[Blind Gossip] There is an old expression about secrets.
In the July 1735 issue of Poor Richard’s Almanac, Benjamin Franklin said, “Three may keep a secret if two of them are dead.”
This TV actress is learning this the hard way.
Her attempt to secretly promote herself has completely backfired and has devolved into a legal morass from which there is almost no escape.
We have a couple of interesting things to share with you about the case.
The first is that the defendants are not behaving the way she thought they would!
She is quite shocked that this is not going the way she thought it would. She thought that she was being smart to court one media source and attack the other. She was 100% sure that the [the second media source] would be intimidated and back down and settle with her. That didn’t happen.
No, it certainly did not. In fact, the second media source is enjoying the attention this case brings and is reaping the rewards of publishing multiple articles about her every day.
There is little to no incentive for them to back down.
This stopped being about the original legal claim a long time ago. This is now a referendum on HER behavior. If anything, a trial would stretch this out and be a real coup for the media company.
Another shock to her is the impact this is having on several of her friends!
It was dumb for her to involve so many people and it was really dumb for her to deny her involvement. It is clear that she is in charge of the group and that they all take their marching orders from her. There are too many emails, texts, phone conversations and video chats to coordinate the messaging for her to pretend that she had nothing to do with it.
Will all of her friends act in unison to protect her?
Not a chance. The sisterhood is breaking. Each of the friends has now had to hire and pay for their own attorney. Most of them are not celebrities themselves so this is very stressful for them. At least one attorney advised their client to temporarily cut off contact with the plaintiff until the case is resolved.
Will she protect her friends?
She may be able to protect their identity, but only if this does not go to trial. If this goes to trial, she can’t protect them. They are likely key witnesses and will certainly be deposed and exposed.
What will the friends do?
Look, this isn’t the Mafia. This is a bunch of women who were unwittingly involved in a public relations effort gone awry. There is no attorney on earth who would advise them to perjure themselves for [Actress] on such a ridiculous matter. They will not all lie for her.
What’s the big deal if they tell the truth?
The big deal is that it will uncover the plaintiff’s big lie. She claims that she had no involvement in them contacting the media or in the messaging. She can’t afford to have that lie exposed. The public would turn on her.
That ship may have already sailed.
An additional and potentially bigger consideration is that once the friends are on the stand, other secrets and lies about her life and how she manipulates the press could be rooted out.
What is your overall opinion about how Actress has handled this?
She entered into this thinking that she was a credible and sympathetic figure and that she could walk away with a couple of million and the media firmly under her control.
These were all serious miscalculations. She overplayed her hand and this will not end well for her.
What will happen?
This will NOT go to trial.
She might try to get some small sort of settlement from the media company to cover her costs and to pretend she got a win, but the media company would actually be better off dragging this out as long as possible.
Very high probability that she will drop the case and walk away with nothing but a stack of legal bills.
How will she spin it?
She will likely try to make herself look good by claiming that she is dropping the case to protect her friends… but it’s really to protect herself.

