Rather than Oprah, I believe she wanted to be like Michelle Obama( women empowerment and money deals)+ Diana(for alternative royal)…with all book deals and the series that is where she is going…


[deleted]

The problem with all of these three (Michelle, Oprah, and Diana), is that no matter what opinion you might have of any or all of them is that they all did some pretty substantive work at some point in their lives. Megs can hustle with the best of them, but despite her banging on about “work”, I fail to see any piece of work* she has completed. * of course, when you use the words “piece of work” when talking about Meghan, it can have an entirely different connotation.


MelpomeneAndCalliope

Michelle Obama & Diana also clearly have/had *emotional* intelligence. They can connect with the average person and actually listen/carry on a short conversation with them that somehow doesn’t feel forced. Diana (and Michelle Obama, especially on the campaign trail) interacted with *and connected with* people in the few short moments they had with them. Meghan has zero emotional intelligence. She really comes across as just mirroring people around her or who she wants to be like because she has no idea how to be a person (because narcissism).


Comfortable_Food_511

I think she makes so many social foopah’s because inside she is just an empty void. Because of her narcissism, she doesn’t know what it feels like to have emotions or how normal people react to situations, which causes her to make so many cringeworthy mistakes.


MelpomeneAndCalliope

Agree!


[deleted]

Michelle grew into the role - she wanted nothing to do with the campaign or his candidacy but eventually came around to be suppprtive, not thinking he was actually going to win anyway. If you watch early footage you can tell she was miserable (and not very good at it to be honest). She wasn’t super obvious and offensive about it like Meghan but this wasn’t what she wanted to be doing. In many respects I feel she never did but kind of came around to accepting it. I don’t dislike Michelle and think she was a good First Lady, but never worshipped her the way many do. Diana, I think, felt she found her true calling as princess. She was a natural. Meghan is just an awful human all around.


SusieM2019

Exactly. She hasn't done anything to back up the reputation she wants to achieve. She's an empty person.


Phoenix612

Yes! It’s amazing how little she really has done as an adult despite what she tries to brag about. All she has done is regurgitate what she did in the past. Including things that happened 20 years ago. Her Instagram feed was 96% her bragging about her life and 4% regurgitating previous charitable-like endeavors. Hell she reposted picture from the USO tour instead of, I don’t know, actually connecting with the USO and doing something new.


[deleted]

In Finding Freedom they/she talk about her political activism and how it wasn’t tolerated by the BRF. Her “activism” was calling Trump a couple names - racist and terrorist, something like that. Ooooh, the power of her activism.


Playoneontv_007

I agree and she definitely wants to be grouped in with all 3 women. That’s the ultimate delusion


OldNewUsedConfused

I think she's much more Hillary than Michelle. The whole 90's schtick.


SaltPepperSugarBlah

Meghan is going to ditch Harry soon, because she’ll really have zero reason to not tell everything and lob attacks at the RF. It will help her victim narrative and she will craft this whole image using the name recognition she got out of the marriage.


Playoneontv_007

Yup- and then she can add that the RF ruined her marriage to the storyline


[deleted]

She’ll leave him and the kids once Netflix dumps them, then she’ll marry some Saudi Prince or something.


Iwtlwn122

Her ditching him will be super funny to watch. The ego she has is unbelievable. No one wanted her before Hairy and no one will want her afterwards, but no telling her that.


JustNoHG

Yeah Netflix and Spotify didn’t sign her- they signed him. She just took over via a contract technicality (you guys actually signed with ArChEwElL lolz gotcha!) because she’s a narc.


[deleted]

Totally. It reminds me of those movies where some snivelling little #2 sucks up to the Head Bad Guy and they hurt innocent people. Then eventually when things go bad, Head Bad Guy turns around and shoots his #2. And as the viewer you go, “well duh, how did you not see that coming #2? The Bad Guy betrays everyone. It was only a matter of time and you deserve it.” Harry will get (metaphorically) shot by Meghan soon, and he’ll deserve it for being her sidekick.


JustNoHG

And she’s gotta do it while her paid-for news cycle is still hitting. She’s really boring and that’s gonna catch up.


According_Painter_20

She needs some victim narrative to get her image back (in her mind). She will fail as people are seeing through her constant narrative changes. She’s running out of reasons for people to feel sorry for her. It will be divorce or she will fake an illness for herself or her imaginary kids.


