In an explosive turn of events, Meghan Markle’s latest podcast, “Confessions of a Female Founder,” has been ruthlessly dismantled by Hollywood heavyweight Tom Cruise during a viral segment on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.” What was intended as a triumphant return to the media spotlight for the Duchess has quickly spiraled into a humiliating PR disaster, leaving Markle reportedly fuming behind closed doors.
Cruise, promoting his own project, couldn’t resist the opportunity to mock Markle’s self-absorbed storytelling and cringe-worthy content. “I tried listening to ‘Confessions of a Female Founder,’ but I had to pull the eject lever faster than in Top Gun,” he quipped, eliciting uproarious laughter from the audience. His comedic jabs struck a nerve, revealing the broader truth about Markle’s media persona — overly dramatic and out of touch.
Critics have not held back either. Reviews have labeled the podcast as “stomach turning” and “psychopathic,” with many pointing out its lack of genuine insight and heavy reliance on Markle’s personal grievances. Despite a multi-million dollar promotional push, the podcast has failed to penetrate the charts, languishing below expectations even in Markle’s native UK and Canada.
Hollywood’s disdain for Markle’s brand is becoming palpable, as industry insiders and feminist icons distance themselves from her. Once seen as a beacon of modern feminism, Markle’s narrative is crumbling under the weight of scrutiny. The fallout from Cruise’s ruthless takedown is reverberating through the industry, marking a significant cultural rejection of Markle’s curated victimhood.
As her allies dwindle and her projects falter, the question looms: has Meghan Markle’s relevance in Hollywood come to a crashing halt? With her public image tarnished and a growing chorus of critics, Markle’s attempts to redefine herself as a media mogul are rapidly deteriorating, leaving her isolated and increasingly irrelevant. The royal exit saga is far from over, but the public’s patience is wearing thin.