Babakazoo says
The despicable Megan Markle
The ridiculous lawsuit about her fathers letter being published… and now she is trying to sue a photographer over photos or Archie taken in their back yard (that’s if they can find out who the photographer is),
Also with that upcoming book with details ‘leaked’ about how terrible her time in the Royal Family has been (she claims that her & Harry had nothing to do with 🙄🙄🙄) , the Royal Family will likely cut all ties with her and cut Harry’s bankroll from…
teadown says
Obviously Meghan Markle and her lawsuit against the Daily Mail.
The sad thing about all this is that the Royal Family cautioned her and Harry not to sue tabloids for this precise reason. The tabloids have malpractice insurance for this, and just reporting on the lawsuit as it progresses almost helps recoup any legal costs. This wasn’t a high stakes issue (not nude photos, not pictures of her kid, not outright slander), so no matter how it ends, the Daily Mail wins.
slgoodman says
It’s M. Markle. Her behavior is self-serving and destructive. I’m wondering if Prince Harry has already decided to leave; he’d obviously have his family’s support. The difficulty would be his ability to take Archie and return to England; Meghan would lose her meal ticket.
gurutas says
Obviously Megan Markle nee’ Windsor who is becoming an absolute bore. I just keep thinking Poor Archie.
swoot10 says
Markle.
So mad. I really rooted for this couple in the beginning. I saw the red flags (ex. Vanity Fair interview, engagement interview) and still rooted for them. It took until they cried about privacy and then chose to go to the Lion King premier over a military ceremony for me to realize it. The final straw was when they went to Africa and droned about their sorrows living as royalty that I was completely done. So transparent, disappointing, and selfish. They had potential and wasted it.
louiseyeahhh says
How gloriously ironic would it be for someone who found their start on suits to find the end of their public “career” because of a lawsuit!? Sadly, that’s probably asking too much. I bet Harry begs the brf to help persuade the publication into settling just to save mm’s manipulative face.
kjc520 says
* Markle
Go away already. Take the privacy you claim you want. Narcissist.
laura1083 says
The greedy and delusional Meghan Markle.
I hope the Daily Mail stretch this out and expose her for what she is.
DDCASK says
Megan Markle again.
I think the press can be a law unto themselves and the publication she has taken on are known for their hatchet jobs. However, given her double standards I don’t think there’s a lot of support out there for her.
Had she still been attached to the Royal Family as such, the media publication might have done a deal out of respect for the Queen, but she’s on her own and they might have stuff on her. Think she’ll blink first.

Deeva E says
Megan Markle
She’s in over her head. She gambled and the media is calling her bluff. The best thing she can do is drop the case and put out some BS statement on how she decided to be the bigger person and walk away from the case. Otherwise she’s going down and will lose whatever little public support she has left.
rhiannon14 says
Actress: Meghan Markle
Is she a credible and sympathetic figure? I personally don’t think so, but she still has a faithful following who think she can do no wrong.
What do you think will happen? She’ll drop the case. I would like to see Charles stop paying their way. With all these legal bills, their “independence” is becoming very expensive. Her entitlement and misjudgement is emptying their pocket books, not filling them.
TannKell says
Meghan Markle
No, she’s a malignant narcissist and most likely is a sociopath, dangerous combination.

Markle
Abstermcdaddyo says
This is meghan markle
She’s just a self-obsessed narcissist, she’s landed a nice-but-dim rich and famous husband but her plans to manipulate that to make herself an international superstar in whatever format she could are quickly unravelling. If she’d done some of her plans gradually and without sticking two fingers up at the Royals it would have worked out much better – become respected and well thought of first before making the big jump gestures.
lila8245 says
Markle, with her all of her ridiculous lawsuits.
I don’t feel sorry for her. She’s such a joke at this point. She’s never going to be Queen, not on a throne and not in the public eye either. Her time has come and gone. She should find something else to do with her life aside from being litigious, and constantly trying to be in the spotlight. She has a son, and should focus on him instead of herself.

She is a horrible manipulative person who has no credibility nor does she come across as sympathetic. I think she will drop the case but she will not learn her lesson she will continue to sue because she is a legend in her own mind.

ppfxxx says
Meghan has messed up big time she has just lost round one of the case and had to pay the papers costs. If it goes to court the paper can drag up all kinds of stuff that maybe they couldn’t have published normally but could now report as legitimate coverage of the case
ChattyCathie says
Actress Meghan Markle of course.
Credible and sympathetic?
Hell no! She lies as easily as she breathes and I have no sympathy for her.
She created this situation in a bid for sympathy and more publicity, but she underestimated her opponent.
It was a stupid move from the start: She isn’t as smart as she thinks she is and will soon wind up bankrupt and humiliated, because TMOS is milking this for all it’s worth. People are already fed up with her. Now they’ll see how big a phony she really…
deepsigh says
Meghan Markle. The permanent victim.
toronto says
Meghan Markle.
I’m a lawyer. No, she is not sympathetic, in my opinion. I think she will settle out of court, if she heeds the advice of her learned attorneys. Knowing her, she will fight it to the end to her own detriment. But, honestly, who cares? That’s her problem.

