“Netflix Must Be Pulling Their HAIR Out!” | Kinsey Schofield ROASTS Meghan Markle’s Business Acumen
In a fiery criticism that’s lighting up social media and entertainment circles, Kinsey Schofield, a well-known media personality, has roasted Meghan Markle’s business acumen, particularly in light of her highly publicized deal with Netflix. In an interview that’s quickly gone viral, Schofield did not hold back, calling out Markle for her inability to capitalize on her platform and make good on promises made in her $100 million Netflix deal.
As Netflix continues to struggle with its own financial pressures, Schofield’s comments raise critical questions about Markle’s role in the streaming giant’s strategy, and whether her brand is living up to the hype.
The Netflix Deal: A Gamble Gone Wrong?
When Meghan Markle and her husband, Prince Harry, signed their $100 million deal with Netflix, it was hailed as a game-changing move. The couple, having stepped back from their roles in the royal family, was looking to redefine their lives with media content creation that aligned with their personal values: social justice, gender equality, and mental health awareness.
Netflix, for its part, was eager to get exclusive content from one of the world’s most famous couples. The deal promised documentaries, docuseries, and possibly feature films — all with a focus on activism and personal narratives that would resonate with global audiences.
However, Kinsey Schofield argues that Meghan Markle’s execution of this vision has been less than stellar. “Netflix must be pulling their hair out right now,” Schofield said in her interview. “They signed this massive deal, hoping to get a flood of content and a royal charm offensive — but what have they gotten? Nothing of substance, really.”
Schofield went on to critique Markle’s lack of clear content creation and her seeming disinterest in her production company, Archewell Productions. “They’ve only released one major project — ‘Harry & Meghan’, a docuseries that was mired in controversy. And while there’s a lot of talk about her personal brand, where’s the content that’s actually changing the world or attracting mass audiences?”
The ‘Harry & Meghan’ Docuseries: A Flop or a Success?
The first major project under the Archewell banner was the much-hyped “Harry & Meghan” docuseries on Netflix. This six-part series was supposed to provide a deeper look at the couple’s lives, following their departure from the royal family and their efforts to redefine the monarchy.
While the docuseries had high viewership numbers when it first dropped, it fizzled out quickly, with critics labeling it self-serving and lacking substance. Schofield didn’t hold back in her assessment: “The whole docuseries felt like a snooze fest, honestly. It didn’t do anything for Netflix or for Meghan’s personal brand.”
For all the hype surrounding the release, the series failed to break any long-term records for Netflix. Schofield’s criticism is sharp: “What have we really learned from the docuseries? Besides the fact that they wanted to leave the monarchy, the message was lost in all the drama. Where’s the content that’s going to inspire people or create lasting change?”
Meghan Markle’s Business Acumen: A Missed Opportunity?
When it comes to business decisions, Schofield argues that Meghan Markle has failed to capitalize on her platform and celebrity in the way many had hoped. With her platform on global issues like mental health and women’s rights, Schofield contends that Markle has not managed to turn that platform into a real business that can deliver consistent, high-quality content.
“The issue is, Meghan seems to be more focused on her image and personal branding than actually producing tangible results. It’s all about the narrative, not the action,” Schofield commented. “If she wants to be a businesswoman with the same level of influence as Oprah or Beyoncé, she’s going to need more than just a couple of fluff pieces. She needs to produce real impact.”
Moreover, Schofield pointed out that the Archewell Foundation and Archewell Productions seem to lack clear direction, structure, and a consistent output of work. “You need more than just a feel-good message,” she added. “You need a track record, and right now, Meghan’s track record is, frankly, underwhelming.”
The Future of Archewell and Netflix: Will Meghan Find Her Footing?
As Netflix continues to struggle with its own declining subscriber numbers, Meghan Markle’s fate with the streaming giant is in question. The pressure is mounting for both her and Prince Harry to deliver compelling content that matches the massive financial investment made by Netflix.
Schofield concludes, “At this point, it’s all about what’s next. If Meghan wants to prove that she’s more than just a celebrity influencer, she needs to deliver real content, not just personal drama. Netflix must be hoping for something more substantial if they want to see a return on their investment.”
Will Meghan Markle be able to turn the ship around and deliver on the promise of her Netflix deal? Or will she become another example of how even the biggest names in Hollywood can struggle in the competitive world of content creation? As the pressure mounts on the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, their next move will be crucial in determining if they can truly become the media moguls they aspire to be.
Conclusion: A Test for Meghan Markle’s Business Legacy
Meghan Markle’s business journey—particularly with Netflix and Archewell Productions—has been far from smooth sailing. While she has the potential to succeed, the question remains: Can she break free from her image-based brand and turn her charitable endeavors into a truly profitable and influential business? The answer could redefine her future and solidify her place in the business world or see her aspirations falter.
