WEBVTT - Jam is my Jam 0:00:02.840 --> 0:00:05.760 Hello, and welcome to Outspoken. It's your dose of the 0:00:05.840 --> 0:00:09.760 hottest influencer and pop culture news twice a week. I'm 0:00:09.800 --> 0:00:13.000 Amy Torber and coming up on today's show as she 0:00:13.119 --> 0:00:16.680 binds addresses the most persistent rumor to ever follow her, 0:00:17.040 --> 0:00:22.000 Megan Markle's lifestyle rebrand and Our Friday Debrief. But first, 0:00:22.040 --> 0:00:25.800 Anna Paul's nonchalant return to social media has been marred 0:00:26.000 --> 0:00:29.680 by fresh allegations from Mikayla Testa. Before we get into 0:00:29.680 --> 0:00:33.120 those claims, Kate, how did Anna mark her return well? 0:00:33.159 --> 0:00:36.199 She returned to TikTok by sharing three new videos, and 0:00:36.200 --> 0:00:38.720 as we've come to expect from Anna, she hasn't been 0:00:38.800 --> 0:00:41.839 lying low at home. Instead, she's been jet setting around 0:00:41.840 --> 0:00:44.320 the world. This time she was in La and in 0:00:44.400 --> 0:00:46.960 the videos, Anna documented her day at a theme park 0:00:47.000 --> 0:00:49.879 as well as a night out clubbing. Now, interestingly, in 0:00:49.920 --> 0:00:54.120 those videos, Anna showed herself getting drunk, despite previously telling 0:00:54.120 --> 0:00:55.280 her audience she didn't drink. 0:00:55.360 --> 0:00:56.480 She seemed kind of different. 0:00:56.520 --> 0:00:58.400 There was something I couldn't quite put my finger on. 0:00:58.480 --> 0:01:00.560 I had to look in the comments section, and a 0:01:00.560 --> 0:01:03.880 lot of followers said that her tone of voice was different. 0:01:03.960 --> 0:01:07.640 She wasn't talking as childlife. Someone said her baby voice 0:01:07.720 --> 0:01:09.959 was toned down, and when I saw that, I was like, yeah, 0:01:10.000 --> 0:01:12.440 you're right, But she almost sounded sad as well. 0:01:12.520 --> 0:01:13.720 Yeah, that's what I think it was. 0:01:13.760 --> 0:01:15.920 I think she was almost second guessing how she was 0:01:15.959 --> 0:01:18.120 meant to portray herself in the video because she has 0:01:18.160 --> 0:01:21.160 been slammed so much. There was a notable absent tee 0:01:21.160 --> 0:01:23.959 from her video, which was her brother Attis Paul. A 0:01:24.000 --> 0:01:25.959 lot of people referred to him as he who must 0:01:26.000 --> 0:01:29.479 not be named now. Her boyfriend Amrik, and some of 0:01:29.520 --> 0:01:33.000 her American friends did make the cut in the VIDEOO Now, 0:01:33.000 --> 0:01:36.000 while she was desperately trying to pretend like nothing had happened, 0:01:36.000 --> 0:01:38.160 the commenters were there to remind her that things had 0:01:38.280 --> 0:01:42.160 dramatically changed. Many people said they actually felt gaslit from 0:01:42.240 --> 0:01:45.120 the video. Every second comment I saw was saying it 0:01:45.200 --> 0:01:47.400 made me feel broke. Well, in that defense, how is 0:01:47.440 --> 0:01:49.800 she supposed to make a return? She already put out 0:01:49.800 --> 0:01:53.600 the video where she acknowledged Michayla's claims. Yes, we thought 0:01:53.600 --> 0:01:56.040 that that video was a huge flop. But if I 0:01:56.160 --> 0:01:59.000 was her publicist, I would have said, just return as normal, Yeah, 0:01:59.040 --> 0:02:02.880 move on, like that's what anyone else would have done. 0:02:03.120 --> 0:02:05.040 It was so awkward, though, because you could tell she 0:02:05.080 --> 0:02:07.200 was trying to be extra relatable. At one point, she 0:02:07.240 --> 0:02:10.160 showed herself sitting on the toilet struggling to find toilet paper. 0:02:10.200 --> 0:02:12.359 I'm like, this did not need to make the cart well. 0:02:12.360 --> 0:02:16.160 On Wednesday, Michayla posted her first TikTok since her explosive 0:02:16.200 --> 0:02:19.919 allegation video. It's hard to believe that was three weeks ago, 0:02:20.200 --> 0:02:23.040 and in the video, she referenced the tell All podcast 0:02:23.120 --> 0:02:25.360 about the polls that she's currently producing. 