When Meghan Markle’s new Netflix trailer dropped this week, it was supposed to be a fresh start—a warm, intimate glimpse into her lifestyle series. Instead, it ignited a firestorm of mockery, outrage, and disgust. Within hours, social media was buzzing with comments calling it “phony,” “overproduced,” and “the creepiest PR stunt yet.”

The backlash started the moment viewers noticed the obvious staging. The glossy farmhouse kitchen, the flower-filled backyard, the carefully lit cooking scenes—it wasn’t even Meghan’s real home. Critics said the entire setup screamed “Netflix fantasy” rather than authenticity, leaving many wondering if Meghan even believed in her own project.
What really unsettled people were the tiny details. Meghan cooking in a spotless white outfit while wearing chunky jewelry raised eyebrows. Her long hair hanging near the food had viewers cringing. One viral comment summed it up: “Yuck—no one cooks like this unless it’s scripted.” Instead of creating a cozy, relatable vibe, the trailer left audiences feeling uncomfortable.
The choice of guest stars only made things worse. Chrissy Teigen’s appearance sparked outrage given her past bullying scandals, with angry fans accusing Meghan of hypocrisy. “How can she talk about kindness and anti-bullying while platforming Chrissy?” one furious comment read.
By the end of the week, the trailer had reportedly racked up over 100,000 dislikes online, with Reddit threads mocking its “kindergarten-level scripting” and “garish fakery.” Critics argued the project felt like a recycled version of her first flop season—proof, they say, that Netflix’s faith in Meghan is rapidly fading.
For someone who hoped this series would wash away the negative headlines, Meghan may have only made things worse. What was meant to be aspirational now looks artificial—and instead of warming hearts, her Netflix comeback has left many viewers colder than ever.
