Meghan Markle Hires Hollywood Crisis Management Firm Linked to Harvey Weinstein
Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, has found herself in hot water lately with the public after it was revealed that she spent £2.4 million of taxpayers' money on renovating Frogmore Cottage and using a private jet despite campaigning for climate change.
In an effort to improve her damaged image, Meghan has reportedly hired a Hollywood crisis management firm, Sunshine Sachs, which once represented Harvey Weinstein and Michael Jackson.
Sunshine Sachs is known for representing a celebrity list that includes stars such as Ben Affleck, Leonardo DiCaprio, Jason Statham, Natalie Portman, the Michael Jackson estate, and Justin Timberlake.
The company represented Harvey Weinstein in 2015 when he was accused of groping model Ambra Batalana Gutierrez.
Weinstein was accused of rape, s**ual assault, and s**ual abuse over a period of at least 30 years by more than 80 women in the film industry.
Criminal investigations into complaints from at least six women are ongoing in Los Angeles, New York City, and London.

According to The Sun, Meghan's hiring of a Hollywood firm to represent her for PR while being a member of the royal family is unorthodox to say the least.
Senior palace courtiers have been left bemused over the last few months that the couple have been ignoring advice from their own highly professional team and will instead listen to outsiders in Hollywood.
However, Meghan trusts Kayleigh Thomas Morgan, who got a prime seat at her wedding and whom she has known for years.
The company is believed to be advising Meghan about the new Sussex Royal Foundation, which the Sussex couple have planned since they broke away from the royal foundation, which the couple had worked under with Prince William and Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge.
A royal insider told The Sun that Sunshine Sachs is concerned about the British public and whether they still support Meghan in light of a series of damaging items that have come to light.
These included comments made by her half-sister Samantha Markle, her relationship with her estranged father Thomas Markle, news about a royal feud between Meghan and Prince William and Kate Middleton, and upset about her spending alongside her insistence of privacy regarding baby Archie's christening.
The 38-year-old royal has reportedly been recently guided by the company's chief executive Sean Sachs and Kayleigh Thomas Morgan, who represented Meghan when she was an actress on the drama Suits.
Many royal critics claim the use of a Hollywood PR company is unorthodox and more in keeping with her celebrity past than her current royal status.
However, Meghan's recent actions suggest that she is determined to improve her image and regain the public's trust.
In other news, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been called out for hoarding their cashed-up California cake and wanting to eat it too.
Royal experts believe that the couple has begun cashing in their California cake and wanting to eat it too.
This claim has been made by royal commentator Daniela Elza in her interview with Express UK.
Elza began by admitting, “So, off they went to California to talk about compassion and making podcasts and TV shows, all lofty, impressive goals which have so far translated into sound and fury signifying headline-making white noise.”
In short, they made their choice, the royal commentator went on to say.
But now?
Now it looks like they are about to go back to Britain for a trip which could carry with it the patina of royalty, the fleet of stealthy black range rovers pulling up to events, the cheering crowds, and the big speeches.
The problem is, having picked freedom and life outside palace walls, with this UK trip, it looks a lot like they are now intent on having their cashed-up Californian cake and eating it too.
