Meghan Markle hit with latest controversy after A-lister snub

Meghan Markle faced new humiliation after a new A-list star refused to accept invite to her Netflix show With Love, Meghan.

New reports have claimed that country music icon Dolly Parton turned down an invitation to appear on the series.

The show, which features Meghan cooking with celebrity guests like Mindy Kaling and Abigail Spencer, was reportedly hoping to include Parton because her brand aligns with the series’ lifestyle theme. 

Celebrity commentator Kinsey Schofield claimed the invite was rejected to protect Parton’s public image.

She told Daily Mail journalist Maureen Callahan, “They don't want to risk Dolly's reputation Q Score (measurement of a celebrity’s appeal) [and] her popularity by associating with Meghan Markle.”

“They knew that this ask was just to give Meghan Markle credibility in this lifestyle space, a space that Dolly does have a lot of credibility in,” she added.

However, the claimed was rejected by the Duchess of Sussex’s spokesperson, who said, “This story is false.”

“At no point did anybody from the show's production or Netflix approach Dolly Parton or her team to appear on With Love, Meghan.”
