In a recent turn of events, it has come to light that Netflix freelance paparazzi have been capturing footage of the Sussexes.
However, this has sparked a legal battle, as photo agency Backgrid is suing Meghan Markle over her false allegations.
The controversy arose after Meghan Markle, Prince Harry, and Meghan’s mother, Doria Ragland, were involved in a near-catastrophic car chase with paparazzi in New York City.
Responding to these claims, Backgrid USA Inc, a photo agency, released a statement emphasizing their commitment to transparency and ethical journalism.
They clarified that they had received photos and videos of the events from four freelance photographers, three of whom were in cars and one on a bicycle.
Backgrid stressed that these photographers had a professional responsibility to cover newsworthy events and public figures like Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
Backgrid further alleged that the freelance contributors who captured the footage were actually hired by Netflix while filming with Meghan.
They claimed that these contributors then sold the behind-the-scenes photos to Backgrid.
Moreover, a source close to Archwell’s staff leaked that Meghan and Harry were taking footage for their next Netflix project.
Backgrid also addressed the possibility of a dinner after an awards ceremony, which was mentioned in relation to the couple’s stay in New York City.
However, they questioned how Backgrid’s photographers would know about this potential dinner unless explicitly informed.
This led them to believe that the Netflix paparazzi were intentionally informed to be present.
Contrary to Meghan’s claims of being chased in a near-catastrophic car chase, Backgrid clarified that the paparazzi did not swarm the car.
In fact, according to the driver’s retelling, there is a video showing two paparazzi stopping while two others were confirmed to be in cars.
It seems that Meghan was quick to throw Backgrid’s photographers under the bus, but Backgrid is determined to set the record straight.
The photo agency expressed concern about the potential consequences of working with Harry and Meghan, stating that they may end up getting someone hurt and then blaming the Backgrid paparazzi for it.
As a result, Backgrid announced that they will be looking into the matter and taking Prince Harry’s allegations seriously.
They emphasized their stance against harassment and illegal activities, and if necessary, they are prepared to take legal action against Meghan and Harry.
This recent incident sheds light on Meghan’s tendency to create a fantasy life filled with unpredictable danger.
However, her lies only serve to highlight her desire to be at the center of a media frenzy.
It remains to be seen how this legal battle will unfold, but it is clear that both sides are determined to defend their positions.
In conclusion, the clash between Netflix freelance paparazzi and Backgrid Agency has brought to the forefront the ethical and legal implications of capturing and selling behind-the-scenes footage.
While Backgrid maintains its commitment to fair and factual journalism, Meghan Markle faces a lawsuit over her false allegations.
This incident serves as a reminder of the complexities surrounding the lives of public figures and the media’s role in documenting their activities.