0:02:25.639 --> 0:02:26.600 This is what she said. 0:02:27.800 --> 0:02:29.520 I wanted to wait until the podcast to release this 0:02:29.560 --> 0:02:32.080 information because it's just so sad, sick and fucked up. 0:02:32.080 --> 0:02:34.760 And I just am afraid that you guys aren't ready 0:02:34.800 --> 0:02:37.560 to hear something like this because it's very bold, and 0:02:37.600 --> 0:02:40.320 it's very dark and deep and disgusting. But I just 0:02:40.360 --> 0:02:42.880 can't wait another minute to say it because it's genuinely 0:02:42.919 --> 0:02:45.800 concerning me, considering the fact that she's just bought a 0:02:45.840 --> 0:02:48.480 new bird and I'm talking about Anna Pool here. 0:02:49.760 --> 0:02:53.320 And this is why Michayla Testa is so successful on TikTok. 0:02:53.520 --> 0:02:56.760 What a hook to drag people in. It's more exciting 0:02:56.800 --> 0:02:58.919 than the hook about Anna Paul being the theme park. 0:02:58.840 --> 0:02:59.600 Yes, very much. 0:02:59.800 --> 0:03:02.040 Now, before we dive in further, we want to reiterate 0:03:02.080 --> 0:03:06.320 that these are unsubstantiated allegations and we're just merely discussing them. 0:03:06.360 --> 0:03:08.400 We're not saying that they're true, but we're just reporting 0:03:08.440 --> 0:03:11.239 on what Michayla has said. Now, Mikayla went on to 0:03:11.320 --> 0:03:14.440 allege that Anna mistreated her birds, leaving them to quote 0:03:14.520 --> 0:03:17.480 rot in their cages. She backed up the claims by 0:03:17.520 --> 0:03:20.359 saying it was all documented and she witnessed it herself 0:03:20.400 --> 0:03:23.200 while living with Anna. Mikayla went on to claim that 0:03:23.200 --> 0:03:25.880 Anna purchased a new bird every six months, and at 0:03:25.880 --> 0:03:29.240 one stage had five of them. According to Mikayla, Anna's 0:03:29.240 --> 0:03:32.640 relationship with the birds changed when she bought her hairless cats. 0:03:32.720 --> 0:03:36.280 This is what she said when she bought those hairless cats. 0:03:36.280 --> 0:03:39.000 I would hear her say, I can't wait for these 0:03:39.000 --> 0:03:42.160 birds to die because it is hard having cats and 0:03:42.200 --> 0:03:43.640 birds at the same time. 0:03:44.640 --> 0:03:47.200 Michayla also went on to allege that the way Anna 0:03:47.240 --> 0:03:49.840 had treated the birds made her sick to her stomach, 0:03:50.120 --> 0:03:52.000 and that she was the only one in the family 0:03:52.080 --> 0:03:53.600 to try and entertain them. 0:03:53.840 --> 0:03:55.320 This is more of what she said. 0:03:56.240 --> 0:03:58.680 She buys animals for content and then neglects them. We 0:03:58.760 --> 0:04:00.440 know that we can see through. 0:04:00.320 --> 0:04:02.200 The content now. 0:04:02.200 --> 0:04:04.920 In terms of timing, Mikayla said she felt compelled to 0:04:04.960 --> 0:04:07.800 share the story after learning that Anna had purchased a 0:04:07.880 --> 0:04:10.960 new bird following the death of her other bird, Quakesy. 0:04:11.160 --> 0:04:13.440 This is what she said, So. 0:04:13.480 --> 0:04:16.520 We know the bird rotten in a cage this entire time. 0:04:17.440 --> 0:04:18.360 She said, Oh my god. 0:04:18.400 --> 0:04:19.640 Yeah, by the way, QUICKSI died. 0:04:20.240 --> 0:04:21.760 I didn't tell you guys, because I was so sad. 0:04:21.839 --> 0:04:24.160 You weren't sad, Anna, You were not fucking sad. 0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:25.480 You did not care about that bird. 0:04:25.480 --> 0:04:26.760 And you didn't care about the rest of the birds 0:04:26.760 --> 0:04:28.320 that you hired, because you had five of them, and 0:04:28.360 --> 0:04:31.200 they all sat in cages and I entertained them. And 0:04:31.240 --> 0:04:33.599 when I wasn't around, I know, for damn