Meghan Markle: Bracing Herself For More Bad Press Amid Rumors of Ex-Best Friend Jessica … on September 21, 2023 at 5:37 pm The Hollywood Gossip

It’s been a year of ups and downs for Meghan Markle.
The Duchess of Sussex has been dealing with a tidal wave of bad PR ever since the publication of Prince Harry’s controversial memoir back in January.
At one point, polls indicated that Meghan was less popular than ever, and that young people on both sides of the pond found her to be less authentic than her top rival, Kate Middleton.
Last week, Meghan joined Harry at the Invictus Games, and it looked as though the couple’s long-awaited comeback was finally underway.

Meghan delivered a speech to the event’s athletes, and she was photographed beaming by Harry’s side at competitions, medal ceremonies, and beer-fueled celebration dinners.
It was the boost the Sussexes had been needing for months.
But their time in the sun might turn out to be short-lived, thanks to early reports of another memoir that’s likely to shine a spotlight on Meghan.

You might recall that Meghan was once close friends with a Toronto-based stylist named Jessica Mulroney.
Suits filmed in Toronto, and the women became inseparable during the period of time when Meghan spent a large chunk of her year living north of the border.
But in 2020, Meghan cut ties with Jessica in the wake of an unexpected scandal.

Mulroney was fired from her job after being called out for racially insensitive behavior by prominent influencer Sasha Exeter.
Insiders say Meghan was quick to distance herself from Jessica, and at the time, it looked like that would be the end of the two women’s involvement with one another.
Now, however, there are reports that Mulroney is planning to write a tell-all memoir.
The rumor mill started churning when Jessica posted a cryptic comment on her Instagram Story Tuesday night:

“As loving as I am, my detachment game is strong too,” she wrote.
The following day, the gossip site Crazy Days and Nights ran a blind item that seemed to refer to Jessica’s literary debut.
“The north of the border former bff of the alliterate one who was ditched, is apparently writing a book. That should be a very interesting read,” it read.

The site has previously used the nickname “the alliterate one” to refer to the fact that Meghan has the same first and last initial.
Mulroney has not yet confirmed that she intends to write book, but if such a project is in the offing, you can bet that it won’t portray Meghan in a very flattering light.
The Sussex legal team has surely been placed on high alert.

In the meantime, Meghan’s PR machine is still working overtime to bolster her public image.
Several outlets reported today that after the conclusion of the Invictus Games, Meghan did not head right home to SoCal.
Instead, she stopped by TrebeCafé, a Dusseldorf restaurant that hires girls and mothers who have struggled with homelessness.

“The visitors to the TrebeCafé told the Duchess openly about their former life on the street, how they got to know the TrebeCafé and how they got their lives back under control there with the support of the employees,” reads a press release from the organization.
“Meghan Markle took over the chopping of vegetables without further ado,” the statement continued.
“In a relaxed atmosphere, the girls now had the opportunity to ask the Duchess everything they always wanted to know about her.”
We’re sure Meghan’s main reason for the visit was the opportunity to perform a good deed — but the chance to garner positive press probably wasn’t far from the minds of her media handlers.

What We Can Learn Inside 50 Cent’s Explosive Diddy Documentary: 5 Reasons You Should Watch

50 Cent’s new Netflix docuseries about Sean “Diddy” Combs is more than a headline-grabbing exposé; it is a meticulous breakdown of how power, celebrity, and silence can collide in the entertainment industry.
Across its episodes, the series traces Diddy’s rise, the allegations that followed him for years, and the shocking footage and testimonies now forcing a wider cultural reckoning.

1. It Chronicles Diddy’s Rise and Fall – And How Power Warps Reality
The docuseries follows Combs from hitmaker and business icon to a figure facing serious criminal conviction and public disgrace, mapping out decades of influence, branding, and behind-the-scenes behavior. Watching that arc shows how money, fame, and industry relationships can shield someone from scrutiny and delay accountability, even as disturbing accusations accumulate.