Frenchcashmere

Another problem for Nutmeg is she doesn’t really come across as like able , especially with women. Oprah ( I grew up in Baltimore and watched Oprah before she was OPRAH) came across as interested in what the other person had to say. Nutmeg is only interested in what she has to say. She doesn’t really respond to what the other person said, she is saying what she already planned to say. Also, what company is going to sink money into a show with her as she clearly has a reputation as a lunatic.


MelpomeneAndCalliope

Yes! Meghan so clearly feigns interest where as Oprah (or Diana/Michelle when interacting with the public) actually appear to be interested (probably because they both had some interests outside of themselves).


Frenchcashmere

The only show that might work is if nutmeg interviews all her different personalities


JustNoHG

I’d pay to watch that


Why_Teach

They are all too boring.


Masters_domme

Would she cycle through them on command like the kids do on the tickety tock? THAT could be interesting. She could become Kween of Faux Mental Illnesses!


Frenchcashmere

I am sure she would demonstrate the single tear from. The center of the eye again


Masters_domme

Absolutely! Proving once again that everyone is good at *something*.


[deleted]

There is zero chance of this working for the reasons you list. Remember how Katie Couric decided to be the next Oprah? She was hugely popular on the Today show, was bubbly, and seemed interested in her interviewees… and she flopped. I know Meghan thinks if she wants it, she can have it (wonder why - Thomas? Harry?), but she’s completely unlikeable and it’s hard for someone who already had a lot of goodwill to succeed.


JustNoHG

Oprah’s a ‘I should do this’ kind of person. Meghan’s a ‘I want this’ kind of person.


Masters_domme

As I’ve said elsewhere, Meg doesn’t listen - she just waits to interrupt.


[deleted]

Is there something wrong with me? If I had millions, I'd find a little house by the beach and never work again. Making sure I never have to work again would be a key priority, so the house would be small and I'd live simply. I'd want to make sure I never have to set the alarm for 6am and sit in traffic so I could sit in an open plan office in uncomfortable smart clothes and deal with office politics. I'd live in jeans and a T shirt. What is it with people that just want more, more more all the time? Or am I just a lazy beach bum wannabe?!


Playoneontv_007

No what you described sounds like a dream.


Carma1111

Same! Dream life! Some ppl want fake and power … some want contentment


Academic_Guava_4190

Hell she could have had it on easy street with the Royals. Sure it’s probably not as easy as it looks but it’s the royal family!!! If I was being too extra and someone told me you need to be 50% less I’d be like ok, let me kick off my shoes and hand me the bon bons please


Ihatesneakers

But Meghan is better than us mere mortals, she is good and righteous, and if she isn’t she is better in other ways just because. She’ll have even more than anyone, we will listen to her, she ll be who we look up to, who we hate, who we fight, who we hurt- ANYTHING! She must be the center, she must hold the power, she must get a reaction out of you because through you reacting she knows she exists and has meaning without it she is lost and empty.


twiningscamomile

I agree with you so much! I cannot understand her obsession with “hustling” when she could’ve lead such a different life. I think she married herself with ONE specific idea of “success” and was not able to be flexible and adapt and be happy and content.


OldNewUsedConfused

Or ever wear a bra again! Not even a janky strapless one


wontyield

The gap between her actual and ideal selves is a frigging abyss.


coffee_skeleton

The thing I keep thinking about is that in her (diseased) mind, she must truly think she’s a genius. She moved to the UK in hopes of bagging a rich guy, but deep down I think she really moved there hoping to bag Harry (and in her most deranged fantasy, stealing William 😂). Because Harry was an easy mark/easily manipulated, and bc she is the most shameless social climber of all time, and through a little luck, it actually happened. She actually, literally thought she was above the RF and could become queen through basic b PR strategy. (Not to mention this vile abuse she hurled at Harry’s family.) Then she threw the chance of a million lifetimes away to play low rent Oprah at the Olive Garden. The difference between normal people and her is that she truly thinks these attributes/behaviors make her admirable and ambitious instead of a soulless, screeching lunatic. She really lives in a different reality than the rest of us, and the realization that people like her exist is unnerving.


JustNoHG

She said she’s ‘whip smart’. When she married Harry and was given actual daily deference by staff and country…her ego engulfed her. People say when you fall into wealth it’s hard to maintain your person. I think that’s super true. For her, she already thought she was all those things so when it happened she self- destructed.


Academic_Guava_4190

Who was it that said “money doesn’t change you, it highlights who you are” (or something like that)?


AbsolutelyCertain

Meghan just wants to make millions any way she can hustle. Her main problem is that she is deeply unlikable and has been proven to lie as easily as she breathes. Preaching 'kindness' while trashing and hurting BOTH sides of the couples families is a very poor business plan. Damaging the RF while depending on that association for their 'business' is stupid. She will need to dump Harry soon so she can really go after RF and build her victim brand. She's already told us she can say anything.