sure, nobody 0:04:33.640 --> 0:04:35.599 fucking cared for them. Only your mother changed the bird 0:04:35.640 --> 0:04:37.240 seat and the water every fricking week. 0:04:38.320 --> 0:04:41.400 These are some pretty big allegations. It's quite interesting because 0:04:41.640 --> 0:04:45.920 Mikayla also claimed that Addis's most recent ex girlfriend backed 0:04:46.000 --> 0:04:49.360 up her allegations, saying she never saw the birds out 0:04:49.360 --> 0:04:52.760 of their cages. Interesting that she is in correspondence with 0:04:52.800 --> 0:04:55.599 Addis's latest ex as well. I wonder how the poles 0:04:55.600 --> 0:04:57.960 would be feeling about this video because it was straight 0:04:58.000 --> 0:05:00.960 off the back of Anna returning to TikTok. It's also 0:05:01.080 --> 0:05:03.760 very clear from this TikTok that Mikayla is bringing out 0:05:03.800 --> 0:05:07.359 this podcast basically air the poll's dirty laundry. Where do 0:05:07.400 --> 0:05:09.520 we think Addis is? I mean, it sounds like he's 0:05:09.520 --> 0:05:11.440 in hiding. Do you think he's gone on this trip 0:05:11.480 --> 0:05:14.039 to La Oh? I reckon he's in la but he's 0:05:14.080 --> 0:05:16.479 just not featuring in any of the videos. He's lying 0:05:16.560 --> 0:05:18.960 low In terms of her podcast, I always thought it 0:05:19.080 --> 0:05:21.719 was to slam the polls, and I am patiently waiting. 0:05:21.760 --> 0:05:23.880 But Mikayla did say two weeks ago it was going 0:05:23.920 --> 0:05:25.840 to be out in a week. It's already late. When 0:05:25.880 --> 0:05:27.880 do we think she's dropping? I reckon it's out late 0:05:27.920 --> 0:05:30.400 because the lawyers would be having to look over it now. 0:05:30.440 --> 0:05:33.760 Anna is yet to respond to the allegations Michayla made 0:05:33.839 --> 0:05:35.400 about her treatment of the birds. 0:05:35.400 --> 0:05:36.680 Will wait and see. I don't think she's going to 0:05:36.720 --> 0:05:37.560 comment on anything. 0:05:37.760 --> 0:05:39.960 Well. A lot of the comments on her new tiktoks 0:05:40.000 --> 0:05:42.760 were about the birds. People were demanding an answer, why 0:05:42.800 --> 0:05:44.960 can I feel another remix coming if she does comment 0:05:45.000 --> 0:05:47.279 about it, lom of times I have that song that 0:05:47.360 --> 0:05:55.040 remix in my head is crazy, okay. Megan Michael has 0:05:55.080 --> 0:05:59.440 announced on Instagram that she's renaming her lifestyle brand after 0:05:59.480 --> 0:06:02.279 an onslaught of criticism over the name and a string 0:06:02.320 --> 0:06:06.800 of copyright issues. American Riviera Orchard will now be called 0:06:06.960 --> 0:06:10.080 as Ever. The Duchess of Sussex. Has also dropped that 0:06:10.160 --> 0:06:13.440 streaming giant Netflix aren't just a partner in her upcoming 0:06:13.480 --> 0:06:16.960 lifestyle show, but also a new partner in her business 0:06:17.000 --> 0:06:19.839 now Sophie. Meghan made the admission in a short. 0:06:19.560 --> 0:06:21.040 Real shot in her backyard. 0:06:21.360 --> 0:06:24.440 I was so excited to see Meghan actually talking to 0:06:24.480 --> 0:06:26.840 the camera in selfie mode. Maybe she listened to the 0:06:26.880 --> 0:06:30.000 podcast a couple of weeks ago, because since she has 0:06:30.120 --> 0:06:33.880 returned to Instagram, she has been dissed over her style 0:06:33.920 --> 0:06:36.320 of posting, with critics saying that she's stuck in the 0:06:36.360 --> 0:06:40.680 twenty tens and she hasn't adapted to the TikTok generation. Well, 0:06:40.680 --> 0:06:43.520 her video did have some millennial elements to it. There 0:06:43.600 --> 0:06:46.120 was quite a massive millennial pause at the start where 0:06:46.120 --> 0:06:48.000 she was trying to work her camera and Prince Harry 0:06:48.080 --> 0:06:50.560 was helping her. That's the bit that didn't really make 0:06:50.600 --> 0:06:53.120 sense because, as I said, she was speaking to the 0:06:53.160 --> 0:06:56.720 camera in selfie mode. But it did begin with the 0:06:56.760 --> 0:06:59.680 Prince Harry saying it's recording, which didn't really make sense 0:06:59.720 --> 0:07:02.719 because why would he turn the camera on if it 0:07:02.760 --> 0:07:04.960 was in selfimus. It's not like it was on a tripod. 