Harry and Meghan: Spotify ends podcast deal with couple


Seems that $25m is too much for third rate podcast!

Yup!

I laughed out when I first read it. Those idiots from Spotify gave them so much money for no return and ratings at all. Because no one cares about those two idiots when they dont speak of Royal Family. And since Meghan didnt talk about it on her Spotify - no one listened to it.

Saw it coming a mile away. The bitch has nothing to offer except to talk about how "great" she is and to settle scores with the RF for kicking her out.

Did you hear that she didn't even talk directly to the women chosen for her interviews? Evidently she was too good to share the spotlight with anyone in those interviews (as well as being a difficult ass like usual in the recording studio), so they had someone else do the interviews, and then her solo speeches and the interviewees' words were edited together to make it look like she had worked with them directly, though the editing didn't quite work. People figured it out, the few brave enough to listen to her dribble.

Plus, there are blind items out there about what assholes she and Harry were to the lower level people working at Spotify. Spotify was particularly angry that they had Mr. and Mrs. Todger sign a multi-million-dollar contract, and the Dynamic Duo offered NOTHING for 2 solid years before someone finally called them and demanded they keep up their end of the bargain and offer some material. It almost feels like they scammed both Netflix and Spotify and pocketed the money to use for themselves instead of the projects they promised, and didn't get off their butts to do their part until threatened with lawyers.

Settled scores with the RF and with anyone else who “injured” her by telling the truth. Oy, her podcast was so bad. I couldn’t listen to her voice, so I read parts of some of the transcripts. What a cringefest.

Yeah, they definitely grifted netfux and horify. But those idiots kinda got what they deserved. And hopefully Liz Garbus is finally recognized as the hack she always was.

I honestly can't stand either of their voices. Hers is low, dull, and almost gravelly; his is like rocks grinding in the earth as well as whiny.

I heard that! 😂

I mean, *who* would listen to them??

You would have to pay me to listen to any of the drivel that comes out of Me-again's mouth.

Yikes. Thanks for posting the link. 👍🏼

I was really looking forward to her podcasts last year, but disappointed. They were OK, but for the most part dull. I was really interested about the royal family, but thought she would have really interesting topics.

Spotify wishes they had done a 3rd rate podcast. At least then they would have had some content to sell advertising for to recoup some of their money. Instead, all they got was 12 episodes over 3 years, and they had to add at least a dozen producers and extra staff at an additional cost.

Basically, they took the money, and did as little work as they possibly could, then cried about it when they were called out for it. It's no wonder Bill Simmons called them "grifters".

Taylor Swift rejected Meghan Markle’s invitation to appear on now-canceled podcast
https://pagesix.com/2023/06/25/taylor-swift-rejected-meghan-markles-podcast-invitation/

They are never, ever, ever getting together for a podcast.

Meghan Markle reportedly penned a personal note to Taylor Swift asking the pop star to be a guest on “Archetypes,” only to be shut down.

Swift, 33, rejected the invitation, according to the Wall Street Journal, and didn’t even bother responding herself — instead having a representative decline on her behalf in what could be seen as a diss to the Duchess of Sussex.


People say that Taylor doesnt even do those kind of interview and is very carefully to whom she speaks and when. But Meghan doesnt know that and thought that every big celebrity would be happy to jump on board because "H & M are like so famous and press talks about them all the time". Only to see that its not how it works.

They are officially toxic and every person associated with them would be ridiculed. Only has-beens like Serena Williams would agree to do that because Serena doesnt have tennis career anymore and no place to promote herself weekly. So she needs to show up anywhere to keep her name in press and for sponsors to pay money. But A-listers like Taylor dont need that.

Oprah really screwed up their mentality when she showed up with that interview. Because they bought that hype and decided that they are now Hollywood Royalty and A-listers will hang out with them and run to them at the bell. Only to see how Oprah used them for her own promotion and then ditched when there was nothing she could take anymore.

They actually believed they would be invited to Oscars, Met Galas, parties and stuff. And hang out with Jolie, Taylor, Selena, Maryl Streep, Anna Wintour and others. Only to see how they get invitations from D-list events with no big stars there. So they just sit at home most of the time.
