Reading from Matt Donnelly's piece published on March 17th, the Sussexes' perceived pattern, perceived, that must have been a lawyer's note because it's a pattern,

of selling repackaged versions of the same story about their exit from royal life has exhausted Netflix.

Quote, the mood in the building is, we're done, one Netflix insider tells Variety.

Their bedside manner, meaning Harry and Meghan, has ruffled feathers in meetings.

Meghan is said to, when she's on a Zoom meeting with Netflix execs, if something offends her or someone says something that meets with her displeasure, she just gets up and walks off.

She just gets up and walks off and she doesn't return for lengthy bouts of time.

Continuing from the variety piece, Robb,

Three insiders say Netflix chief Ted Sarandos is fed up with the pair, who, per two sources, have been known to text directly with the co-CEO about their projects, as do many A-listers who work with the streamer.

Rob, first of all, I want to ask you this.

is it really that common for talent to text with Ted Sarandos, one of the most powerful people in the entertainment industry directly?

Do you, I feel like this is just me, but I feel like this piece is trying to make that sound normal because we've all wondered why exactly Ted Sarandos has kept the malignant cultural cancer that is Meghan Markle around for so long.

What, tell me-

Stop it.

We're all 13-year-old girls at heart, are we not?

You know, this is incredible too, by the way, you mentioning the point person that Meghan had.

First of all, when you have issues like that, people like Meghan Markle, there's an apparatus around you and an apparatus around Netflix and a way of doing things.

You know, your agent or your point person says, hey, we're having a bit of difficulty here.

They bad cop, so you can always be good cop.

And that point person, by the by, I believe Megan had deputized to deal with the fallout over telling her father with his freshly amputated leg at Christmas time to fuck off.

She had a holiday Netflix special to promote.
