SOLVED!
[Blind Gossip] We have a little lesson for you today in nature and the art of survival!
A few years ago, a Canadian photographer named Lisa Bell captured a remarkable series of photos of an American Bald Eagle and a Canadian Goose.
While not natural enemies, the eagle felt compelled to attack the goose.
After a brief fight, the eagle prevailed and stood victoriously on the back of the prone goose.
When the eagle flew away, though, something really interesting happened. The goose also got up and flew away!
The goose had basically feigned defeat in order to live.
That little story reminds us of two famous women who have been close friends for years.
Eagle, an American, has done a bit of TV, but she became much more famous when she married into a famous family.
Goose, a Canadian, has also done a bit of TV, and she also became much more famous when she married into a famous family.
Eagle has been experiencing a lot of drama over the past couple of years, mostly of her own making.
Through all the criticism and public scrutiny, Goose stayed by her side. What a loyal friend! The additional publicity it brought Goose and her business didn’t hurt either.
Lately, Goose has come under public attack.
Did Eagle stand by her friend, defend her against media attacks, and display the kind of fierce loyalty that bind close friends together?
Nah.
She basically attacked Goose… and then stood on her back in a fit of moral superiority!
Eagle did this to ensure her own survival.
Nature is a cruel mistress.
However, we are going to tell you not to take all of this posturing too seriously.
Why not?
Well, because Eagle actually needs Goose.
First of all, Eagle has a legal battle to fight… and Goose is supposed to be a key ally in that fight.
Second of all, Eagle doesn’t have that many real friends. Sure, there are lots of peripheral people. However, those ranks are rather thin and those friendships are rather shallow. Real friends are hard to find.
Did Eagle really dump Goose?
The public reports that [Eagle] has cut off [Goose] are completely and totally false. They still talk and text every day, as they have for years.
So when you hear that Eagle has been distancing herself from Goose for a while – and that Eagle will no longer associate herself with Goose – take it all with a grain of salt.
It’s just Eagle’s team at work, trying to ensure her survival by pretending that she is superior to Goose.
Goose will simply have to accept her inferior position and prostrate herself on the ground for a while.

