So now she's toast?

This is not a Meghan bashing thread before the usual posters jump on me. It's merely an observation.

Jessica Mulroney, Meghan's BFF has been dropped from all her professional roles, TV shows and lots of other stuff I don't know (or care) anything about.

This is because of an online spat with a BLM supporting 'influencer'. Mulroney's response to criticism that she neglected to use her 'platform' to support the protests following George Floyd's death, was perceived as nasty and maybe a bit threatening.

Flippin' heck! WW3 broke out and now the woman behind MM - her unofficial spokeswoman, who largely organised the wedding, whose twin sons carried the train into the chapel, who is probably one of Archie's secret godparents and who looked after him when Harry and Meghan briefly returned to the UK post Megxit has fallen from grace in such a shocking way that MM has cut her adrift, not wishing to be associated with a tarnished image. This has all happened in the space of a few days. Phew!

So much for friendship!

What a dreadful reflection on our society that someone has been accused of “not using her social platform to support(or was it denounce?) an issue” and responses are decried as “nasty and threatening”
How totally childish. Sticks and stones?
I might as well accuse merlot of not using her post on GN to support (or decry) the current price of lambs’ fleeces being less than what it costs to shear them!
How can you denounce people for what they didn't say?
And as for the child stars of the Harry Potter films, they are ungrateful brats. Since when did being a “celebrity” qualify anybody to expatiate on moral issues? They are actors for heavens sake, same as my friend is a dentist or my neighbour a dustman. Who decided these entitled young people should be pundits or our moral compass? ?????
Oh god, 1984 has come a bit late this year

Well, I just hope Prince Harry is up to speed and checks out with M.M before he utters one word, else he'll be joining these now ex friends and ex husband ! He must be feeling quite nervous!!

Isn't it awful MawBangryshocksad what on earth is the world coming too? 1984 may have come a bit late this year, but the thought police seem to be busy don't they.

Megan may sue Jessica

Jabberwok Sat 13-Jun-20 14:35:26

Sue her? What for? Can MM afford to bearing in mind she's already suing the DM! I doubt P.C will pay for this?!!!!

The world of 'platforms' and 'influencers' (whatever they are) applauds outspoken and often ill informed comments so long as there's a Woke cause there somewhere.

When the Duchess of Cambridge posted pictures of holocaust survivors, JR wrote on Instagram, 'Pretty pictures are pretty pictures. Strive to use your platform for good!' It was then taken down.

Kate, of course, didn't react. She didn't need to when she will eventually be on a throne not a platform.

Just who do these numpties think they are?

So I looked this up and guess what all the reports quote as their source of the news the Daily Mail. MM has yet to make a statement. Now forgive me from thinking that the Daily Mail can scarcely be considered an unbiased or objective reporter of news about MM.You also wonder which of her friends would contact that paper?
Still it's another good excuse to Meghan Bash. Lucca forecast 10 pages for the last one. Not much on GN just now, so this one will be there in no time grin

The Thought Police are out in force.

merlotgran Sat 13-Jun-20 14:38:01

JM not JR. Not so different though. grin

merlotgran Sat 13-Jun-20 14:46:16

trisher, Meghan doesn't make statements, she gets one of her mouthpieces to do it for her. Jessica Mulroney is history so my money's on Omid Scobie.

Shouldn't be long now.

maddyone Sat 13-Jun-20 14:54:37

I thought the Daily Mail was one of the papers that Meghan and Harry are not speaking to.

Lucca Sat 13-Jun-20 14:57:50

Literally don’t understand the story

maddyone Sat 13-Jun-20 15:02:02

I don’t understand what’s happened either Lucca.

trisher Sat 13-Jun-20 15:04:53

I don't think you need to understand any of it. It's just a chance to get a nice little bitch about MM in

EllanVannin Sat 13-Jun-20 15:05:59

I can't be doing with shallow people anyway no matter who they are. Those who fall out at the drop of a hat.

Jabberwok Sat 13-Jun-20 15:18:29

No one is bitching about MM, just curious about this latest saga with her now ex best friend! I can't understand why she's so upset with her to the point of a complete fall out?
As for JK Rowling,spoilt brats indeed, the hand that fed them comes to mind!

trisher Sat 13-Jun-20 15:28:10

Is she though Jabberwok where's the evidence?

Anniebach Sat 13-Jun-20 15:32:06

All those in the public eye who are criticised on this forum only those who criticise Megan Markle are bitching ?

PamelaJ1 Sat 13-Jun-20 17:26:51

MawB, well said.

Urmstongran Sat 13-Jun-20 19:00:42

Well said Maw ?
It’s all getting a bit silly now. People probably need to get back to work. They’ve too much time on their hands!
