SOUTH PARK’S SENSATIONAL RETURN: THE DUCHESS’S TWERK HELL
Hollywood is abuzz with the most anticipated sequel of the decade – not a Marvel blockbuster, but the potential return of South Park to mercilessly skewer the Duke and Duchess of Montecito! After their last scathing takedown, “The Worldwide Privacy Tour,” left audiences roaring with laughter, the satirical cartoon masterminds Trey Parker and Matt Stone are reportedly eyeing a second bite at the royal cherry, and this time, Meghan Markle’s now-infamous delivery ward twerking video is the prime target!
The Daily Mail reports that Paramount is playing coy, “remaining tight-lipped” about the burgeoning calls for a new South Park episode featuring Meghan Markle and Prince Harry. But sources close to the production suggest the material is simply “too good” to ignore. The 2023 episode hilariously mocked their paradoxical demands for privacy while simultaneously embarking on a relentless publicity blitz for Prince Harry’s memoir, Spare. It featured a cartoon “Prince of Canada” and his wife carrying banners emblazoned with “Respect Our Privacy,” a slogan they screamed at anyone who dared to look their way.
Now, fans are demanding a glorious follow-up, dreaming up titles like “Respectile Pregnancy” in response to Meghan’s latest social media foray. “What about this isn’t 100% South Park fodder?” one fan quipped on X, while another simply pitched: “Meghan Markle twerking, respectile privacy movie.” Speculation is rife that producers are already “creating storyboards” for the projected episode.
“Can you imagine what South Park is going to do with that? It’s going to be hilarious!” exclaimed a thrilled commentator. “This is, I mean, I know Megan and Harry, I think at one time they tried to prevent it like with threaten it with a lawsuit or something, but they… it’s going to be brutal!” Indeed, with the sheer volume of “content” the Sussexes have provided since their last appearance, the new episode promises to be “much bigger and better.”
THE MONTECITO MELTDOWN: MEGHAN’S PODCAST PLUMMETS
The potential South Park sequel comes hot on the heels of another colossal failure for the Duchess: the quiet axing of her highly-publicized podcast, “Confessions of a Female Founder.” Though Meghan spun the narrative that she was “axing it because she was… really wanting to focus on the business,” the numbers tell a different, more humiliating story.
Newsweek delivered the brutal truth this week: “Meghan Markle podcast loses in the charts to her biggest critics.” The Duchess of Sussex’s “Confessions of a Female Founder,” launched on April 8th, saw its final episode drop on June 3rd. While it briefly hit second place among Apple podcasts and hovered around 21st on Spotify, it “quickly slipped down the charts after the first two episodes.” By April 12th, it had dropped out of Spotify’s top 100 altogether, and by April 26th, it had fallen out of Apple’s top 200.
The most delicious irony? Meghan’s podcast was routinely outperformed by her most vocal critics. Political commentators like Tucker Carlson, who famously called Piers Morgan losing his job for doubting Meghan’s suicidal thoughts “the most insane thing I’ve ever seen,” consistently landed in the top 10 on Spotify. Candace Owens, who denounced Meghan and Harry as “inauthentic ambulance chasers” for visiting a disaster zone, was often in the top 10 while Meghan languished at 21st. Even Joe Rogan, a past target of the Sussexes, consistently dominated the top spots.
“Oh my good, it’s just so great isn’t it? I just love seeing it because it really shows how Megan has no power, she has no sustainability, she has… she doesn’t have the ‘it’ factor,” revelled a panelist. “Even with her connection to the royal family… you can’t even get in the top rating of people who are talking negatively about you!”
THE AUTHENTICITY FARCE: WHY MEGHAN’S BRAND IS CRUMBLING
The podcast debacle only further exposes the chasm between Meghan’s carefully curated image and the public’s perception. During her interview on the Emma Greed Day podcast, Meghan offered a dizzying display of “mental arithmetic and all of the gymnastics” to explain away her podcast’s demise, claiming she needed to “focus on my business” and “spread thin is my jam.”
“Lies, lies, lies, lies, lies!” cried one disgusted commentator. “Does she really think that we’re believing this? Does she really believe that this is authentic? It is the opposite. That is the whole reason why we don’t support her ’cause we see fake, fake, fake!”
Critics argue that Meghan’s refusal to confront her failures directly is her undoing. “You bombed at it, it wasn’t good, people didn’t really watch it after like the third, fourth episode, just say that and just say, ‘you know, okay, I’m gonna try something else now!'”
The fundamental problem, they argue, is Meghan’s lack of “sustainability” and “authenticity.” “People will watch the first time, maybe the second time, but after that, they’re getting rid of you, they are kicking you to the curb, girl, and they don’t want to hear you,” a commentator passionately asserted. “They want to hear the people that are going to check you, who are going to keep talking about you and your behavior.”
THE UNCOMFORTABLE TRUTH: A LACK OF ACCOUNTABILITY
The criticism extends beyond Meghan to those who enable her “inauthentic” narrative. Emma Greed Day, the podcast host, faced scorn for being “prepared to sit there and point blank lie” about the podcast’s supposed success. “You know that’s a lie… you just lost all your credibility,” was the blunt assessment, citing the podcast’s abysmal 71% dislike rating.
The stark contrast was drawn to individuals who, when “cancelled,” embraced difficult truths. “Come and talk, Megan, about what’s really happened,” urged the host. “But that means dealing with uncomfortable truth, which you are not prepared to deal with head on.” He recounted his own experience of being “cancelled,” sitting for lengthy interviews where “nothing is off limits” to address “false allegations.”
The consensus is damning: Meghan and Harry “don’t want to recognize the things that make her uncomfortable. You have to sit in these uncomfortable positions and places to get anywhere to move forward.” Until they confront their past behaviour, their “poking at the royal family,” and their own missteps, their ventures – from Netflix series to brand launches – are doomed to fail.
“We’re going to watch you do the next thing, season two of Netflix, Megan, and we’re going to watch you fail, because that’s what you’re good at,” concluded a commentator with brutal honesty. “Wake up out of your stupidness and understand the problem, okay? You have a problem, okay, of being unauthentic, you’re just not good people, and you don’t get it yet!”
The stage is set for an epic showdown, not just in Hollywood cartoons, but in the ongoing battle for public perception, where authenticity, not carefully choreographed spin, ultimately reigns supreme.