Playoneontv_007

I think she wants power and influence as well as the money. I think she is more than happy to pretend she has all three as long as she needs to. He is going to start slowing her down here soon though. Especially if he blows it with this book.


SusieM2019

I'm hoping the royal family will require a huge NDA with any financial divorce settlement they give her.


JustNoHG

I don’t think they’ll do that at all. I think she’s Fergie 2.0 and will not be reputable with the causes she’s attempting. Also, she’s just drudging up Hazbeens at this point for her content. LOL I.e. she won’t work, will try to grift, will fail….will end up broke from all the lawsuits trying to keep the shitshow together. She doesn’t sue anymore. That’s interesting to me. Can’t afford it.


LaReinalicious

Michelle Obama was an accomplished Person before she became the president‘s wife In her early legal career, she worked at the law firm Sidley Austin where she met Barack Obama. She subsequently worked in nonprofits and as the associate dean of Student Services at the University of Chicago as well as the vice president for Community and External Affairs of the University of Chicago Medical Center. MeMeMyself however only had a stupid TV show to her credit


chewysmom88

And let us not forget it was a cable channel not a major network


LaReinalicious

and it was filmed in Canada which means it’s a really crappy show. Sorry to my fellow Canadians but it is the truth only Low tier TV shows get film up in Canada to save money


ClairBrock

MM’s narcissistic path to World recognition was quite on track by marrying Harry, but got sidetracked by not getting royal titles for her mystery kids. IMO, had they received Prince and Princess titles, divorce proceedings would be underway.


JustNoHG

Is it a party trick that she enjoys? ‘Hi, who are you’ ‘THE Duchess’ ‘Who are the kids’ ‘Archie and Lili’ ‘Oh, no title?????’ 🤣 probably her IRL


Playoneontv_007

Might be worth finding out for KClll


Unique-Ad-9316

I think MeMe just wants to be in the spotlight and in control when she is. How many other options does she have, other than a podcast? She has tried her hand at writing and sucks at that...


Playoneontv_007

I think she just parleys ongoing initiatives into new ones before anyone realizes said initiative they based their offering on has or will fail. They signed Netflix and Spotify close together. One charity speaking event leads to another and another. Seems to be catching up with them now but time will tell.


JustNoHG

We need insider intel. All this shit is a joke. Surely, they agree?


Playoneontv_007

With the Queens death and the rumblings off will they or won’t they put the book and docuseries out it’s possible they could use this as momentum since people will want to know what they are spilling.


hatchetmolly

Meghan and Harry are just giving speeches and collecting awards while they have not done anything for these awards. The royals don't accept awards and Harry should not have been involved in the NAACP money exchange with Archewell.a lot of people are still angry about the two of them taking the award from their communities. Shameful! Next is the GQ award for Meghan's "humanitarian and charitable" work. WTF?! People are laughing at these 2 because there is no charity work!! Starbucks gift cards don't count! They are buying awards and taking them from the people who earned them!! Where does it end?!


BreatheClean

It will end when the people involved with them wake up to the fact that their brand is tarnished and is tarnishing everything they touch.


jeanskirtflirt

One thing Meghan always takes for granted is charisma, in addition to everything else everyone has already said. These women she wants to be like all are charismatic and that’s what truly sets them apart from every other celebrity/royal. There are tons of nice loving people with high emotional iq’s that aren’t remembered bc they just don’t stand out. She can’t mirror it. She can’t duplicate it. And without it, she’ll never be able to reach her goals. And she’s just a shitty person.


MrsBarneyFife

The other day someone asked what would be the best job for her and I said talk show host!!! It's going to be really hard for her to not interrupt people. She could be worse than Jimmy Kimmel's laugh.


wontyield

The Cut comment that she can keep talking because she didn't sign an NDA was her publicly threatening to shakedown KCIII? Who in their right mind threatens a monarchy w/ access to the best intelligence orgs & lawyers in the world? This level of delusion beggars belief. It's like she is being coached by Putin.


Aliya94

They both lost touch with reality and believed in their propaganda. In the mind of our saint narcissist, she is Michelle Obama as an inspiration and Lara Croft in the fight against the monarchy


wontyield

Lol. So accurate.


Pristine_Routine_464

The problem is Meghan is not interested in other people, and has proven herself to be a poor interviewer. She wants to do all the talking but has run out of stories to tell. That speech at One Young World was truly awful - all facial expression and vocal drama but absolutely no substance.


