u201creally, really, really awful\u201d and \u201cvery painful,\u201d further highlighting ongoing tensions in her professional relationships. These allegations continue to cast a shadow over her public image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
