In a shocking turn of events, Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, has been caught in an alleged attempt to bribe acclaimed director Greta Gerwig.
An anonymous source revealed that the secret meeting between the two women took place at a hotel in Los Angeles just days before the Oscars ceremony.
Greta Gerwig, who was nominated for Best Director for her latest film “Anatomy of a Fall,” was approached by Meghan Markle, who sought to leverage Gerwig’s platform to boost her own image and reputation.
The Duchess, who felt snubbed by the Academy for her performance in the Netflix biopic “Maestro,” offered Gerwig a substantial sum of money and access to her influential contacts in exchange for a glowing mention during Gerwig’s acceptance speech if she were to win the award.
Additionally, Meghan Markle suggested that Gerwig could commend her humanitarian work, her courage in speaking out against the royal family, and her support for women’s rights and diversity in the film industry.
However, Gerwig was unimpressed by the proposal and firmly declined the offer, feeling offended and manipulated by Meghan Markle’s intentions.
Gerwig made it clear that she had no intention of endorsing anyone during her speech, as she wanted to focus on her film and her team’s achievements.
This refusal further fueled Meghan Markle’s frustration, leading her to attempt to persuade Gerwig to change her mind.
The Duchess allegedly warned Gerwig about powerful enemies in the industry and implied that she could jeopardize Gerwig’s career if she crossed her.
Undeterred by Meghan Markle’s threats, Gerwig stood her ground and firmly told her to leave her alone.
Walking away from the meeting, Gerwig left Meghan Markle seething with anger and humiliation.
Witnesses reported that the Duchess, consumed by her emotions, threw a tantrum and even smashed a vase in her hotel room.
The anonymous source, who witnessed the encounter, decided to expose Meghan Markle’s scheme, aiming to reveal the true nature of the Duchess of Sussex.
Describing her as narcissistic, greedy, and manipulative, the source hopes that Gerwig’s potential win at the Oscars will provide an opportunity for her to expose Meghan Markle’s plot during her acceptance speech.
Moreover, the source claims to possess evidence of Meghan Markle’s bribery attempt, including a recording of the conversation and a copy of the check prepared for Gerwig.
They intend to release this evidence to the media in the near future.
As the Oscars Academy Awards 2024 ceremony approaches on Sunday, March 10, 2024, all eyes will be on Greta Gerwig, considered a frontrunner for the Best Director award, and Meghan Markle, who is expected to attend as a presenter.
It remains to be seen how these two women will interact and what consequences may arise if Gerwig emerges victorious.