0:07:05.040 --> 0:07:07.080 I mean, I was happy to lap it all up. 0:07:07.120 --> 0:07:08.920 I had a little shriek when I heard Harry in 0:07:08.960 --> 0:07:09.480 the background. 0:07:09.480 --> 0:07:10.120 I'm like, I love it. 0:07:10.200 --> 0:07:12.520 I love that they dropped that in. It was obviously 0:07:12.560 --> 0:07:14.240 strategic and I brought into it. 0:07:14.360 --> 0:07:14.520 Oh. 0:07:14.560 --> 0:07:16.679 I love the little cameo. I want to see Prince 0:07:16.720 --> 0:07:19.440 Harry wellby can and obviously there's been so many rumors 0:07:19.440 --> 0:07:22.600 about the couple separating and this big divorce, so I 0:07:22.600 --> 0:07:24.800 feel like they like to include Harry where they can. 0:07:24.880 --> 0:07:27.120 The funniest thing is so many people have been critiquing 0:07:27.160 --> 0:07:30.840 this video and especially this opening sequence, and everyone's been saying, 0:07:30.880 --> 0:07:33.520 you could tell they tried to be so nonchalant about it, 0:07:33.600 --> 0:07:35.920 but it came across that it was very much planned, 0:07:35.960 --> 0:07:38.680 like let's feature Harry and then we'll have him passing 0:07:38.720 --> 0:07:41.360 over the phone. Yeah. Well, she did cop some criticism 0:07:41.440 --> 0:07:43.480 as well for the amount of edits that were in 0:07:43.480 --> 0:07:46.280 this video because people said that she was trying to 0:07:46.320 --> 0:07:49.440 appear authentic by speaking to the camera, but it was 0:07:49.480 --> 0:07:51.600 clear she wasn't able to speak to the camera in 0:07:51.720 --> 0:07:54.400 one take, so it kind of didn't feel as authentic 0:07:54.440 --> 0:07:57.560 as I think she hoped it would. They watched TikTok like, yeah, 0:07:57.640 --> 0:07:59.520 if you watch any of the big TikTok is like 0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:01.840 India Clean, And when she did the announce about her 0:08:02.000 --> 0:08:04.360 nose job, that was cut up so much because he 0:08:04.400 --> 0:08:05.080 had to fit. 0:08:04.960 --> 0:08:05.800 It into the minute. 0:08:05.800 --> 0:08:08.080 And ah, yeah, I must be so used to watching 0:08:08.120 --> 0:08:10.360 people on social media and YouTube because I didn't even 0:08:10.360 --> 0:08:12.680 notice the CODs at all. I loved that she was 0:08:12.800 --> 0:08:15.560 very casual, so she was wearing just a white shirt 0:08:15.600 --> 0:08:17.840 and jeans. She had very minimal makeup on, and her 0:08:17.840 --> 0:08:20.280 hair was pulled back. And I think that that was 0:08:20.440 --> 0:08:23.480 a strategy because she has been told that she's too 0:08:23.600 --> 0:08:26.560 put together, you know, she she needed to be relaxed. 0:08:26.600 --> 0:08:28.320 She was in her own environment at home. 0:08:28.400 --> 0:08:31.559 Well, anytime she puts out a video, everyone is so quick, 0:08:31.680 --> 0:08:34.160 like the Daily Mail to actually price all of the 0:08:34.200 --> 0:08:36.079 items of clothing that she's wearing. I was like, that's 0:08:36.080 --> 0:08:38.600 a seven thousand dollar bracelet. This is her ten thousand 0:08:38.640 --> 0:08:39.160 dollar shirt. 0:08:39.240 --> 0:08:40.200 Now let's dive. 0:08:40.040 --> 0:08:42.559 Into Meghan's announcement because it was quite a big one, 0:08:42.600 --> 0:08:45.480 and it appears that she has been under pressure to 0:08:45.559 --> 0:08:49.000 reveal this rebrand because there's been news outlets who. 0:08:48.840 --> 0:08:49.920 Have been threatening to. 0:08:49.800 --> 0:08:52.880 Get in before her, and now that Megan is active 0:08:52.920 --> 0:08:55.240 on her socials, it's really a way for her to 0:08:55.240 --> 0:08:58.120 get in first and to try to control the narrative. 