Dolly Parton Slaps Down Meghan's Invite, Fears Reputation Hit!
Meghan Allegedly Profited from Dolly Parton's Trash Sale
Fame and fortune are a double-edged sword, and even country music legend Dolly Parton isn't immune to their pitfalls. Recently, Parton reportedly turned down an offer from Duchess Meghan to star in her show, "With Love, Meghan," due to concerns about her reputation.
According to Kinsey Schofield, a prominent commentator, part of Parton's team was positively livid about the invitation. On her podcast, "The Nerve with Maureen Callahan," Schofield elaborated that the team was hesitant to tie Parton's reputation to Meghan Markle, fearing it would damage Parton's credibility in the lifestyle arena, an area in which Parton herself has gained considerable fame[1].
Schofield emphasized that Parton's team saw the collaboration as an exploitation of Parton's popularity for Markle's personal gain. Apart from her melodious tunes, Parton has made a name for herself as a lifestyle guru with her line of baking mixes and beauty products[1].
Ch-ch-changes
Meghan Markle's lifestyle series, "With Love, Meghan," debuted on Netflix in early March. The show featured appearances from friends like Mindy Kaling and Abigail Spencer, and shortly after its release, Netflix announced the second season, revealing that filming had already been completed[1]. Similar to the first season, fans could expect the second season to hit screens in the fall[1].
Due to the secrecy surrounding the second season, Meghan hinted that it might arrive earlier than expected, stating "A great weekend to catch up or rewatch the series while we get ready for season two this summer and all the fun ahead with As Ever." As Ever is Meghan's lifestyle brand[1].
A Stitch in Time Saves Nine
Despite the setback, it seems that Meghan is moving swiftly to prepare for the second season of "With Love, Meghan." However, complications arose for Meghan's brand, As Ever, due to a jam shortage[2]. This obstacle forced the duchess to temporarily halt production, signaling Meghan's eagerness to ensure the highest quality product comes her way.
