Captioned “the season of giving is almost here, and we have a few surprises in store,” the post showed Meghan stirring a pot over what appeared to be an unlit stove.
Critics were quick to notice the detail, and as usual, they wasted no time giving her grief over what they believed was a staged cooking moment.
Now, according to a new report, Meghan may be taking that frustration out on her team.
And well, I’m going to guess there won’t be any take-backs in this situation!
Before we get into the latest allegations, let’s remember that Prince Harry addressed complaints involving Meghan’s former UK staff in his memoir, Spare.
Rather than accepting the accusations of mistreatment, Harry described the pressures of working within an overstretched and understaffed team.
You’d think that after six years in Hollywood, where big dreams supposedly come true, someone would have noticed that the stove didn’t appear to be on in Meghan’s latest As Ever post.
But apparently not.
According to an unnamed insider quoted by Naughty But Nice, Meghan was furious over the reaction.
“She exploded,” the source claimed. “It was, ‘How did nobody catch this?’ Meghan expects her team to protect her from exactly this kind of ridicule.”
Of course, that’s the insider’s version of events, and there’s no independent confirmation that Meghan reacted this way.
The report also suggests Meghan may be having difficulty attracting experienced candidates as she looks to expand her UK team.
One source claimed that her reputation and reported staff turnover are discouraging potential applicants.
“Meghan can offer a glamorous title, but the best people aren’t biting,” the source alleged. “Her reputation gets there before the job offer does. People see the turnover and think, ‘Why would it be different for me?’”
If those claims are accurate, Meghan may have a bigger problem on her hands than an Instagram cooking video.
After all, a lifestyle brand depends on careful presentation, and social media audiences rarely miss an opportunity to point out something that looks staged.
Still, an apparently unlit stove doesn’t necessarily prove anything about how Meghan treats her employees.
For now, the allegations remain just that: allegations.
But one thing is certain. Meghan’s latest post has given her critics something else to talk about!
What do you think? Are critics making too much of Meghan’s cooking video, or should her team have caught the apparent mistake before posting it?
