After the news that Spotify had ended their relationship with the Sussexes, British "experts", in an attempt to scare the British public into believing that Harry and Meghan are in serious financial trouble and that Brand Sussex has fallen apart, were gloomy and dreary. The British media only lasted a few days with that storyline before admitting that Harry and Meghan were fine and that they would continue to build their empire after Spotify. The British media has convinced itself that Meghan will bring back The TIG (she shouldn't, but they just want Meghan's content), and that Meghan's power is only going to increase now that she is signed with Ari Emmanuel of WME. The Mail published an exclusive that claimed "everyone in LA" is discussing how Meghan will recover from the Spotify fiasco. Everyone thinks that she is about to sign up as a Dior brand ambassador. Meghan should sign up for that, isn't that what I have been saying?
This rebranding is being done with the precision and rigor of a military operation. As soon as the news spread that Meghan Markle’s Spotify podcast was canceled amid accusations that Harry and the Duchess were 'grifters,' her Hollywood team went into battle. The Mail on Sunday reported that the mission to reinvent Meghan, led by charismatic talent agent Ari Emanuel of William Morris Endeavor, is well underway.
If the rumours circulating in LA are true then she could be close to signing a deal with French couture house Dior, making her the face of the company alongside global stars like Rihanna and Jennifer Lawrence.
Last night, a Beverly Hills socialite stated that 'Meghan' was the topic of conversation. There have been rumours that she is about to sign a Dior deal for weeks, which has sent the gossip mills into overdrive. If she can pull that off, no one will ever remember her silly podcast that was cancelled after a season.
A source at WME said, 'We were aware that the announcement of Spotify was imminent.' It might come as a surprise to others, but we have been working on the rebranding for Meghan since weeks. Ari is a master of corporate deals and making big money. He is excited to represent Meghan and has put all of his energy into the job. There have been a flood of offers, including those from other podcast platforms.
Eric Schiffer, a reputation crisis expert, says Team Meghan is going to use the drama in their favor. These guys were on war footing from the moment they heard about Spotify's announcement. Ari will have an elaborate tactical and strategic battle plan to connect her with sophisticated brands like Dior. This is a chance to distance Meghan's negative past. It is not by accident that Meghan didn't attend the Coronation or that she did not appear in London with Prince Harry recently when he appeared in court. Meghan is smart to distance herself and her toxic husband from the dramas. This woman is always moving forward. It's about building a brand that is global. Soon, some major deals will be announced.
Insiders who worked for Oprah Winfrey, who transformed a daytime show into a brand worth billions of dollars, said that Meghan could be worth hundreds of millions.
The Daily Mail
Was it just me, or did the Mail seem oddly complimentary? They got their jabs, but they missed the bigger point. Meghan is fine. She has a great team working for her at WME. Ari Emmanuel will get her many deals and brand ambassadorships. And the Sussexes are going to remain fabulously wealthy. Is a Dior Ambassadorship on the way? I hope so, truly. I've felt like that's what she should have been doing for a few years now, she should get some big-money brand-ambassadorships with tasteful ad campaigns. Dior is a great fit. Ralph Lauren would also be a good fit.
Meghan didn't avoid the UK due to her "brand"; she doesn't care about the people who have abused her. They're still trying to find a "reason", why Meghan didn’t come to the stupid Chubbly. She didn’t want to, so she stayed at home with her children, end of.
Update: All the eleventy-billion stories about "Meghan signing with Dior", or "No, Harry and Meghan both will sign Dior" is obviously a bunch of horsesh*t. The Sussexes denied the story. This means that the Mail does not have any industry sources or sources near Harry and Meghan. Shocking!
