Unveiling the Controversy: Celebrity Chef’s Harsh Critique of Meghan’s Netflix Series
In a surprising turn of events, British celebrity chef Jameson Stocks has openly criticized Meghan Markle’s new Netflix lifestyle series, “With Love, Meghan.” Stocks, who claims he was approached to consult on the show but declined, did not hold back in his scathing review, leaving many to question both his involvement and the series’ overall reception.
A Sour Taste: Stocks’ Disappointment with “With Love, Meghan”
When asked about his thoughts on the series, Stocks was unequivocal in his disdain. “Everything,” he stated, pointing out the slow and lethargic music as particularly painful to watch. His harsh words come as a shock, especially considering his extensive culinary background, having worked in Michelin-starred kitchens and prepared meals for celebrities like Tom Hanks and Lady Gaga.
Stocks revealed that he was contacted by Netflix last year to consult on a lifestyle program, which he deduced was related to Meghan Markle, despite her not being mentioned by name. However, he declined the offer, fearing potential backlash for associating with the project. “I felt that, even if she produced a really great program — which I was quite skeptical of anyway — that I might get a little bit slammed for it,” he explained.
Doubts and Denials: The Aftermath of Stocks’ Claims
The controversy deepened when a New York Post article cast doubt on Stocks’ claims of being approached for “With Love, Meghan.” A representative for the Duchess of Sussex declined to comment on Stocks’ remarks, leaving the situation shrouded in uncertainty.
“With Love, Meghan” aims to showcase Meghan in various settings, from the kitchen and garden to even a beehive, as she hosts both old and new friends. Guests on the show include notable figures like Mindy Kaling and Roy Choi. However, the series faced delays due to wildfires in Southern California, with much of the filming taking place at Meghan and Prince Harry’s Montecito home.
Mixed Reviews and Future Prospects
Early reviews of “With Love, Meghan” have been mixed to negative, with some critics calling it “wildly unattainable” and “mind-bogglingly basic.” Despite the criticism, Netflix has confirmed that a second season is in the works, indicating confidence in the show’s potential.
When asked about Meghan’s next career move, Stocks suggested she return to acting, a field where she gained fame as Rachel Zane on “Suits” before marrying into the British royal family. “She’s quite a good actress, in real life or on-screen,” he remarked. “People should stick to what they do best.”