Eagle: Meghan Markle
Goose: Jessica Mulroney
Did you believe the months of public reports that Meghan Markle had ghosted her BFF, Jessica Mulroney?
Your friends at Blind Gossip told you that wasn’t true… and Jessica Mulroney herself is now backing us up!
Let’s go back to the beginning.
Meghan Markle has been best friends with Canadian stylist Jessica Mulroney for many years.
Jessica Mulroney is married to Ben Mulroney, the son of former Canadian Prime Minister, Brian Mulroney.
Jessica and Ben Mulroney have three beautiful children together.
Markle and Mulroney were so close that Mulroney that Mulroney’s three children were included in Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s bridal party in 2018.
Hey, check out that boy on the far right. Is that Maculey Culkin from Home Alone?
No, it’s one of Jessica Mulroney’s kids.
Anyway, it’s a sweet photo that harkens back to a time when Markle and Mulroney were Best Friends Forever!
Well… that is until Mulroney did something that Markle felt reflected poorly on her.
Remember back in June 2020 when Jessica Mulroney was involved in a “racist” encounter with a social media user?
From The New Zealand Herald:
Meghan Markle ‘mortified’ over Jessica Mulroney racism scandal
Meghan Markle is reportedly “absolutely mortified” by her best friend Jessica Mulroney’s racism scandal and is now cutting ties with her.
The Duchess of Sussex reacted with shock after hearing of the Canadian stylist’s “tone-deaf” threats to sue black lifestyle blogger Sasha Exeter over an argument about white privilege, and has decided she can “no longer be associated with her”.
“Meghan is absolutely mortified that she’s been dragged into this complete mess. She said Jessica is in no way a racist, but the way she handled the situation was tone-deaf and heartbreaking,”
Markle initially said that she didn’t believe that her friend was a racist.
However, a tidal wave of condemnation forced Markle to back off from publicly supporting Mulroney.
So Markle changed the narrative.
Markle publicly “dumped” Mulroney!
Ouch.
From OK Magazine:
Vanished From Their Lives
Meghan Markle dumped Jessica Mulroney after she became embroiled in a Black Lives Matter scandal — but she has also abandoned her long-time best friend’s twins who were once like her own, OK! has exclusively learned.
Insiders have told OK! that Markle, 39, is no longer in touch with anyone in the Mulroney household, including Mulroney’s 10-year-old twin boys.
[Mulroney] is distraught that Markle is no longer close with her kids. “Jessica helped Meghan plan her wedding, plan her baby shower, she even babysit for little Archie when he was in Canada, and now Meghan doesn’t even send a birthday card to her kids, is just wrong,” the source explained.
Notice how the public narrative quickly changed from Markle defending Mulroney to Markle ghosting Mulroney.
Meghan Markle felt compelled to save her own skin. After all, it would be the height of hypocrisy for Woke Markle to be friends with a racist! So her PR team repeatedly told reporters that the two women were no longer friends.
However, your friends at Blind Gossip told you that was a lie!
The public reports that [Eagle] has cut off [Goose] are completely and totally false. They still talk and text every day, as they have for years.
We were correct.
It would take five long months before the truth came out, but it’s here now.
And it comes with a sobering revelation.
From The New York Post:
Meghan Markle’s pal Jessica Mulroney was ‘su*cidal’ after racism claims: insider
“Jess couldn’t talk without crying. She didn’t feel like herself on the meds and she didn’t want to talk to anyone. She could barely respond to a text message.”
“… the anxiety turned into severe depression and su*cidal thoughts.”
Her husband, Ben, who quit his job as a TV presenter, told a pal: “I would wake up and Jess wouldn’t be in bed, and my mind would go to the worst.”
Asked if Markle had been in touch, Mulroney replied: “She constantly Facetimes and checks up on me.”
Just as we told you, Markle didn’t actually ghost Mulroney. The women have actually been in constant contact!
Now, Mulroney is tapering her meds, friends said, and focusing on charity work.
“I know I have a charmed life,” Mulroney said. “I have to learn from all of this — but I am not racist. I just want to try to move on from this.”
It’s good that Mulroney is doing better.
Perhaps the women can even be public friends again someday.
Mulroney has loyally stood by Markle every time someone has publicly criticized Markle.
And you just know that Mulroney is one of the key friends supporting Markle in Markle’s current lawsuit involving Markle’s letter to her father.
So you have to wonder if much of Mulroney’s stress during the past few months comes from Markle’s public shunning of Mulroney as a friend.
Meghan Markle is one of the most famous women in the world. Even if she was supportive of Mulroney in private, Markle’s public condemnation and distancing from Mulroney had to have been severely painful for Mulroney.
You can decide for yourself if what Markle did was right.
Let’s go back to original blind item.
The Eagle/Goose story was more than just a fable echoing the Markle/Mulroney friendship. It also provided you with a significant clue!
In 1782, the Founding Fathers of The United States of America chose the bald eagle as our national emblem.
The Canada goose, while not the official bird of Canada, has long been a part of Canada’s national identity.
So Eagle = American (Markle) and Goose = Canadian (Mulroney).
Congratulations to B
for being first with the correct response!
CleverScreenName says
Markle and Mulroney, though everyone got it already.
I would’ve thought MM could have used the opportunity to educate her friend, if their friendship was so strong. You can cancel people publicly, but they don’t actually disappear. If the BLM movement is going to make lasting change, we need to change the hearts of our family, friends, neighbors and coworkers. I think MM missed the opportunity to do that (publicly at least) and instead threw her under the bus. Narcissists stick together though…
montrealaise says
If Jessica is one of the five friends who gave an interview to People, Meghan really needs her to back up her story that JM gave the interview without her knowledge or permission, i.e. to lie for her on the stand. My guess is that MM will dump her right afterwards since she won’t need her any more, and what is JM doing to do – admit that she perjured herself in court? If JM tells the truth, MM will not only lose the lawsuit but also what little reputation she has left.
august2019 says
I think it’s a short term win for MM, but a loss in the long term. As the blind says, she needs Jess for her lawsuit and the tides can easily turn. I think there will me more negative leaks about MM in the future.
Jenn123 says
Meghan and Jessica.
Opinion: I’m sure she deserves a lot of the criticism she gets, but this was a lose/lose situation for Meghan. The alternate headlines read: “Meghan ditches loyal friend over unproven accusations” or “Meghan abandons roots and sticks up for racist friend”. She might not actually know exactly what Jessica did and how much is true, so the halfway response might be appropriate…

