In a surprising twist in the world of celebrity drama, Meghan Markle is reportedly on a mission to have Joe Rogan removed from Netflix.
According to a blind item circulating in media circles, Markle has been persistently reaching out to Netflix, threatening to pull her projects if they don’t sever ties with the controversial podcaster.
This bold move appears to be linked to Rogan’s recent jokes about her husband, Prince Harry.
The situation has sparked plenty of speculation.
Many believe that Markle’s ire stems from Rogan’s comedic take on Harry during his latest special, “Joe Rogan: Burn the Boats.”
This special, which originally aired live on August 4 and is now available for replay, features Rogan taking jabs at the prince in a manner that many viewers found amusing.
For example, Rogan shared a humorous anecdote about waking up to find Prince Harry discussing him on television.
He even painted a vivid picture of a fictional scenario where he and Harry are tripping on mushrooms together, poking fun at the prince’s advocacy on various issues, including vaccines.
It’s clear that Rogan didn’t hold back, and his routine also seemed to include some light-hearted digs at Meghan, who has been vocal about vaccine equity.
Given Meghan’s track record of reacting strongly to public mockery, it’s no shock that she might feel aggrieved by Rogan’s routine.
Last year, the couple faced a similar situation when they were parodied in an episode of “South Park.”
The episode, titled “Worldwide Privacy Tour,” took a satirical look at their lives, leading Meghan and Harry to contemplate legal action against the show’s creators.
Despite their initial threats, the creators of “South Park” stood firm, defending their right to free speech.
Ultimately, Meghan and Harry backed down, labeling their legal threats as baseless.
This history raises questions about whether Markle’s latest threats to Netflix are yet another attempt to exert influence through intimidation.
Netflix, however, seems unfazed by Markle’s demands.
