Megan, known as our very own Duchess of Copy Paste, has set her sights on dominating Instagram with her latest venture, American Riviera Orchard.
This new lifestyle project seems to have been shamelessly borrowed from Gwyneth Paltrow’s goop playbook.
Thursday witnessed Megan’s endeavor to captivate us with what she deems as the epitome of creativity – a logo reminiscent of an Etsy reject and a video exuding forced rustic charm.
The advertisement itself featured a cliché montage of someone seemingly idle, playing with roses in a scene as genuine as her plea for privacy.
In an unexpected turn of events, Megan appeared in a kitchen, portraying a down-to-earth hostess, only to later transition into standing elegantly on a veranda, basking in the sunlight like a modern-day Marie Antoinette detached from reality.
It almost feels like she is declaring to the world, “Look at me.
I could be engaging in noble deeds or learning a new language, but here I am selling overpriced lifestyle products to you common folk.”
But the plot thickens as Gwyneth Paltrow notices the striking resemblance between Megan’s new venture and her own goop empire’s humble origins.
The parallels are so evident that it seems Megan made no effort to conceal her imitation.
Fans and critics alike were swift to draw connections, accusing Megan of blatant imitation with less charm and more desperation.
This is the same Megan who once ridiculed the notion of selling extravagantly priced candles à la goop.
Yet, here she is, seemingly aspiring to reign over her derivative, costly lifestyle brand.
It appears as though her time in the Montecito castle was spent not on meaningful endeavors but on fantasizing about becoming the very influencer she once criticized, complete with her line of gimmicky products.
Question arises – what expertise does Megan possess in this domain?
The lifestyle and culinary sphere is teeming with authentic talent and dedication, unlike Megan’s superficial foray into this competitive market.
Her culinary credentials are feeble, unless marrying into royalty and occasional dining out are deemed relevant experiences.
To compound matters, she launches this branding attempt amidst a petty dispute over a Mother’s Day photo.
Megan’s desperation to maintain relevance is palpable, but this move marks a new low.
This initiative not only disrespects the genuinely creative minds in the industry but also underscores her and Harry’s self-absorbed, disconnected actions.
In their bubble, this might have seemed like a good idea.
However, let’s call it what it is – a transparent, poorly executed endeavor to emulate success without exerting genuine effort.
Megan, if you intend to deceive us, put some sincerity into your endeavors.
We are not buying into your offerings, both literally and metaphorically.
It’s time to rethink your strategy or perhaps consider stepping away from the limelight to spare us from your next ‘innovative’ pursuit.
