Meghan Markle Cuts Ties with Jessica Mulroney After Controversy
Jessica Mulroney, Canadian stylist and former Good Morning America correspondent, has been in the spotlight recently due to her alleged demonstration of textbook white privilege towards Sasha Exeter, a black influencer.
Mulroney threatened legal action against Exeter but later issued a public apology, acknowledging the need to learn and listen on how to use her privilege to elevate and support black voices.
However, Mulroney's friendship with Meghan Markle has also come under scrutiny.
Rumors have circulated that Mulroney has been reaching out to Markle and mulling over the idea of writing a tell-all book about their friendship.
Markle, who grew close to Mulroney while filming Suits in Canada, is reportedly no longer interested in associating herself with Mulroney.
A source revealed that Markle could not get over Mulroney bringing up their relationship when commenting about her closest friend in the discourse with Exeter.

This was hugely offensive to Markle and the deciding factor for her.
The source added that the two women were already on the outs before Mulroney's scandal with Exeter.
Since the controversy, Mulroney lost her contributing role on Good Morning America, where she had been a fashion consultant for nearly two years.
Her husband, Ben Mulroney, also announced that he would be taking some time away from the spotlight amid the backlash.
Ben confirmed that he would be leaving his role on CTV's talk after 18 years, stating that it is not his place to speak for his wife and that they are committed to doing the work to both learn and understand more about anti-black racism.
The scandal has also affected Mulroney's family life.
According to an insider close to the family, Markle cut off all contact with a pair of 10-year-old twins who she considered part of the family after Mulroney's controversy.
The twins in question are boys who Mulroney and her husband share, and they were in Markle's royal wedding party.
Now, without any explanation, Markle has vanished from their lives.
The insider stated that Mulroney is distraught over the radio silence she is being given by Markle.
Mulroney helped Markle plan her wedding, baby shower, and even babysat for little Archie when he was in Canada.
The insider added that Mulroney has seen Markle dump a lot of people after she met Prince Harry, but she never thought the day would come when she and her boys would be on that list too.
It is difficult to explain to children that Aunty Meghan doesn't care about them anymore.
Ben Mulroney shut down speculation that his wife is hoping to work on a tell-all book about Markle, sharing the story on Twitter with a one-word takedown, false.
Jessica invoked her friendship with Markle, claiming that she should have been more sensitive about the plight of black women because she lived a very public and personal experience with her closest friend where race was front and center.
However, it seems that Markle has decided to distance herself from her former longtime pal.
In conclusion, Mulroney's controversy has cost her not only her job but also her friendship with Markle and her relationship with Markle's 10-year-old twin boys.
It remains to be seen whether she can rebuild these relationships in the future, but for now, it seems that Mulroney is facing the consequences of her actions.
