Formerly close friends Meghan Markle and Jessica Mulroney appear to have drifted apart following an undisclosed rift. The two initially bonded while residing in Canada during Meghan’s time on the popular TV show Suits. Meghan had previously spoken highly of Jessica, but their relationship reportedly cooled after Jessica became embroiled in a controversy related to race.
The fallout occurred when influencer Sasha Exeter accused Jessica of reacting negatively to her posts about the Black Lives Matter movement and allegedly threatening her career in private messages in 2020. This incident led to the networks Jessica was associated with distancing themselves from her. Despite issuing a public apology, Jessica faced professional setbacks and a strained friendship with Meghan.
Notably, both Meghan and Jessica no longer follow each other on social media platforms. Jessica has not publicly shown support for Meghan’s new lifestyle brand, As Ever, or her Netflix show. Reports suggest that Jessica is hesitant to discuss their past friendship due to Meghan’s perceived influence and power.
There have been rumors that Jessica was offered a significant sum of money to write a tell-all memoir revealing details about her relationship breakdown with Meghan and insider secrets. However, Jessica’s team has denied any plans for a public discussion or a book on the matter.
Sources close to Jessica indicate that she is cautious about potentially upsetting Meghan, who still holds sway in their shared social circle in Canada. Observers believe Jessica may be waiting for the right time to address the situation, considering the potential consequences of speaking out against Meghan.
The once tight-knit bond between Meghan and Jessica was evident when Jessica’s twin sons served as pageboys at Meghan and Harry’s grand royal wedding in 2018, with her daughter also participating as a bridesmaid. Despite Jessica’s disavowal of a memoir, insiders suggest that she holds valuable information due to their past closeness.
