However, recent interactions between Tyler Perry and the Sussexes have been less frequent. Following Perry's acquisition of the BET Network, he has refrained from involving Meghan and Harry in any initiatives. Additionally, it appears that Gayle and Oprah have distanced themselves from the Sussexes. The decline in joint public appearances and Tyler Perry's recent silence on Meghan raise questions about the depth of their friendship, especially given his advocacy for the Black community.
In Hollywood's reciprocal culture, talent often garners respect. Meghan's acting prowess has been deemed unremarkable, and until recently, she displayed no apparent interest in writing, producing, or directing. On the contrary, Perry has faced criticism for subpar work and reliance on Black stereotypes. Allegedly, Tyler Perry declined to provide a private jet for Meghan and Harry's attendance at Katy Perry's concert, requiring WME to book one. This information was disclosed by a source on Lady C's platform.
According to the insider, Meghan Markle and Harry were taken back by the unexpected presence of paparazzi when they met on the tarmac. The entrance of the Sussexes was blamed for the paparazzi's curiosity. Reports suggest Meghan was not warmly received upon disembarking from her, hinting that celebrities may be hesitant to engage with her, fearing solicitation for favors.
Lady C also speculated that Meghan herself started a rumor, later refuted by Audible, suggesting that Audible was offering her a better deal than the Obamas. Such behavior reportedly complicates WME's efforts to manage her public image of her.
Amidst these events, Meghan Markle is accused of attempting to control the narrative and deflect negative coverage. However, a royal analyst suggests that Meghan's rumored plans, like working on a sequel to "The Bodyguard," may be efforts to counteract past rumors and disputes, such as her alleged disagreement with Katy Perry.