0:08:58.520 --> 0:09:02.079 Let's throw to what Meghan said, Cat's out of the bag. 0:09:02.120 --> 0:09:04.120 I'm shocked we've kept this a secret for so long. 0:09:04.200 --> 0:09:06.760 In two weeks, my show is coming out, which I'm 0:09:06.800 --> 0:09:10.320 so excited for, and also my business, which I think 0:09:10.360 --> 0:09:13.280 there's been a lot of curiosity about. And last year 0:09:13.800 --> 0:09:15.760 I had thought, you know what American reviewer that sounds 0:09:15.800 --> 0:09:18.240 like such a great name. It's my neighborhood. It's a 0:09:18.320 --> 0:09:21.440 nickname for Santa Barbara. But it limited me to things 0:09:21.480 --> 0:09:25.880 that were just manufactured and grown in this area. Then 0:09:26.120 --> 0:09:28.920 Netflix came on not just as my partner in the show, 0:09:28.960 --> 0:09:32.839 but as my partner in my business, which was huge 0:09:32.880 --> 0:09:35.960 as I thought about it, and I've been waiting for 0:09:36.040 --> 0:09:37.960 a moment to share a name that I had secured 0:09:38.040 --> 0:09:40.960 in twenty twenty two, and this is the moment. And 0:09:41.040 --> 0:09:44.040 it's called as Ever. As Ever essentially means as it's 0:09:44.040 --> 0:09:47.280 always been. And if you followed me since twenty fourteen 0:09:47.440 --> 0:09:49.520 with the TIG, you know I've always loved cooking and 0:09:49.559 --> 0:09:51.800 crafting and gardening. This is what I do and I 0:09:51.800 --> 0:09:53.360 haven't been able to share it with you in the 0:09:53.400 --> 0:09:56.040 same way for the past few years, but now I can. 0:09:56.000 --> 0:09:57.960 So as things are starting to trickle out there, I 0:09:57.960 --> 0:10:00.000 wanted you to hear it from me first. Of course, 0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:02.360 course there will be fruit preserves. I think we're all 0:10:02.360 --> 0:10:04.480 clear at this point that jam is my jam. But 0:10:04.559 --> 0:10:06.640 there's so many more products that I just love that 0:10:06.679 --> 0:10:08.280 I use in my home, and now it's time to 0:10:08.280 --> 0:10:09.800 share it with you. So I can't wait for you 0:10:09.840 --> 0:10:10.240 to see it. 0:10:11.160 --> 0:10:13.280 There is a lot to dissect there. I want to 0:10:13.320 --> 0:10:17.040 talk first about the rebrand. As we heard Megan said 0:10:17.080 --> 0:10:21.080 that the name American Riviera Orchard limited her to only 0:10:21.120 --> 0:10:24.800 selling products that originated in Santa Barbara, So that's why 0:10:24.880 --> 0:10:28.120 they made the decision to rebrand to as Ever, which 0:10:28.200 --> 0:10:30.800 I personally think is a way better name anyway, it 0:10:30.920 --> 0:10:34.200 kind of gave me fairytale vibes, which originally when she 0:10:34.240 --> 0:10:36.640 started dating Prince Harry, everyone was like, oh my gosh, 0:10:36.640 --> 0:10:39.360 she's a fairy princess. And she said that she has 0:10:39.360 --> 0:10:42.200 actually had the name as Ever in the pipeline since 0:10:42.200 --> 0:10:44.959 twenty twenty two, and it's how she has signed off 0:10:45.000 --> 0:10:45.440 on all. 0:10:45.280 --> 0:10:46.760 Of her Instagram posts. 0:10:46.840 --> 0:10:49.280 You would also assume that maybe this is how she 0:10:49.440 --> 0:10:52.400 signs off her personal correspondence, whether it's emails to stuff. 0:10:52.440 --> 0:10:54.959 So it seems to be well, it seems to be 0:10:55.000 --> 0:10:58.000 a term that she actually uses and is authentic to her. 0:10:58.120 --> 0:11:00.400 I saw a lot of people on TikTok just how 0:11:00.440 --> 0:11:04.320 twatty the name was, like as Ever and it has 0:11:04.360 --> 0:11:08.480 a real americanism. Yeah, I mean it's a very earnest 0:11:08.640 --> 0:11:11.320 type of term. I thought her Netflix show would have 0:11:11.480 --> 0:11:14.160 the same name. But With Love is actually Hillary Duff's 0:11:14.160 --> 0:11:16.480 perfume brand. Maybe it was already. We don't want Hillary 0:11:16.480 --> 0:11:18.560 coming out and adding to her lawsuits. Well, if you 0:11:18.640 --> 0:11:21.400 think about it, though, as Ever and with Love are 0:11:21.480 --> 0:11:23.920 both as to sign off, so they sort of both 0:11:24.040 --> 0:11:24.600 pair together. 