Hollywood Ability Office Manager Casts Doubt on Meghan Markle’s Talent
A Hollywood Ability Office supervisor has questioned Meghan Markle’s talent following the news of her split from podcast partner Spotify.
Jeremy Zimmer, the CEO of United Talent Agency (UTA), made headlines recently when he stated that Meghan Markle was not an extraordinary sound ability or any type of talent for that matter.
This comes after the Duchess’ podcast production company, Archewell Audio, announced its departure from Spotify, despite only releasing 13 episodes over three years as part of a lavish deal signed in 2020.
Zimmer, who has been focusing on sound at UTA, emphasized that popularity does not equate to greatness.
His comments are particularly noteworthy as they come just weeks after Meghan signed with rival firm William Morris Endeavor (WME).
Trending:
On April 28, WME announced that they now represent Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, in all areas.
The agency will focus on various projects, including film and TV production, brand partnerships, and more.
Meghan joins a roster of stars that includes tennis legend Serena Williams and late-night host Stephen Colbert.
In 2022, the Duchess expressed her desire to expand her skills behind the camera through her company, Archewell Creations, with Prince Harry.
She aimed to produce lighthearted comedies for the screen.
However, Zimmer’s remarks come at a challenging time for the California-based royals, as they have faced public criticism since their split from Spotify.
Following the announcement, Bill Simmons, Spotify’s head of podcast development, criticized the couple on his own podcast.
He referred to them as “F-scammers” and expressed regret for not being involved in their departure conversation.
Simmons revealed that he had personal contact with Prince Harry and teased a story about their encounter.
He stated, “I wish I had been associated with the Meghan and Harry leave Spotify discussion.
That’s the podcast we should have sent off with them.
I must get tamed one evening and recount the narrative of the Zoom I had with Harry to help out him with a podcast thought.
It’s one of my best stories.
F-them, the frauds.”
During their time with Spotify, Meghan and Harry produced one joint event show called “Paradigms” in 2022.
The series aimed to challenge and undermine the labels that hold women back.
It ran for 12 episodes, with a one-month break following the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
The show featured interviews with celebrity guests such as Mariah Carey and Paris Hilton.
While the episodes faced criticism from the British press, they received significant attention and led to two notable industry wins for the Duchess.
In December, “Paradigms” won the People’s Choice Award in the Pop Podcast 2022 category, surpassing previous winners “Anything Goes with Emma Chamberlain” and the immensely popular “Call Her Daddy” hosted by Alex Cooper.
In the spring, Meghan was announced as a recipient of the prestigious Gracie Award for top entertainment podcast host by the Alliance for Women in Media Foundation.
These achievements may assist Meghan and Harry in securing future media deals.
However, the couple continues to collaborate with streaming giant Netflix, with whom they signed a deal around the same time as Spotify in 2020.
Their first docuseries with Netflix, released in December 2022, depicted their love story and the circumstances surrounding their departure from the royal family.
A follow-up series, titled “Live to Lead,” based on insightful interviews with high-profile figures, is set to be released soon.
Additionally, the couple has another project confirmed for release this year, “Heart of Invictus,” a series showcasing veterans competing at the Invictus Games, scheduled to air this summer.
It remains to be seen how these recent developments will impact Meghan and Harry’s future in the media industry.
Despite the skepticism expressed by Zimmer and the criticism from Simmons, their previous successes and continued collaborations suggest that they may still have promising opportunities ahead.
