The bestie breakup between Meghan Markle and Jessica Mulroney is apparently going to sting for quite some time.
We told you all about how that “white privilege” controversy between the 40-year-old Canadian stylist and Black influencer Sasha Exeter last month was enough to make the Duchess of Sussex cut off her former BFF for good. From what we’ve heard, the way Jessica essentially used Meghan and their friendship as a Black human shield in her defense really put the nail in the coffin!
Now, in the aftermath, sources close to the situation told The Sun Mulroney is really going through it:
“Jessica’s team have made it clear that she feels completely ditched by Meghan and fears she is going to cut her out of her life for good. She’s completely distraught and devastated because Meghan has done nothing to stand up for her publicly. Jessica is terrified she will never work again.”
Well, that last part is completely her own doing, isn’t it? Nobody forced Jessica to throw her “textbook white privilege” around like that!

However, these insiders think Meghan is definitely in the wrong here for publicly shunning her old pal:
“Meghan has forsaken her most loyal friend just to look woke.”
Or was she offended her “friend” used their relationship like some kind of racism get-out-of-jail-free card?
We knew Jessica was feeling the heat professionally in the wake of her damning actions, but the public’s negative perception and the distance from Markle has created even more issues for her:
“She is losing so much work from brands who loved her connection to Meghan in the past but now feels she has become toxic.”
Welp…
The word is folks in Jessica’s camp have been working overtime, hosting a series of meetings with power players in Hollywood over the past week discussing how to rescue her career without the former Suits star’s help. It’s not to say they wouldn’t jump at the chance for the two to bury the hatchet and make nice again though:
“All it would take is for Meghan to go out on a shopping trip with Jessica to show she still has her support. But the clear indication is that there’s not going to be any show of support like that. It’s a brutal blow after a ten-year friendship. Jessica has been there for Meghan through thick and thin.”
LOLz, wait. We all know it would take more than that to repair Mulroney’s image. That’s like putting a Band-aid on an open wound!
And in this case, it’d certainly do way more harm to Meghan than help to Jessica. Not to mention, this social distancing of sorts was apparently already in the works long before this scandal, so Her Former Royal Highness doesn’t sound interested.
On an inneresting note, some insiders point out it might be in Meghan’s best interest to keep Mulroney in her orbit until things pan out with her upcoming court case on Sunday with the Daily Mail; her ex-BFF is widely believed to be the anonymous friend who briefed People magazine about the letter Meghan sent to her father Thomas Markle.
We have a feeling this friendship is over either way, though! But what will it cost Meghan??
