In a surprising turn of events, Avid Verney has emerged victorious in the highly anticipated Arteis Awards, leaving Meghan Markle in the dust.
Just as the new year began, rumours started swirling about another setback in the Duchess of Sussex’s career.
It appears that her talent agency has dropped her, adding to the string of disappointments she faced in 2023.
Speculations arose after Meghan’s name was nowhere to be found on the website of her supposed new agent, William Morris.
It seems that Meghan may have pushed the boundaries with her constant quest for publicity, often portraying herself as a victim.
Raw commentator Angela Levin took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to express her thoughts on the matter.
She questioned whether Meghan had quietly been dropped by WME, the talent agency.
The absence of her name on their website seemed to suggest so.
Meghan’s career in 2023 was far from successful, especially when it came to awards.
Her agency recently failed to secure a coveted career achievement award, amidst allegations of a $250,000 bribe.
Instead, the Casting Society announced that Avid DuVernay would be receiving the prestigious Lynn Stolmuster Award for Career Achievement at the upcoming Arteis Awards on March 7th.
Avid DuVernay is renowned for her visionary storytelling in the world of filmmaking.
She has been a strong advocate for casting professionals and has made significant contributions to the industry.
CSA president, Destiny Lilly, expressed her admiration for DuVernay’s commitment to inclusive and representative casting throughout her impactful career.
The organisation is thrilled to honor her with this esteemed award.
DuVernay herself shared her excitement, highlighting the importance of casting in her film “Origin.”
She praised her casting director, Ayesha Coley, for their collaboration in assembling a stellar ensemble cast.
DuVernay expressed gratitude for the recognition and acknowledged the privilege of working with such extraordinary talents throughout her career.
Aside from “Origin,” DuVernay’s notable credits include “Selma,” “13th,” “A Wrinkle in Time,” “When They See Us,” and “Queen Sugar.”
Through her non-profit organization, Collective Array, she amplifies films created by people of color and women, earning her a Peabody Institutional Award.
President Destiny Lilly addressed the ongoing speculation surrounding Meghan Markle’s potential rise to stardom.
However, Lilly emphasized that the Duchess has yet to achieve any significant milestones in her career.
The organizers have made it clear that if Meghan were to win the award, they would face boycotts and backlash.
It appears that money cannot buy all the accolades for Meghan, as she continues to face disappointment in her pursuit of becoming a movie star princess.
It seems that Meghan’s aspirations for a glamorous and privileged lifestyle clashed with the realities of her chosen profession.
Rather than embracing the responsibilities and expectations that came with her position, she rebelled against them.
Meghan and her partner, Prince Harry, seemed determined to have things their way, regardless of the consequences.
As Meghan’s career takes another blow, Avid Verney celebrates her well-deserved victory at the Arteis Awards.