0:11:24.679 --> 0:11:25.200 Quite nice. 0:11:25.520 --> 0:11:28.840 It's a far better name than American riviera orchard. I mean, 0:11:28.880 --> 0:11:32.280 it doesn't particularly roll off the top. Now, what Megan 0:11:32.440 --> 0:11:36.360 didn't touch on in this video was the copyright issues 0:11:36.400 --> 0:11:39.600 that she's been having with the name American Riviera Orchard. 0:11:39.880 --> 0:11:43.320 So the trademark was rejected last year, and that is 0:11:43.360 --> 0:11:46.280 because you cannot have exclusive rights to the name of 0:11:46.320 --> 0:11:50.079 a place, and American Riviera is a commonly used place 0:11:50.160 --> 0:11:53.040 name to describe Santa Barbara, where she lives with Prince Harry. 0:11:53.120 --> 0:11:55.880 There were also other food companies complaining that the name 0:11:56.000 --> 0:11:58.160 was too similar to theirs, which is very common when 0:11:58.240 --> 0:12:00.360 a celebrity comes out with a brand. I saw it 0:12:00.559 --> 0:12:04.120 when Hailey Bieber released Rode. There were also complaints that 0:12:04.200 --> 0:12:07.360 the o in the logo didn't look enough like a letter, 0:12:07.880 --> 0:12:11.160 and people have said that Meghan has gaslighted her audience 0:12:11.200 --> 0:12:14.920 by not actually acknowledging that there were issues with this name. 0:12:15.360 --> 0:12:18.520 I actually think the spin she put on it was 0:12:18.559 --> 0:12:21.640 good because you have to be quite invested in Meghan 0:12:21.720 --> 0:12:24.119 Markele to know that there were all of these trademark 0:12:24.200 --> 0:12:28.120 issues and to be honest, who actually cares. Yeah, I 0:12:28.160 --> 0:12:30.600 personally didn't think that she needed to go into it. 0:12:30.600 --> 0:12:32.800 It's already out there in the news. If she made 0:12:32.840 --> 0:12:36.520 a point of commenting on the copyright issues during her video. 0:12:36.960 --> 0:12:39.440 The media would have been more likely to lead with 0:12:39.480 --> 0:12:42.720 that in their story about the rebrand. And I also 0:12:42.800 --> 0:12:45.520 think that two things can be true at once. Yes, 0:12:45.559 --> 0:12:48.000 she could have had all of these issues with the trademark, 0:12:48.280 --> 0:12:50.840 but she also could have felt like this name was 0:12:50.920 --> 0:12:51.840 more authentic to her. 0:12:51.880 --> 0:12:52.280 I mean, she. 0:12:52.240 --> 0:12:55.760 Copped a lot of backlash over the name American Riviera. 0:12:55.880 --> 0:12:58.400 She's had a year to think about it. Maybe she thought, well, 0:12:58.400 --> 0:13:00.640 fuck that this name is too difficult. I just think 0:13:00.679 --> 0:13:02.560 any video she would have put out would have been 0:13:02.600 --> 0:13:04.800 torn to shreds, and any decision she had made in 0:13:04.880 --> 0:13:07.240 terms of what to mention and what to leave out well. 0:13:07.280 --> 0:13:10.480 I think also if she had complained that she wasn't 0:13:10.480 --> 0:13:12.240 able to get the copyright, it would be like, Oh, 0:13:12.280 --> 0:13:15.240 she's so entitled and she just complains and bitches and moment, 0:13:15.880 --> 0:13:18.240 and they would have made it more of an issue saying, oh, 0:13:18.320 --> 0:13:20.199 they couldn't have even got their ducks in a row 0:13:20.240 --> 0:13:23.160 before they released this. I did like in the video 0:13:23.480 --> 0:13:26.880 that she referenced the Tig, which was her old lifestyle blog, 0:13:26.920 --> 0:13:29.360 because I think it was a really subtle way to 0:13:29.480 --> 0:13:32.439 remind her audience that she has worked in the lifestyle 0:13:32.480 --> 0:13:34.840 space before and she knows what she's doing. A lot 0:13:34.840 --> 0:13:36.560 of people picked up that there was a bit of 0:13:36.559 --> 0:13:39.520 a dig that she wasn't able to share about her 0:13:39.559 --> 0:13:43.600 love for crafting and gardening because of the Royal family. 