Meghan Markle put on a brave face during a rare red carpet appearance after her alleged fallout with Netflix was exposed.<\/p>\n
The Duchess of Sussex walked the red carpet for the Alliance for Children\u2019s Rights 34th Annual Champions for Children event held at the Beverly Wilshire in Beverly Hills on Thursday.<\/p>\n
She was all smiles as she posed beside her close friend Kelly McKee Zajfen before the two cosied up, reports Page Six<\/a>.<\/p>\n For the outing, Meghan wore a simple strapless blue gown, which she paired with gold earrings and gold bracelets. McKee Zajfen, on the other hand, wore a body-hugging black dress, which showed off her growing bump.<\/p>\n Her appearance comes after Variety<\/a> published a scathing report about her fallout with Netflix, which had just cut ties with her lifestyle brand As Ever.<\/p>\n In it, sources claimed that Meghan would \u201cdisappear\u201d from Zoom meetings when she was offended.<\/p>\n \u201cThe mood in the building is \u2018We\u2019re done,\u2019\u201d a Netflix insider told the outlet, claiming that Meghan, 44, and Prince Harry\u2019s behaviour \u201chas ruffled feathers in meetings.\u201d<\/p>\n However, her lawyer, Michael J. Kump, said in a letter to the outlet that she \u201cworks from home, is the mother of young children aged 4 and 6, and often encounters children who enter the space unexpectedly during a meeting.<\/p>\n \u201cIndependent of being a parent who works from home, Meghan is also conscious of shielding her team from the distraction of children,\u201d Kump continued. \u201cNearly all professionals can attest to needing to turn off the audio or camera during a virtual meeting at some point during many hours of virtual business calls.\u201d <\/p>\n It was also alleged that Meghan would \u201ctalk over or recast\u201d Harry\u2019s thoughts, even when he was mid-sentence, and then she\u2019d touch his arm or thigh during virtual and in-person meetings with Netflix partners, sources said.<\/p>\n However, Kump insisted the claim \u201cseems calculated to play into the misogynistic characterisation of her bossing her husband around.\u201d<\/p>\n Harry, 41, also told Variety that the allegation is \u201ccategorically false.\u201d<\/p>\n The report also claimed that Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos was \u201cfed up\u201d with the Sussexes, who allegedly directly texted Sarandos about their projects.<\/p>\n In fact, Sarandos allegedly said he wouldn\u2019t sit for a call with Meghan unless a lawyer was present on the line, which a Netflix spokesman insisted was \u201cabsolutely inaccurate.\u201d<\/p>\n Additionally, Netflix insiders insisted that Sarandos and his wife, Nicole Avant, frequently socialise with the Sussexes, who are their neighbours in Montecito.<\/p>\n A source also told Page Six that Meghan and Harry have a great working relationship with Sarandos.<\/p>\n Meghan and Harry originally negotiated a multimillion-dollar deal with Netflix in 2020 after leaving the royal family.<\/p>\n The couple went on to release their hit 2023 tell-all documentary, Harry & Meghan, their failed Polo series and Meghan\u2019s critically maligned lifestyle series, With Love, Meghan.<\/p>\n Page Six reported last August that the couple extended their deal with the streamer, but that it was worth less than the previous one.<\/p>\n Most recently, Netflix cut ties with Meghan\u2019s lifestyle brand, As Ever, after her two-season series With Love, Meghan was canned due to falling ratings.<\/p>\n However, the Sussexes still have a deal with Netflix via their production company, Archewell Productions, with a source telling us that multiple scripted and unscripted projects are in development.<\/p>\n This article originally appeared in Page