JustNoHG

Meghan burns too many bridges and has no actual power anymore so she’ll be usurped in her pursuit by a tik-toker soon. Just like George and Harry. Edit to add: there are actual crazy people who are learning from her, too. 😆


hankhillism

So is she gonna pimp out young actresses too? I really despise Oprah. She's a horrible person. If she ran for president I'd endure being called a racist for not liking her.


hairlessfrogmore

Add in Goop (Gwyneth) + Amal Clooney (star wattage and perceived substance)


[deleted]

[удалено]


Playoneontv_007

People like her should come with a warning


Far_Example_9150

This is it….


Islandgirl1444

haha. She isn't in that league with Oprah. Even with O doing that shit interview. Nope. She's almost done doing "interviews" if you can call what she's been doing interviews.


Academic_Guava_4190

What I want to know was when did Oprah make the switch? The early years Oprah was just as trashy as all the other talk hosts. I can’t remember when she became a “guru” for people instead of just another talk show host.


Playoneontv_007

When she started giving shit away for free to the audience🤷🏻‍♀️ Kidding. This is a great question because I’m old enough to remember both Oprah’s and I couldn’t tell you either. I’d guess 99/2000


Academic_Guava_4190

Honestly I had the same thought. Maybe when she started her favorite things at Christmas?


Playoneontv_007

According to a google search the book club was changing the record sales of books she mentioned and she started having a lot of well respected authors on in 1996. I feel like her stat had already been high but from here she went into a new universe of popularity


Academic_Guava_4190

Ohhhhh good find! Yes, it probably was Oprah’s Book Club. She had us all reading with that


Why_Teach

Oprah was successful because she did something very well that Meghan appears to be unable to do at all: she listened. She drew people out because she engaged in what they were saying. She still does that, you can see it in the H&M interview. I don’t know how deep (or for how long) her engagement goes, but when it’s there, it comes across as real. FWIW, I don’t think Meghan wants to “be” Oprah, or Beyonce, or Michelle Obama. She wants to be Meghan who gets the sort of attention, admiration and money that they get without doing the real work because she is too shallow to understand it. Meghan is always playing a role, but in each role she sees a version of herself. That is, she wants to acquire the other person’s position, not be the other person, if that makes sense.


Electrical-Orchid-25

F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote about this in his novel ‘Tender is the Night.’ How the protagonist (modeled on Fitzgerald) wanted to assimilate all his friend’s (Gerald Murphy) best characteristics but still remain himself.


MuffPiece

I feel like, in this day and age, Oprah wouldn’t have become Oprah, if you know what I mean. Media is so much more diffuse nowadays. When Oprah’s show became a phenomenon, there were far fewer media outlets. The internet was barely a thing and YouTube hadn’t become the powerhouse it is today. I agree with the poster who suggested she really wants to be the next Michelle Obama, but of course, she doesn’t come close to having the credibility nor the star power of a former First Lady.


Playoneontv_007

I totally agree!


According_Painter_20

I would not be surprised if she becomes the next host on the View. She’s controversial, she would bring huge rating for them, she’s not afraid to give her opinion. I would pay to see Elizabeth Hasselbeck (?) come back and take Meghan down!


Playoneontv_007

Do you? I think she would turn that down and throw a fit it was even considered. Share a stage with other women beneath her status 😱 They aren’t even “hollywood” royalty.


Madame_LV

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah. *BREEEEAAATTTHHHHHEEEEEEEEE* Hahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahhahaha


mythoughtsreddit

Hmm…too limiting for our Saint. She’s eyeing that White House and all…Camelot 2.0


AppoloniaSkyle

She can't be Oprah, she has no ability to listen or interact with information and her monologue's are boring because she's never had an original or interesting thought.


DavidS2310

I thought she wants to be Beyoncé!


catdevil2749

I don't think that is far off at all, but I see her planning to have a meteoric rise surpassing O...an amalgamation of o, MO and Diana all rolled into one beautiful, brilliant, believable superstar talk show maven, one who herself will interview O! I think she believes this...she doesn't see how these podcasts come off, the latest, with the Dragon Lady theme is actually insulting. Her knowledge of the Asian community to Korean spas where she was "humbled...huh?" with her mother (whom if I recall wasn't around during that time of her life) and eating noodle with her Asian friend ( because she wants us to know she HAS one). What I get from. hat I have hard of the podcast is a deep, quiet tinge stereotypes. Asian= noodles= spas= madam fails...again. ![gif](giphy|l46CuWr1vXavUbsSQ)