If this isn’t Meghan Markle and Jessica Mulroney, the Canadian Goose!
BG, I was hoping for some insight from you about this situation – thanks for delivering. It’s a rotten situation – if Meghan doesn’t publicly support Jessica, she comes off as a crappy friend, if she does, it might undermine her status as a BLM advocate. Either way, some damage to her reputation is hard to avoid.
Did Meghan do the right thing? Hmm. Probably yes, outraged woke people seem disturbingly influential these…
lilyolivia84 says
Eagle: Meghan Markle
Goose: Jessica Mulroney
No, Meghan is a horrible friend and should stand behind Jessica – but of course, she won’t. She is far too selfish to think of anyone but herself. I personally hope Jessica gets called to the stand during Meghan’s trial and refuses to purged herself. Now that would make headlines.
aaaMaryg says
* and Jessica Mulroney .
Yes, * publicly cut ties with Mulroney after she was called out for threatening a black influencer and lost all her tv gigs.
Mulroney is a key witness in the DailyMail lawsuit and one of the 5 that “leaked” the letter.
We’ll see, but if I were Mulroney, I’d actually go to court under pretense of being on the * side and then flip on her.

As usual, MM’s actions are not motivated by morals, but rather by a threat to her relentless (and spectacularly unsuccessful) self promotion. Could she please just go away? And feel free to take Just Harry as well.

Optional – you are supposed to stick by your friends through thick or thin, but considering Meghan’s is mixed race and Jessica has been accused of racism and both are in the public eye, I can see why it might be difficult. Meghan doesn’t have a lot of friends so I think when the dust has settled there will be a “reconciliation”.

Still wonder if she will take this risk and lie in the court for Markle. Jessica has whole lot to loose in case DM has some kind of evidence this was orchestrated. And now she has an oportunity to cut the ties with Markle and do what is better for her and her family.
Meg prooved, her ideas are mostly stupid, but she still thinks she’s smarter than anyone else, and she is unbelievably tonedeaf. I think distancing herself from Jessica was bad idea.

Did Meghan do the right thing? Consider the circumstances, I don’t think she had much choice but to publicly oppose what Jessica did. And honestly, what Jessica did was incredibly stupid (probably all that entitlement blinded her).
rhiannon14 says
Just to add to what I said above. If this ends their friendship, then it just proves that public opinion and image are more important to Meghan than their friendship. People talk about Jessica using Meghan to boost her career. But it’s not like Meghan didn’t benefit from having a high profile, politically-connected friend in fashion, particularly while she was living in Toronto. Also…Jessica is her prime witness/ally in her lawsuit with the British tabs. If she turns on her, good luck…

Meg needs Jessica because of her upcoming trial with the British media over that ridiculous fake letter concerning her father is still pending. Honestly it’s evident that MM thinks she’s better than JM, so it’s any wonder she doesn’t have any real friends. She’s using JM. Most importantly she needs JM. Meghan is nobody’s friend. Her own vanity and narcissism outweighs her intelligence. But she better watch out JM knows where the bodies are…
ferretsrus says
Eagle: Meghan Markle
Goose: Jessica Mulrooney
MM only cares about herself and her own image and is famous for ghosting people. If she didn’t need Jessica to lie for her at the trial, Jessica would be gone by now. As soon as she is no longer of use, MM will dump her.

Markle did not do the right thing. As usual she is self-serving and only about her image and hope to make money and win the war she has started with the royal family. Markle is a terrible, lying, manipulative, conniving, two-faced human being who deserves the truth about her to come out. I wish Jessica would find out she doesn’t need markle and drop all the truth bombs!

Meghan Markle and her best friend Mulroney – her husband belongs to a powerful family in Canada.
Meghan does not have many friends – just 2 (Mulroney and Serena). I know people are going to say Oprah, but I think Oprah was called days before the wedding after all the drama with her dad, to make Meghan not look so bad.
Based on the fact that she only has 2 friends – makes sense they are still in touch.
Meghan also will see her influence dwindle as she moves further away from the Royals.
Sangfroid says
Eagle Markle and Goose Mulroney. Makes sense to do what she is in her situation, and let’s face it, they’re both users in a situation of mutual gain. Users gonna use!
hannahhkate says
How long do we think Jessica Mulroney (Goose) will be fine with Meghan Markle (Eagle) chastising her in the press? Goose needs to have some self respect. Eagle is using her, just like eagle uses everyone else. Good grief.
Did Eagle do the right thing? No. Because Eagle behaves the exact same way (being nice in the comments and threatening lawsuits in the DMs)…so don’t try to pretend that your talons are clean.
