In the world of micro-celebrities, everyone wants a piece of the action.
Whether you’re a pop star or a reality TV personality, being in the spotlight means people clamoring to have their picture taken with you.
But what happens when the dark side of fame kicks in?
It can be a brutal awakening, as those who once supported you, such as managers, agents, and business managers, suddenly desert you.
This is a phenomenon I’ve witnessed firsthand, having worked in the celebrity world, attending red carpet events and being involved in the record industry.
Imagine being Meghan Markle, a struggling B actress at best, who then marries into the royal family and is catapulted into worldwide fame.
She had the power to invite anyone she wanted to her glorious royal wedding in May 2018, despite not knowing most of the guests.
The only people she truly knew were her mother and some members of the cast of Suits, the cable TV show she starred in.
However, it turns out that even they weren’t as close as they seemed.
It’s a chilly day today, isn’t it?
Thank you for your comments on my previous weather report.
Some people may dismiss concerns about snow as being old-fashioned, but the dangers are real, regardless of age.
As we grow older, we become more cautious in our movements, even in our own homes.
I recently had a near miss when I almost slipped on a deodorant bottle.
It’s strange how things can happen, isn’t it?
And that brings us to Meghan Markle’s story, which took a dramatic turn for the worst.
What’s fascinating is that Meghan never saw it coming.
Her father, who has been in the entertainment industry all his life, must have witnessed similar situations countless times.
Yet, Meghan was blindsided by the backlash she faced.
The reason for her isolation from the people she spent seven seasons with on Suits is quite simple.
During the Golden Globes, a comedian made derogatory remarks about Meghan, her husband, and the royal family.
She expected someone like Oprah Winfrey, who has faced her fair share of criticism, to defend her.
But there was no support, not even from her former castmates.
In fact, interviews on the red carpet revealed that the cast of Suits didn’t acknowledge Meghan’s presence or her contribution to the show after seven seasons.
One senior cast member even stated that they didn’t have her number and she wasn’t part of their WhatsApp group.
It was clear that they couldn’t care less about her.
According to a source close to Meghan, her team wants to avoid any further fallout with people.
They want her to rise above the situation with Suits.
However, the fact that none of the cast members acknowledged her suggests that they are done with her.
Once you’re in the dumper with Meghan, there’s no way back.
She cuts ties and doesn’t let anyone back into her life, as Jessica Mulroney and others have discovered.
These are tough times for the William Morris Endeavour Agency, which represents Meghan.
In show business, not everyone will love you all the time.
Perhaps it’s a lesson Meghan herself needs to learn.
In conclusion, Meghan Markle’s rise to fame came with a price.
The dark side of fame has left her feeling isolated and abandoned by those who once supported her.
It’s a harsh reality that many micro-celebrities face, and Meghan is no exception.
As she navigates her newfound fame, she must learn to handle the ups and downs of show business and understand that not everyone will always be on her side.