0:13:43.640 --> 0:13:45.200 People were saying it was a bit of a burn 0:13:45.400 --> 0:13:47.679 to that. I think that the media is so quick 0:13:47.760 --> 0:13:51.000 to label anything as some sort of burn towards the 0:13:51.080 --> 0:13:53.160 Royal Family. She's probably just saying, look, I wasn't actually 0:13:53.160 --> 0:13:55.520 allowed to share on socials, but I want to remind 0:13:55.520 --> 0:13:57.599 you that these are all things that I genuinely and 0:13:57.720 --> 0:14:01.040 authentically enjoyed doing. I really liked how she. 0:14:01.160 --> 0:14:04.120 Joked in the video that jam is her jam and 0:14:04.360 --> 0:14:05.400 other people didn't like that. 0:14:05.440 --> 0:14:07.439 Well, I thought it was pretty cute because there's been 0:14:07.600 --> 0:14:11.520 so many media reports saying when are we getting the jam? 0:14:11.600 --> 0:14:13.240 And it makes sense as. 0:14:13.160 --> 0:14:15.240 To why we haven't got our hands on the jam 0:14:15.320 --> 0:14:17.680 yet because clearly there's been these issues with the name 0:14:18.000 --> 0:14:20.640 and also her new partnership, and also the fact that 0:14:20.640 --> 0:14:22.160 they're waiting for the Netflix show. 0:14:22.400 --> 0:14:23.320 Yeah, exactly. 0:14:23.640 --> 0:14:27.280 She has already sent out American Riviera Orchard Jam to 0:14:27.360 --> 0:14:31.080 her celebrity friends, which I'm sure are huge collector's items now. 0:14:31.080 --> 0:14:33.280 Could you imagine having one of these? Now they're all 0:14:33.280 --> 0:14:35.640 just celebrities that have got them anyway, Yeah, I don't 0:14:35.640 --> 0:14:38.400 think they'll be selling them on Facebook, Marketplace or anything now. 0:14:38.480 --> 0:14:40.880 The rebrand has come just a few weeks before the 0:14:40.960 --> 0:14:44.760 launch of Meghan's new Netflix series, and I was really 0:14:44.800 --> 0:14:47.920 shocked to hear that Netflix was joining Meghan as a 0:14:47.920 --> 0:14:51.720 partner on her new lifestyle brand, particularly because the media 0:14:51.840 --> 0:14:54.960 has been reporting for quite some time now that Netflix 0:14:55.040 --> 0:14:57.960 must be regretting it's one hundred million dollar contract with 0:14:58.040 --> 0:15:00.720 the couple, and that story really picked up a lot 0:15:00.720 --> 0:15:04.640 of traction after Harry's Polo documentary didn't do so well. 0:15:04.760 --> 0:15:06.040 Do you think this was a little bit of a 0:15:06.080 --> 0:15:09.280 sweetener from Harry and Meghan to Netflix, because a lot 0:15:09.280 --> 0:15:12.120 of people have been saying that Netflix definitely haven't gotten 0:15:12.200 --> 0:15:14.360 back a very good return on the one hundred million 0:15:14.360 --> 0:15:17.080 that they spent. Well potentially, but i'mis see it as 0:15:17.160 --> 0:15:20.600 that Netflix can see huge potential in Meghan and her 0:15:20.640 --> 0:15:23.280 brand and they want to take full advantage of what 0:15:23.320 --> 0:15:27.280 people are calling the Megan Effect. Because whilst Meghan does 0:15:27.360 --> 0:15:30.080 have a lot of people who hate her, online, and 0:15:30.120 --> 0:15:33.080 they're very vocal about that. She also has a huge 0:15:33.160 --> 0:15:36.480 population of women who are obsessed with her and her style, 0:15:36.840 --> 0:15:39.520 and this month that was reported that jewelry brand for 0:15:39.640 --> 0:15:43.520 Lancia Keys had an eleven thousand percent spike in sales 0:15:43.800 --> 0:15:47.360 after Meghan was spotted wearing their bracelet at the Invictus Games. 