2. Never-Before-Seen Footage Shows How Narratives Are Managed
Exclusive footage of Diddy in private settings and in the tense days around his legal troubles reveals how carefully celebrity narratives are shaped, even in crisis.
Viewers can learn to question polished statements and recognize that what looks spontaneous in public is often the result of strategy, damage control, and legal calculation.
3. Survivors’ Stories Highlight Patterns of Abuse and Silence
Interviews with alleged victims, former staff, and industry insiders describe patterns of control, fear, and emotional or physical harm that were long whispered about but rarely aired in this detail. Their stories underline how difficult it is to speak out against a powerful figure, teaching viewers why many survivors delay disclosure and why consistent patterns across multiple accounts matter.
4. 50 Cent’s Approach Shows Storytelling as a Tool for Accountability
As executive producer, 50 Cent uses his reputation and platform to push a project that leans into uncomfortable truths rather than protecting industry relationships. The series demonstrates how documentary storytelling can challenge established power structures, elevate marginalized voices, and pressure institutions to respond when traditional systems have failed.
5. The Cultural Backlash Reveals How Society Handles Celebrity Accountability
Reactions to the doc—ranging from people calling it necessary and brave to others dismissing it as a vendetta or smear campaign—expose how emotionally invested audiences can be in defending or condemning a famous figure. Watching that debate unfold helps viewers see how fandom, nostalgia, and bias influence who is believed, and why conversations about “cancel culture” often mask deeper questions about justice and who is considered too powerful to fall.

South Park’s Christmas Episode Delivers the Antichrist

A new Christmas-themed episode of South Park is scheduled to air with a central plot in which Satan is depicted as preparing for the birth of an Antichrist figure. The premise extends a season-long narrative arc that has involved Satan, Donald Trump, and apocalyptic rhetoric, positioning this holiday episode as a culmination of those storylines rather than a stand‑alone concept.
Episode premise and season context
According to published synopses and entertainment coverage, the episode frames the Antichrist as part of a fictional storyline that blends religious symbolism with commentary on politics, media, and cultural fear. This follows earlier Season 28 episodes that introduced ideas about Trump fathering an Antichrist child and tech billionaire Peter Thiel obsessing over prophecy and end‑times narratives. The Christmas setting is presented as a contrast to the darker themes, reflecting the series’ pattern of pairing holiday imagery with controversial subject matter.
Public and political reactions
Coverage notes that some figures connected to Donald Trump’s political orbit have criticized the season’s portrayal of Trump and his allies, describing the show as relying on shock tactics rather than substantive critique. Commentators highlight that these objections are directed more at the depiction of real political figures and the show’s tone than at the specific theology of the Antichrist storyline.
At the time of reporting, there have not been widely reported, detailed statements from major religious leaders focused solely on this Christmas episode, though religion-focused criticism of South Park in general has a long history.
Media and cultural commentary
Entertainment outlets such as The Hollywood Reporter, Entertainment Weekly, Forbes, Slate, and USA Today describe the Antichrist arc as part of South Park’s ongoing use of Trump-era and tech-world politics as material for satire.
Viewer guidance and content advisory
South Park is rated TV‑MA and is intended for adult audiences due to strong language, explicit themes, and frequent use of religious and political satire. Viewers who are sensitive to depictions of Satan, the Antichrist, or parodies involving real political figures may find this episode particularly objectionable, while others may view it as consistent with the show’s long‑running approach to controversial topics. As with previous episodes, individual responses are likely to vary widely, and the episode is best understood as part of an ongoing satirical series rather than a factual or theological statement.

Sydney Sweeney Finally Confronts the Plastic Surgery Rumors

Sydney Sweeney has decided she is finished watching strangers on the internet treat her face like a forensic project. After years of side‑by‑side screenshots, “then vs now” TikToks, and long comment threads wondering what work she has supposedly had done, the actor is now addressing the plastic surgery rumors directly—and using them to say something larger about how women are looked at in Hollywood and online.

Growing Up on Camera vs. “Before and After” Culture
Sweeney points out that people are often mistaking normal changes for procedures: she grew up on camera, her roles now come with big‑budget glam teams, and her body has shifted as she has trained, aged, and worked nonstop. Yet every new red‑carpet photo gets folded into a narrative that assumes surgeons, not time, are responsible. Rather than walking through a checklist of what is “real,” she emphasizes how bizarre it is that internet detectives comb through pores, noses, and jawlines as if they are owed an explanation for every contour of a woman’s face.
The Real Problem Isn’t Her Face
By speaking up, Sweeney is redirecting the conversation away from her features and toward the culture that obsesses over them.
She argues that the real issue isn’t whether an actress has had work done, but why audiences feel so entitled to dissect her body as public property in the first place.
For her, the constant speculation is less about curiosity and more about control—another way to tell women what they should look like and punish them when they do not fit. In calling out that dynamic, Sweeney isn’t just defending herself; she is forcing fans and followers to ask why tearing apart someone else’s appearance has become such a popular form of entertainment.
