Megan Marle, the Duchess of Sussex, has launched her own Netflix cooking show, which has turned into a legal battle with actress Pamel Anderson.
The show, which was supposed to be a mix of cooking storytelling and female empowerment, has been criticized for its overly pretentious branding and decorative edible flowers that look like they belong in a museum rather than on a plate.
Pamela Anderson, a cultural icon and Hollywood icon, has taken a different approach to a cooking show, focusing on authenticity and charm.
While Megan’s show is praised for its authenticity and down-to-earth vibe, it misses the mark by a mile.
Mega Mel has been struggling to stay relevant since her royal exit from the Netflix deal, which was a total flop the Netflix documentary and a self-indulgent PR disaster. Now, she thinks a cooking show will save her reputation.
However, Megan is not exactly known for her culinary skills and is likely more focused on making sure the edible flowers on her plate match the PR aesthetic than actually cooking.
Pamela Anderson’s cooking show is simple, charming, and most importantly real, without relying on over-the-top branding or an artificial look at me relatable narrative.
She doesn’t rely on over-the-top branding and doesn’t shoot an artificial look at me relatable narrative down our throats.
Megan’s show may have been a rebranding attempt, as she has never tried to rebrand something as her own. If she did borrow elements from Pamela’s concept, she would be in for a rude awakening because she is not the type of person who would be able to create a successful cooking show.
