The Duke and Duchess of Sussex surprised onlookers with a joint appearance at the premiere of Bob Marley: One Love in Jamaica on Tuesday, Jan 23. While mingling with renowned singers and Hollywood stars, their photo-op with Paramount CEO Brian Robbins and his wife Tracy James drew attention.
In a widely circulated video clip, Harry and Meghan were seen engaging with the Hollywood couple. Speculation arose that this encounter might signify a plea for support, as the couple's standing in Hollywood reportedly diminishes each passing month.
Critics, including the Royal News Network on X (formerly Twitter), expressed skepticism. One post stated, "This appears to be a publicity stunt, Meghan. Securing a deal with Paramount seems unlikely. Their streaming service isn't profitable, and they won't entertain your exorbitant fees for subpar work."
Another commentator taunted, "Meghan Markle still photobombing execs in desperation to secure work."
A third issued a warning, stating, "The Color Purple premiere was a genuine who's who of Black Hollywood, and M&H showed no interest. Yet, the CEO of Paramount and his new wife are waiting to be honored. Sorry, Megs, but the era of [money bag emoji] media contracts seems to be over."