0:15:47.600 --> 0:15:50.000 So you can only imagine how nuts people will go 0:15:50.120 --> 0:15:51.800 for her own line of products. 0:15:51.840 --> 0:15:53.320 Do you think people are going to go crazy over 0:15:53.400 --> 0:15:54.360 jam though, Well, I. 0:15:54.280 --> 0:15:56.600 Think it would be more the homewares that she's spooking 0:15:56.680 --> 0:15:59.360 on her Netflix show. And when I first heard this, 0:15:59.440 --> 0:16:01.680 I was like, Wow, why would Netflix be interested in 0:16:01.760 --> 0:16:05.120 selling physical items? But actually, for a few years now, 0:16:05.240 --> 0:16:07.880 they have a Netflix shop front, which is very similar 0:16:07.920 --> 0:16:11.520 to the Amazon storefront where they sell products, So essentially 0:16:11.560 --> 0:16:14.440 people can watch Megan's show and shop directly from it. 0:16:14.480 --> 0:16:16.400 So I'm like, Oh, I like that photo frame that's 0:16:16.400 --> 0:16:18.200 actually from her store, I can buy it. 0:16:18.280 --> 0:16:18.480 Yeah. 0:16:18.560 --> 0:16:21.240 I was totally unaware that Netflix had its own shop 0:16:21.280 --> 0:16:23.640 front too, and I had a look, and they sell 0:16:24.080 --> 0:16:26.640 a lot of merch for different TV shows. It's all 0:16:26.720 --> 0:16:29.240 very tacky at the moment, So I really feel like 0:16:29.280 --> 0:16:32.240 this partnership is going to be very mutually beneficial for 0:16:32.320 --> 0:16:35.200 both parties because until now, I feel like hardly anyone 0:16:35.240 --> 0:16:37.200 knew they had a shop front. And I think that 0:16:37.240 --> 0:16:39.600 they're going to really lift their game and be more 0:16:39.640 --> 0:16:42.400 of a competitor for Amazon, seeing as they're going to 0:16:42.440 --> 0:16:45.520 have such a big brand like Megan's to sell. Yeah, 0:16:45.520 --> 0:16:47.320 and the fact that they can also make use of 0:16:47.360 --> 0:16:49.960 affiliate links now, so I think there'll be a lot 0:16:50.000 --> 0:16:52.680 of other celebrities wanting to get a taste of what 0:16:52.720 --> 0:16:55.760 Megan is going to now. The media have heavily been 0:16:55.840 --> 0:16:59.640 reporting on Megan's new website for as ever, because the 0:16:59.720 --> 0:17:02.600 bat ground of the website does feature a photo of 0:17:02.680 --> 0:17:06.359 Meghan and her daughter, Princess Lillabet. So they are running 0:17:06.400 --> 0:17:09.720 across a grass field, and it is very rare to 0:17:09.760 --> 0:17:12.640 see photos of Archie and Lila Bet. We haven't seen 0:17:12.720 --> 0:17:14.400 too much of them. I mean it is the back 0:17:14.400 --> 0:17:16.760 of her head. We can see that she's got beautiful 0:17:16.800 --> 0:17:19.919 ginger hair. I mean you can't really see much at all. 0:17:19.960 --> 0:17:21.680 I was like, oh, is that Lilybet and tried to 0:17:21.760 --> 0:17:24.480 zoom and it's just literally her hair. A few commentators 0:17:24.520 --> 0:17:26.760 have said that we are seeing in real time the 0:17:26.760 --> 0:17:30.640 modernization of Princess Labet and also Prince Archie. 0:17:30.400 --> 0:17:32.160 Because this is the first. 0:17:31.880 --> 0:17:35.960 Time that we are seeing Royal kids doing seemingly normal 0:17:36.040 --> 0:17:39.280 things with their parents on Instagram, but areing normal clothes 0:17:39.400 --> 0:17:41.560 that aren't in front of a paparazzi where it's like, oh, 0:17:41.600 --> 0:17:44.120 if we walk past you on our snow trip, can 0:17:44.160 --> 0:17:46.280 you fuck off and not take photos of us? It's 0:17:46.320 --> 0:17:49.720 actually the parents putting them forward. On Valentine's Day, Meghan 0:17:49.760 --> 0:17:52.320 actually featured Archie in one of her Instagram stories. I 0:17:52.320 --> 0:17:54.080 mean we only really saw the back of his head, 0:17:54.280 --> 0:17:56.480 but she was cutting up strawberries in the shape of 0:17:56.600 --> 0:17:59.160
