In a recent episode of her podcast, Meghan Markle addressed the issue of women being labeled as “bimbos” or “dumb blondes” in Hollywood.
The Duchess of Sussex used the character Elle Woods from the movie Legally Blonde, played by Reese Witherspoon, to illustrate her argument.
However, Meghan’s comments seemed to miss the point of the film, as Elle Woods defied stereotypes and proved that being feminine and intelligent are not mutually exclusive.
The controversy arose after Reese Witherspoon declined Meghan’s wedding invitation, citing the fact that they had never met as a logical reason.
Since then, rumors have circulated, suggesting that Meghan’s PR team has been attempting to create a false narrative of a friendship between the two.
When Gossip Cop reached out to reliable sources for insight on their alleged friendship, no evidence was found to support the claims.
According to Exposing EMG, Meghan had approached Reese regarding a potential collaboration for a deal she had with Netflix.
This led to Meghan feeling embarrassed about constantly seeking favors and work from Hollywood A-listers.
However, Reese reportedly turned down the offer, which may have fueled Meghan’s resentment towards her.
Opinions on the matter vary among royal watchers.
Some speculate that Meghan is envious of Reese’s successful production company, which has produced hit films such as Gone Girl and Big Little Lies.
Others believe that Meghan is simply not on the same level as Reese, who has achieved success through her own talent and hard work.
One observer suggested that Meghan may be targeting women who have profited from bimbo stereotypes in an attempt to start a backlash against such roles in movies.
However, it is important to remember that movies are primarily for entertainment.
In the case of Legally Blonde, Reese’s portrayal of Elle Woods showcased a character who defied expectations and excelled in her own right.
Meghan’s criticism also extended to Paris Hilton, whom she wanted to apologize for benefiting financially from playing a bimbo.
It seems that Meghan wants to be seen as the one who sheds light on societal issues and encourages change.
While Meghan may have had high hopes of being embraced by Hollywood after leaving the royal family, it appears that her experience has been quite the opposite.
Her attempts to align herself with A-listers and secure production deals have not been as successful as she had anticipated.
As Meghan continues to navigate her new life in Hollywood, it remains to be seen how she will overcome the challenges and criticisms she faces.
However, it is clear that her podcast episode has sparked a debate about the portrayal of women in the entertainment industry and the importance of breaking stereotypes.