zondie says
Meghan Markle is neither credible or sympathetic. For one thing, it was obvious to anyone with eyes that she was never pregnant (pregnant bellies do not fluctuate in size). She initiated this mean-spirited scheme with People magazine to set up her father and make him look bad, and to glean sympathy from the public.
She will drop the case and skip out on the legal bills.
radmom says
Meaghan Markle. She’s right to be concerned. Now that she’s cut Jessica Mulroney loose like driftwood, the other members of the group know not to expect loyalty from her, because she doesn’t give loyalty. Quid pro quo, Clarice.
Sweetpea says
Messy Megan Markle. Her over inflated sense of self will be her downfall. Harry needs to scoop up Archie and head back to England.

She has proven quite a natural talent for deceit so I suppose she’s not such a bad actress after all.
ILUVCA4evr says
The Countess of Catastrophe-Megan Markle
Credible/sympathetic? In her own mind she is. I’ll answer this fully after I stop laughing.
What will happen? The friends names will ‘accidentally’ be let out to the public & all heck will break loose. It’s already happened in court with one name & the judge ordered it not be released. She is just conceited enough to keep going & it won’t end pretty. Of course, she will blame it all on racism. Meanwhile, H looks longingly towards England…
ashley084 says
Meghan Markle. She will settle of course. She is not credible, nor sympathetic. That ship sailed long ago.
limiso says
Meghan Markle and her “sisterhood” of fellow gold diggers who are about to turn on each other to try and salvage what they can of their situation.
Is she credible and sympathetic? Well that’s a resounding NO and NO! The curtain has dropped on her disaster of a plan and she lacks the acting skills to garner sympathy. We all can see where this train wreck is heading and the divorce will be a spectacular entertaining reprieve. Harry is already being set up to take the fall and blame for…
BasilBong says
Amber Heard. And no, she is not credible.
ProfessorPep11 says

She is not remotely sympathetic and I hope the media sources drag this out and she publicly suffers
Suzy Kew says
Meghan ( Me Gain) Markle
She’s neither credible nor sympathetic . She’s a manipulative , compulsive liar. I think that most people are on to her scheming ways at this point and her current plan to manipulate the public and the press will fail royally. Oh wait…she will fail, but without being able to use the term “ royally “
Tinycat says
Got to be Meagan Markle.
VegetableLasagna says

She is one of the biggest liars and manipulators on this planet. I hope this gets dragged out as long as possible and that her friends (for now) make her pay their legal bills.
This is getting good. She deserves to go down.

M Markle. I really hope she gets exposed. The Palace won’t be there to protect her.

It’s gotta be markle. She’s such a sleaze.
amagod121 says
Meghan (the Duchess of) Markle.
She did seem credible, on the face of things, yes, at least at the beginning of this mess Sympathetic? Maybe to some but I don’t really think so as she either overacts or else smirks in a very unpleasant manner.
Ramblingirl says
Meghan, Duchess of Sussex
No, she is no longer credible. That ship sailed a long time ago and only those truly loyal to her will see her with rose colored glasses.
I’m curious how long it will take Harry to See the light. Maybe never as his mother was a manipulator and that’s how he grew up, so it may be his normal.
catlove2 says
Meghan Markle . She is already playing the ” well being card” by stating the 5 friends are all moms and must be protected. The only one who wants protection is her.
Baileygirl says
Meghan Markle.
She is neither credible nor sympathetic.
The newspaper will drag this out to depose her friends and increase Meghan’s legal bills. The paper will print all of the factual information on the case and no matter how she tries to spin it, she will be seen as the loser.
parkland45 says
Markle. I’m so sick of that tiresome woman & if I’m sick of her, I can’t even imagine how her royal in-laws feel.
WhatNowDems says
Meghan Markle.
I do not think she is either credible or a sympathetic figure. She lies with ease, and to anyone with any degree of intuition, it’s easy to see that she’s a schemer.
I think she will try to drop the case, and even pay off the Mail on Sunday’s attorneys, but I believe they won’t allow it, or they may even countersue her.
Fifi53 says
But she can’t drop it alone.. UK law requires both the plaintiff and the defendant to agree to drop or settle, or it goes to trial..
Gerseychick says
Megan Markle a total fraudster…I hope the Judge makes all her frivolous lawsuits public….Than the World will see the true con artist Prince Harry married….
truebritt8 says

She’s exhausting.
Riley831 says
Meghan
She definitely got People magazine in her pocket. It’s sickening how they are attacking Kate now and how the Royal family wasn’t supportive.
Meghan is burning every bridge. Hollywood was only fake to get invited to the wedding. Once she left the RF, Hollywood has been backing away from her.

