It’s been a rough couple of weeks for Meghan Markle.
An increasing number of reports are surfacing accusing her of bad behavior, particularly in work environments where she is accused of being a bully.
Meanwhile, the release of Meghan’s new Netflix series With Love, Meghan, which was supposed to be one of her comeback projects, was pushed back amidst the Los Angeles wildfires. Now, things have gotten even worse as her other comeback project, a new podcast, has just been delayed as well.
Meghan’s Podcast Delayed
In February of last year, Meghan signed a podcasting deal with Lemonada Media after Spotify decided not to renew her $20 million deal. They had no interest in doing a second season of her lackluster podcast “Archetypes.”
Meghan’s new podcast was supposed to debut at some point last year. However, she was forced to delay its release because Lemonada was reportedly “struggling to get off the starting blocks.” Insiders are saying that Meghan’s Lemonada podcast has now been delayed even further because of the Los Angeles wildfires.
It is known that Meghan will be hosting her new podcast herself. However, no further details about the podcast, like the theme or possible guests, have been released at this time.
Spotify Workers Slam Meghan
It hasn’t been an easy road. Indeed, her former coworkers at Spotify recently spoke out to blast her in a scathing Vanity Fair piece. One person who worked closely with Meghan at Spotify described the alleged experience with her as being “really, really, really awful” and “very painful.”
“Because she’s constantly playing checkers—I’m not even going to say chess—but she’s just very aware of where everybody is on her board,” the former coworker of Meghan’s explained. “And when you are not in, you are to be thrown to the wolves at any given moment.”
The ex-staffer described Meghan’s behavior as “undermining.”
“It’s talking behind your back. It’s gnawing at your sense of self,” they alleged. “Really, like, ‘Mean Girls’ teenager.”

American Orchard Riviera
These aren’t even the only issues that Meghan is facing these days. On top of everything else, there’s her lifestyle business venture American Riviera Orchard, which she announced in March of last year. Though it’s been ten months since this announcement, there is still no release date. In fact, there isn’t even any information about the products that American Riviera Orchard will be putting up for sale.
As she’s tried to get this company off the ground, Meghan has been hit with ongoing trademark troubles that have greatly slowed her down.
Back in September, Meghan’s trademark application was refused by the USPTO, who warned her that businesses cannot trademark geographical locations. The next month, the lifestyle brand Harry & David filed a legal protest against American Riviera Orchard. In it, Harry & David claimed that the name American Riviera Orchard is too similar to its “Royal Riviera” product line.

Are Meghan And Harry Divorcing?
It’s even possible that all of these stresses could be putting a strain on Meghan and Harry’s marriage. Vanity Fair claimed earlier this month that Meghan’s team has had a “conversation” with a major publishing house about her writing a “post-divorce” book, once her marriage to Harry is over.
“Not a general book on life after marital dissolution, or one about Meghan’s past experience,” Vanity Fair alleged. “(She was married to producer Trevor Engelson from 2011 to 2014.) this book—this notion of a book, really—might center on a post-Harry divorce. Not that there was actually one in the works! Just…if this a priori divorce ever came to be, would this publisher theoretically be interested in a book that took place in its aftermath?”
Vanity Fair then confirmed that “no offer was ever made, and no manuscript was produced.” However, if this allegation is true, it would certainly mean that Meghan and Harry’s marriage is in hot water at the very least.
The latest news about Meghan’s podcast will likely to little to help her marriage, should it already be strained by her other setbacks. Only time will tell if Meghan is able to bounce back with her Netflix series and podcast when they finally debut!
