Why are celebrities demanding privacy?
So if you guys have watched the show for a while now, then you probably know that I like patterns. When I look for things on social media to cover on the show, I like seeing repetition, I like seeing things bubbling up in a grassroots way. And I think I've talked about my, like, chat that I have with myself before where I just send myself stories and posts from X and TikToks and all of these things that I know are somehow kind of connected but I'm waiting for the stories to come together. And today we have yet another pattern that I have been noticing on social media and more specifically in celebrity culture. And that pattern would be celebrities and influencers demanding privacy and then berating us for not respecting their boundaries and privacy and then doing the exact opposite and never, ever, ever getting out of our faces. And I am sure because you all are very smart individuals, you know the person that has inspired this episode right now, today.
Obviously, that would be my good old friend, Meghan Markle. Even though Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, or Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, as she's wanting us all to call her now, even though she left the royal family, even though they have led the charge on their privacy world tour, they are far from the only public figure who has done this charade, has done this dance of the privacy, and the no, I don't want privacy, and pay attention to me, and you're not paying attention to me, even though I want privacy. They've fallen into this hypocritical trap of begging for one thing and then doing another, and basically... The public is done. We're saying we're tired. We're seeing through it. We don't care anymore. And that is what we're witnessing with the response of Megan's new show on Netflix.
And like we talked about last month with celebrities and celebrity culture, we are simply unwilling as a society and culture to play their mind games anymore. We are tapped out, we've seen through the facade, we've, you know, the veil has been pulled back, and we're just done. We're seeing hypocrisy for what it is. And we also need to talk about fame in general and how fame drives people to act this way and what we all, as normal individuals, can learn from it. And to help tell this story and round out this idea, I called up one of the most prolific tabloid reporters and celebrity biographers from the last couple of decades who, guys, I think you will just adore because he is hysterical. But before we get into this story, if you want ad-free episodes and a weekly advice video for me called Dear Brett. And guys, I wanna let you know that this is the last week that you can order my exclusive launch merch. This is the merch that we just created for the launch of the Brett Cooper Show. It was always gonna be limited, so we are closing out the sale.
So if you have not gotten shirts like this or the hats that are behind me on my beautiful set right now, this is your last opportunity. It is linked below in the description and on that sweet little carousel. So obviously, because I promised you this on social media, if you don't follow me on Instagram, I was posting this on my story. We need to start with Megan. She just released a new show on Netflix. I think it's called With Love, Megan, like the ending of a letter. And it is truly, truly terrible. Genuinely. And I like fluff shows like that. I like lifestyle shows. I like kind of cooking and hosting shows. I love reality TV. You guys know that. That's why I like politics because it reminds me of reality TV. But this, guys, it was so boring.
And it is being received terribly. Here are just a couple of the headlines. This is from Time Magazine. This is not even a tabloid that hates Meghan Markle. This is Time Magazine. And they said, Netflix's With Love Meghan is a royal primer on entertaining that couldn't be more boring. This next one is from The Telegraph, and they said that the Duchess of Sussex's new Netflix series is an exercise in narcissism filled with extravagant brunches, celebrity pals, and business plugs. And this last one is from Fox News, and they wrote, Meghan Markle's Netflix show, Inauthentic, depicts Duchess as a cringey Stepford wife.
