Down in the glitz and glam of Tinseltown, Meghan Markle’s trying to keep her name in lights, but the buzz ain’t kind. Word on the Sunset Strip is that the Duchess of Sussex is getting the cold shoulder from some of Hollywood’s biggest players, with her latest Netflix venture flopping harder than a blockbuster bomb on opening weekend.
Her show, which promised SoCal summer energy and star-studded vibes, has left viewers yawning instead. Critics are calling it drier than a Santa Ana wind, and even with some familiar faces popping up, the chemistry’s missing that LA spark. Is Meghan’s red carpet cred fading faster than a Venice Beach sunset?
Meghan’s been trying to roll with the cool crowd, like her old Deal or No Deal buddy Chrissy Teigen. Spilling the tea on her show, the former royal shared, “I haven’t seen her in almost 20 years,” admitting they only reconnected a couple of years back. The two swapped sweet nothings on social media, but is this friendship the real deal or just for the ‘gram?
“We just clicked again after all this time, but it’s been a minute since we were briefcase girls together,” Meghan reportedly mused during a candid moment on set.
During their episode, the duo got crafty with dried flowers while Chrissy’s hubby, John Legend, chimed in off-camera. Legend’s own Netflix gig, Rhythm + Flow, keeps him in the streaming game, but even his background vocals couldn’t hype up the flat vibes of Meghan’s show. It’s all smiles for the cameras, but LA’s whispering about whether these reconnections are just Hollywood PR magic.
Meghan’s show wasn’t completely devoid of star power – she brought in heavy hitters like Netflix’s Dinner Time Live host David Chang for the premiere. Later, Queer Eye style guru Tan France joined her in the kitchen to whip up some breakfast magic. Sounds like a recipe for ratings gold, right?
Wrong. Insiders are spilling that neither Chang nor France had ever met the Duchess before stepping on set. Their interactions felt as stiff as a Malibu brunch with no mimosas, lacking the warmth you’d expect from a Hollywood power duo. Without that genuine connection, viewers could feel the awkwardness through the screen.
So, what’s the 411 on Meghan’s status in the City of Angels? Between a Netflix series that’s failing to stream up the charts and guest appearances that feel more staged than a reality TV confessional, the rumor mill’s churning. Some say she’s becoming the diva duchess Hollywood loves to gossip about over kombucha in West Hollywood.
LA’s a tough crowd – you’re either riding high on the Hollywood sign or crashing hard on Skid Row. Meghan’s got the name, the title, and the Cali roots (she’s a native, after all), but rebuilding those A-list bonds might take more than a few cameo cooks in the kitchen. Will she flip the script, or is this the end of her SoCal spotlight? Stick with us for the latest tea on this unfolding drama.
