Benjamin Franklin and The Sisterhood

[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.

    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. People that hated her feel redeemed, people that were on the fence about her are now firmly anti and people who are fans are either turning against her or so deluded, they are making excuses. Either way, she’s done. I hope the media will drag this out for as long as possible.

  4. thatonegirloverthere says

    Calling her an actress is being generous.

    Actress; MeGain Markle

    Optional: No she has no credibility. I think she gets her ass handed to her, she leaves Harry and Harry runs home (without his kid) with his dick between his legs.

  5. JudgeJudi says

    That awful Markle woman.
    She has zero credibility, and has an amazing talent for self-destruction.
    She’ll eventually withdraw her suit.

  8. Londonmum says

    Oh dear Harry. Run! Run! O wonder he’s looking like a deer caught in headlights lately. All about me Ms Markle again. For entertainment value, I’d love to see this go to trial. She’s a manipulative selfish self serving narcissist and I think the British public is already wise to this.

  10. itsjustanothergirl says

    Meghan Markle. She really needs to get herself and her hubs to Victoria Island, stay quiet for a long while, and work on repairing all the relationships she’s damaged, quietly and privately. Start with her husband and his family.

  13. 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.

  14. 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.

  15. Siboney says

    Plus I don’t think anyone really cares anymore. She would be lucky just to recoup some of her legal costs.

  16. hannahhkate says

    Meghan Markle.
    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.

  17. El Materdor says

    D-list Actress: Megan Merckle

    Is she a credible and sympathetic figure? Not a chance. More like a ticking time bomb.

    What do you think will happen? The sisterhood will be revealed by the end of this Mayhem.

  18. Jodone says

    This is definitely Megan Markel. She is really a fool and a has been actress. she most definitely is not credible nor sympathetic. Her friends will not stick by her especially that one from Toronto who she ghosts now. Why should they, she used them and they got to know it. Even Dim Witted Harry will figure out what her game is, if she keeps this up. The family in the UK and especially the palace insiders are merrily humming we told you so.

  21. pitbull says

    Obviously Meghan Markle.

    Overplayed her hand indeed. Her ego is bigger than her pocketbook. She is neither credible or worth of any sympathy. She is becoming the most disliked “royal” ever.

  22. Midwestgurl says

    The Grifter, Meghan and her lawsuit against her dad, the Mail on Sunday, and her friends who spoke to People.

    No, she’s not credible or sympathetic. She’s a D list actress who thought she could leapfrog to the top by marrying a prince.

  23. jerseymom says

    This is classic Meghan Markle. She is wearing on me greatly and I think her gig will be up soon. She’s not a nice person and really has caused an uproar in the Royal family. 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!

  25. VickyLou says

    Megan Markle.
    (good!)
    [Optional]
    Is she credible and sympathetic? No.
    What do you think will happen? Yes she’ll say she’ll drop it for her ‘friends’.
    She’s trying to play with fire. More fool her.

  26. carriebradshaw says

    Meghan Markle, – her lawyers claimed today revealing the identity of her friends, all young mothers, would be cruel.

    I really, really hope this will end in court, though even now more and more people think she’s a liar.

  27. ILikeSleep21 says

    Meghan 🙄
    I just read where she said she didn’t know her friends were going to People magazine with a copy of the letter. Oh ok.

  29. badgerette85 says

    Oh Meghan (Markle)… how I would love to see all your manipulation of people and events just blow up in your face!

  31. lizzieloulou says

    Meghan Markle
    She’s losing whatever she had left of public sympathy. And she’s forgotten the golden rule of media: Never pick a fight with a man who buys ink by the barrel.

  32. fixxin2 says

    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.

  33. 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.

  34. 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.

  35. 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.

  36. boyjack4 says

    Oh it’s Meghan Markle again
    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

  39. 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

  40. 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.

  41. zappy2050 says

    Meghan.

    She has made sooooooooo many mistakes.

    Fighting with her family.

    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.

  42. High Steppa says

    Meghan, the Duchess of Despair. This will not end well for her; just as many of her other schemes have not. She fancies herself so clever. She’s being showed as a conniving fool.

  43. none4methx says

    Markle.

    No, she is 100% the worst thing to happen to the BRF, just like her family warned.

  47. Random Nonsense says

    Meghan Markle

    No – if she doesn’t drop the case soon, the media company will demand a trial date be set and if she doesn’t dismiss it then, she’s finished.

  51. caela94 says

    Meghan Markle
    I think she just lost the first round. Has to pay 67000 pounds
    Her friends are described as young mothers. They all are pushing 40.
    She thought she could change the BRF. No way

  54. Kricket1 says

    Obviously this is Megan Markle…with her insatiable need to be in the news daily……its all a lot of PR moves on her part but now she will pay a high price to keep herself and her friends out of the press.

    All its doing for her is making her more and more disliked by everyone.

  55. felixia says

    We all know who this is. People will want to hear everything and root for a trial, but she is sleek and will come up with a sob story soon enough.

  56. kazzuri says

    Haha grabby old markle. Shes more entertaining now than she ever was on suits. Won’t she have to pay all the legal costs if she decides to withdraw?

  58. queenpin says

    Actress: the delusional Meaghan Markle
    Neither credible nor sympathetic
    What will happen: She will have to pay the media company’s court costs.
    What else will happen: She will try to snare the father of the Beckham kid’s fiancée

  60. obsidianeyes says

    Actress: The Duchess of Sussex
    Optional: Shes not credible or sympathetic and I hate to say it for Archie’s sake but I hope she goes down and the RF closes ranks … hell at this point I’d even settle for a last minute stunt like what happened at the Paul Burrell trial years ago. Just end this mess once and for all.

  64. chica1984 says

    Markle

    I’m so over her and her fakeness. She has literally ruined a family, made Americans look awful, and become more annoying than the Kartrashians. Go. Away.

  65. 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.

  67. 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….

  68. 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..

  69. 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.

  70. 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.

  71. 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.

  72. 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.

  73. 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.

  74. 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.

  76. metchac says

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

  77. VegetableLasagna says

    Meghan Markle

    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.

  79. 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 “

  80. ProfessorPep11 says

    Meghan Markle

    She is not remotely sympathetic and I hope the media sources drag this out and she publicly suffers

  82. 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…

  83. ashley084 says

    Meghan Markle. She will settle of course. She is not credible, nor sympathetic. That ship sailed long ago.

  84. 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…

  85. listenToWhatI says

    Meg
    She has proven quite a natural talent for deceit so I suppose she’s not such a bad actress after all.

  86. 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.

  87. 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.

  88. 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.

  91. sally.61 says

    Meghan Markle
    She is not credible or sympathetic .
    What a joke !
    Turning royal family in reality show.
    So sad.

  92. 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.

  93. travoltasbeard says

    OMG
    markle!
    how dare she! this is horrible. how can harry not see this! markle is bringing down the good name and amazing reputation of the queen (who was chosen by god!) and her wonderful, nice, wholesome family!

  95. 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…

  96. 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

  97. Trongasaur says

    This is, of course, the Markle…

    Optional: She is neither credible nor a sympathetic figure. This won’t go her way. Daily Mail are loving the attention that comes with this case, and things certainly seem to be going in DM’s favour…

  99. Marszew says

    Megan Markle
    She is not a credible or sympathetic, she is manipulativ as her mother in law was.
    She will drop the case, hope the media not.

  100. purplefluffybunny says

    Meghan

    No she isn’t – I’d love this to go to trial!! Though it would be almost as good to see her have to back down….
