Just when it seemed like things couldn’t get worse for Meghan Markle, reports have surfaced that her much-publicized $40 million contract with HBO has been terminated. According to sources, HBO has decided to sever ties with the Duchess of D-list, all thanks to the PR disaster her Netflix series *With Love, Meghan* turned into.

Apparently, Meghan’s HBO project—a workout series called *Motivated by Meghan*—was supposed to mark her big comeback, but, unsurprisingly, it quickly went off track. Meghan reportedly had the audacity to ask for a $60 million deal, up from the original $40 million, leading to a standoff with HBO executives. In an unexpected show of clarity, the network opted to pull the plug on the project.

But that’s not all—Meghan’s demands went beyond just her pay. She also had strong opinions about the casting of the series, despite the fact that few seemed to be clamoring for a *Motivated by Meghan* fitness guru to lead what was billed as the world’s most groundbreaking workout series. This only added to the tensions with the studio. According to insiders, Meghan’s behavior also didn’t win her any favors, with reports suggesting she had to be dealt with for diva-like demands and passive-aggressive outbursts. This might also explain why Netflix is now uncertain about renewing her contract.

 

So just like that, Meghan Markle’s transformation from media darling to a figure almost entirely shunned by major networks is complete. It seems that nobody is eager to pay a woman who’s been labeled both entitled and talentless. Perhaps Meghan thought HBO would be eager to sign her up for motivational content, but clearly, they weren’t.

Now, let’s turn our attention to Mike Zero, the YouTuber who has been spreading this theory about the canceled $40 million deal with HBO. Who exactly is Mike Zero? Well, he’s apparently a source of gossip in the entertainment world, although his credibility is widely questioned. If you’re wondering how trustworthy his claims are, just ask any *Star Wars* fan. His track record isn’t exactly stellar, which is probably as reliable as a Netflix show starring Meghan Markle. Despite his questionable credibility, some people are buying into these rumors, but don’t be deceived. The idea that HBO was seriously considering a $40 million deal with Meghan Markle seems far-fetched at best.

As these rumors continue to swirl, it’s becoming increasingly clear that Meghan Markle’s star has faded. When you see actors like Stanley Tucci getting acting roles, travel shows, and awards left and right, it’s hard to feel too sorry for Meghan, who’s been criticized for her sense of entitlement and questionable demands. If she’s lucky, perhaps she could land a gig as a self-care influencer. If things go really south, maybe she’ll write a memoir about the hardships of being a royal renegade.

 

As it stands, HBO has pulled the plug, Netflix is on the fence, and Meghan’s future in Hollywood looks pretty bleak.