Fighting with her father (who raised her by himself from she was 13 years old until she went off to college)
Fighting with the media.
Fighting with the Royal family.
Fighting with the men in grey suits.
TeacherKat says
Meghan Markel.
Optional: Nope! I have never seen someone stand in their on way quite as spectacularly as these two. Even their book by Omid is making them seem petulant, and it is only pointing out that the gossip surrounding them was true! She will drop the case to “protect her friends privacy.” She already lost part of the case and has “agreed” to pay like $80,000. I bet there are many tantrums in the Perry home tonight.
Teressa S says
Meghan Markle.
She’s going to lose her husband over this – especially because he has beloved every lie she has said regarding this case . He actually believed her when she told him she has nothing to do with the leaks to the press. At least 2 of the friends have been told by their husbands to CUT THE USER OFF ;D

She’s digging herself a huge hole as her lies and shenanigans are all being exposed. She’s been very obvious from the beginning. Poor friends who got suckered in.
Not too sorry for Harry as he’s been very ill advised and very petty about everything and not hesitated to hurt his grandmother or father. Not to mention his brother
Piwakawaka says
Actress: Meghan Markle.
Is she a credible and sympathetic figure? Good Lord, no. She’s as credible as Machiavelli himself.
What do you think will happen?
The Daily Mail group will drag this out as much as possible, and good on them. Meghan has shown complete ignorance about its ties to the British establishment and the role it plays in wider British society; she doesn’t understand the paper’s history at all, or she would never had taken them on. She’s an obnoxious fool.
CSDNYC says
Narcissistic sociopath MEagain Markle. She’ll definitely withdraw her suit so “A, B, C, D and E” won’t have to take the stand, cuz no way her fake pregnancy & other underhandled doings, won’t come out if her “friends” are questioned under oath.
pewter says
This is MM. No she is not credible, nor is she a sympathetic figure. I hate that PC will end up paying for her folly. These 2 have no $ of their own. They don’t even pay rent. I wish the royal family would take away their titles and be done with them. She is purely jealous of Kate, wants what she can’t have, and now it’s Karma time. I’m stocked up on the popcorn.

Gotta be Meghan Markle. Her lawsuits against the UK tabs are tanking. The “5 mysterious friends” are bolting. Her career is over. And her marriage is doomed.

As with any narcissist, they get found out eventually. As I’ve stated before, I feel bad for Harry and Archie. I hope big brother will be there when the * hits the fan, because it will, soon.
Now what I’d like to know is how BG gets all this juicy Royal inside info – good stuff!
Midwestgurl says

She is as far as possible from being either credible or sympathetic. I think they’ll settle out of court to keep it from going to trial (she may have to make concessions to convince the other side to agree), but I really hope that the defendant refuses to settle and forces her to go to trial.
Siboney says
Plus I don’t think anyone really cares anymore. She would be lucky just to recoup some of her legal costs.
Pinkieswear says
Markle. Yet again.
She’s not sympathetic or credible. She’s a grifter who thought she could manipulate the world, and now she’s realizing that a dimwit of an ex-prince is more of a booby prize than the golden ticket she was trying to wave in everyone’s faces.
Siboney says
Meghan suing the british papers for making a letter to her Father public. She should drop the case . Hopefully she would cover friends legal costs. Maybe she is getting bad legal advice but this is making things worse.

This is 100% Meghan Markle. Her facade is dropping and her world is crumbling down and I’m here for it!
She is absolutely not a credible figure, people have caught on to her scam.

Either way, she’s done. I hope the media will drag this out for as long as possible.
