I personally can't afford Jenni Kayne but am finding the commentary in this thread that Meghan is out of touch for wearing an expensive sweater hilarious. Earlier today someone started a thread asking for summer dress recs and more than half if them are in the $300+ range, which I think is pricey. But that's considered normal on DCUM because it's a lot of high income people. But if you're Meghan apparently its tone deaf? Ok.

It’s really not normal in lifestyle programming to leave in the final edit someone getting ass-kissed for her lewk, pretending to not understand the slang, tittering modestly into her palm, and then citing extremely expensive stuff (Loro Piana). It’s at odds with what she wants to project, which is modesty. Martha Stewart did not give a solitary damn, so she could have happily snapped “Hermes, Zoran, Rei Kawakubo” and that would have been consistent. She wouldn’t have been acting like she was in The Mikado.

The objection is to how fake it all is. Martha is a real one, by which I mean a real B. And people eventually liked her for it. You gotta be what you are. If Meghan leaned into her villain era she’d gain more genuine admirers.

She came across as smug in that scene, especially when she cited the "high" part of her high/low outfit. She's never heard of "lewk"? Really?

Yes, she never heard of that common slang work. Just like she didn't know who Prince Harry was despite a Princess Diana biography that appeared in a photograph of a bookshelf in her Toronto townhouse. Really, how can people still defend her? That is a loony bin thing to claim!!!

Alllll the obsessed haters will be buying it for their YouTube channels and twitter clout. “I found a hair in my jam!” “It tastes like their non-existent kids mashed it with their dirty hands!”

I think literally zero people will buy it and it will all spoil in whatever warehouse it’s in.

Well, no, not "literally" zero. I'm already planning on buying some of the crepe and shortbread cookie mix!

Sure sure. On the clock already, eh?

Weird that you think I’d make that up. I bought that cookbook she wrote the forward to in order to raise money for the Grenfell victims.

She is certainly welcome to make whatever content she wants, but I think she did something somewhat unique and good with the Grenfell cookbook. I wonder if she could have made a series elevating the cooking and traditions of various marginalized communities. I think that would have made for more compelling television and it would have made it harder for people to criticize her.

105 pages and I’ve seen nothing remotely sane in the way of criticism of this woman. You haters are nuts. If you don’t like her, don’t pay attention to her. She is not in charge of your lives, your family, your finances, or your health.

I’m going to buy a chambray shirt and $30 jam just because I will always defend the victim of bullying. You people are weird.

You read all 105 pages of this thread and you are calling other people weird?

That’s what discussion forums are for. Reading.

Do you defend the people she bullied? How does that work for you? It must be confusing.

See this is where my world gets crazy because I can’t stand the anti chambray shirt pro pit bull/couch hippo poster. But I do agree with her that MM is a bit nauseating. The beauty of DCUM I suppose. Thanks, Jeff!

According to DM, she is launching a new podcast on the trials and tribulations of founding a new business. She will have other female enterpreneurs on her podcast

Yes and this also would tie into the more social impact minded work that it seems like they wanted to do - while still being a way to generate some income beyond philanthropy. Plus centering on others and giving them a spotlight. This is what it feels like she was primed to do when she first rose to that prominence. I agree with Tina Brown's substack on how her latest ventures feel very bland.

The only people who have accused her of bullying are the completely dysfunctional BRF and their employee sycophants. Those people are insane and lack any credibility.

I guess there could be an audience for that but her other podcast attempt wasn't very successful.

Sorry if this has already been posted..

But viewership data is in. WAY below number of views compared to 2022 Harry and Meghan.

-12.6 million hours viewed and 526,000 households for With Love vs 81 million hours and 2.1 million households for H&M series part 1 (for first 6 days).

Most people among women ages 45-54

Most viewers were in Baltic countries: Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia

It has fallen out of Netflix top 10 over the weekend.

Flop.

It’s fair for people to say they don’t enjoy watching her show, don’t find her authentic, didn’t like how she came across, didn’t find her recipes or tips useful, etc. What’s so insane about that?

It's hard to figure out who the audience is for this. Women who are successful in business already have advisors and do not need Mrghan's podcast to advise them. Your average mom or non entrepreneur professional is not looking for advice about starting a business.

I can see Meghan doing something like interviewing Sheryl Sandberg and claiming that she "leans in" on her business venture of jams, cake mixes and dog biscuits. If she is as lazy as she was with the last podcast the new pod will probably be a brief one. It just doesn't seem like a successful business owner would need advice from Meghan.
