One Celebrity Guest Featured on Season 2 of Netflix’s ‘With Love, Meghan’ Has Fans Fuming
Season 2 of Meghan Markle‘s lifestyle show With Love, Meghan on Netflix now has a premiere date of Aug. 26. But the release of the trailer has turned some fans off because of an unpopular celebrity guest appearance.
The official description for the second season of With Love, Meghan reads: “Meghan returns with a fun and heartwarming new season, welcoming celebrity chefs, talented artists, and beloved friends for hands-on adventures filled with laughter and discovery. From playful cooking challenges to DIY projects, Meghan and her guests explore bold flavors, experiment with new techniques, and discover simple ways to add beauty to everyday life. It’s all about embracing playfulness over perfection and finding joy in creating together.”
Some of those celebrity friends making a cameo in the show include Queer Eye star Tan France, podcaster
Jay Shetty and his wife Radhi Devlukia, chefs Samin Nosrat and Jose Andres, and model Chrissy Teigen. Many have been sounding off and asking why Meghan would choose to have John Legend‘s wife on the show and why Netflix would give her a platform after what she did. Here’s more on that and the reactions from furious fans.
Backstory of Teigen’s cyberbullying a minor
For anyone who doesn’t know or doesn’t remember, Teigen faced backlash in 2021, when social media posts resurfaced of her telling model Courtney Stodden, who was a teenager at the time, to commit suicide and die.
Teigen later apologized for her behavior but soon after, she was accused of cyberbullying other people.
Project Runway fashion designer Michael Costello publicly claimed that Teigen cyberbullied him as well and shared examples of her direct messages with hurtful language that made him contemplate taking his own life.
Teen Mom alum Farrah Abraham also said that she got a nasty tweet from Teigen and had not received an apology.
Fans are furious that Teigen is featured in ‘With Love, Meghan’
Teigen had been “canceled” for some time, which is why many aren’t happy that the Duchess of Sussex who is supposed to be a champion against cyberbullying, would have her on With Love, Meghan.
One person wrote: “The choice of Chrissy [Teigen] as a guest is outrageous! What’s next? Diddy zoom call from prison talking about the flower arrangements at his parties?”
A second said, “Hey, Meghan, Chrissy’s way of ‘showing up lovingly’ was telling a vulnerable girl on the internet to take ‘a dirt nap’ and disturbing tweets about children. You know what they say, you are the company you keep.”
“Chrissy Teigen told then-teenager Courtney Stodden to unalive themselves. Really, Netflix? There are records of this and yet here we are,” a third person chimed in, while a fourth demanded to know, “I wonder how the Parents Network feels about her having Chrissy Tiegen on, who bullied a woman on Twitter and intimated she commit suicide?”
Another commenter shared a personal tragedy and their disgust at seeing Teigen in the trailer, writing: “A little over a year ago I lost my beautiful 15-year-old niece to unaliving herself. I’m sickened by the fact that Chrissy is doing this show. Especially when the host runs a parent’s network for parents who lost their kids to online bullying. This is absolutely sickening.”
