Meghan Markle’s acting career has had its share of ups and downs, with notable flops like the 2015 film “Antisocial.”
In this movie, she portrays a model named Kirsten, who finds herself romantically entangled with a graffiti artist, played by Greg Sulkin.
His character gets swept into a dangerous lifestyle thanks to a friendship with a notorious criminal mastermind involved in audacious jewelry heists.
The film’s trailer showcases Meghan in various scenarios, from modeling for a perfume to clubbing and sharing kisses with her on-screen love interest.
However, behind the scenes, the production was marred by controversy, particularly regarding Meghan’s interactions with the makeup team.
A makeup artist recently shared her experience working with the Duchess, revealing a less-than-flattering perspective.
According to the artist, Meghan’s behavior was perceived as bossy, especially during elevator rides on set.
This tension reportedly led to a rather petty act of revenge from the makeup artist, who decided to apply makeup in a way that Meghan found unsatisfactory.
The makeup artist recounted how Meghan was furious about the results, which she deemed unacceptable.
The application was criticized for being poorly executed, with dark eye shadow that made Meghan’s eyes appear swollen and tired.
The artist described the look as “horrific,” suggesting it resembled someone who had just been in a fight rather than a glamorous actress.
Meghan’s lip injections were also called out for being uneven, adding to the overall unflattering appearance.
The makeup artist’s disdain for Meghan seemed to stem from more than just a bad makeup job.
Reports indicate that Meghan struggled to connect with her co-stars and often redirected conversations back to herself, lacking a sense of humor.
This diva-like behavior reportedly extended to her treatment of crew members, who felt the brunt of her rudeness.
Even Mariah Carey’s offhand remark about Meghan’s diva status seemed to hit too close to home.
Interestingly, while Meghan’s demeanor off-camera was described as difficult, sources noted that she could transform into a charming and appealing presence when the cameras rolled.
This duality appears to have contributed to the film’s commercial success, despite the negative atmosphere on set.
Producers acknowledged that her on-screen charisma contrasted sharply with her off-screen behavior.
Witnesses from the filming location recalled instances of Meghan being rude to staff, including makeup artists.
One employee observed her speaking harshly to a crew member, leaving the recipient visibly shaken.
In another instance, Meghan reportedly denied access to an elevator to someone trying to enter, an action that struck onlookers as childish.
In the wake of the couple’s controversial New York car chase incident in May, Meghan’s popularity has taken a significant hit.
Recent polling data indicates her favorability rating has plummeted to minus 47, the lowest since YouGov began tracking her public perception in 2017.
This decline in public opinion comes after the couple claimed they experienced a perilous two-hour chase involving paparazzi following an awards ceremony.
Despite their claims of danger, the mayor of New York City and law enforcement officials later downplayed the severity of the incident, raising questions about the couple’s narrative.
The YouGov survey conducted in early June revealed that 68 percent of respondents now hold a negative view of Meghan, a stark contrast to just 21 percent who view her positively.
Similarly, Prince Harry‘s popularity has also dipped, with his approval rating falling to minus 36, a two-point drop since April.
The couple’s high-profile lifestyle and controversial statements seem to have alienated a significant portion of the public, contributing to their waning favorability.
As Meghan navigates the aftermath of her acting career and personal choices, the scrutiny continues to mount.
The juxtaposition of her on-screen charm and off-screen challenges paints a complex picture of a woman striving for relevance in an ever-changing landscape.
