Recent reports suggest Meghan Markle’s popularity in Tinseltown is plummeting faster than Netflix subscriber numbers. Her circle of celebrity friends and supporters are reportedly dropping like flies, with many in Hollywood wanting nothing to do with her anymore. Ouch!

These revelations come from Princess Diana’s former butler, Paul Burrell, who claims major stars like Oprah Winfrey have begun distancing themselves from Meghan after initially being in her orbit. According to Burrell, Meghan’s Hollywood cloud is deteriorating rapidly, as Americans realize she and Harry are more of a sideshow and less worthy of the spotlight.

If Burrell’s account is accurate, it paints a brutal picture of Meghan’s current standing among the upper echelons of fame. Going from a coveted “it girl” status to being widely shunned in elite entertainment circles is quite a harsh reversal of fortunes. Imagine the humiliation Meghan must be feeling if legitimate stars like George Clooney and Katy Perry have allegedly turned down her invites.

 

Industry heavyweights treating her like an untouchable has-been must be devastating for someone so relentlessly seeking validation. In Meghan’s mind, she’s likely cooking up delusions about being a perpetual victim. But let’s be real, despite all the self-aggrandizement and celebrity worship, it seems Meghan’s honeymoon phase as Hollywood’s shiny new toy has worn off. 

Can we blame the entertainment elite for losing interest in her aimless brand of faux activism? And that’s not even touching on the stories of her alleged diva behavior and bullying. It’s honestly surprising Meghan didn’t lose more allies given her constant spotlight-chasing antics.

At some point, brands and institutions draw a line when their reputation is undermined by someone’s desperation for relevance. That’s why one has to wonder if the backlash from Meghan’s constant need for the spotlight has reached a point where Hollywood is cutting ties with her, as ominously suggested by Paul Burrell.

If true, and if even Oprah Winfrey is reportedly distancing herself from Meghan, it’s a major red flag. Oprah has been Meghan’s most vocal supporter, so her withdrawal signals a significant turning point. When someone as powerful as Oprah dips out of your extended universe, it’s a clear indication that bridges have been burnt.

From manufacturing public feuds with her own family to shameless attempts at hijacking the global spotlight, Meghan may now be seen as radioactive. In her former playground of Hollywood, losing Oprah’s support is a massive blow. It suggests Meghan’s utility as a symbol or representation of grander ideals has expired.

This should be a teachable moment for Meghan and anyone seeking relevance in the world. The world doesn’t stop turning just because you want to freeze things at the peak of your powers. No, it stops for no one.
