Meghan Markle makes veiled dig at royals about 'truth' in latest podcast
Meghan Markle has seemingly taken a veiled swipe at the royal family in her latest explosive podcast interview.
The Duchess of Sussex was probed about her public persona during her appearance on the Aspire by Emma Grede podcast, where she also discussed the establishment of her own lifestyle brand, As Ever, and her career aspirations.
During the extensive chat, Emma, who co-founded the jeans brand Good American with Khloe Kardashian, questioned Meghan about the impact of her fame on her recognisability.
She asked the Duchess: "I wanted to ask you a little bit about the public narrative, because when you sign up to be an actress, you know that people are going to start recognising you, they're going to start speaking to you on the street. But that's very different from what you have now.
In response, Meghan said: "It is, Emma!

"It's very different" before chuckling. Emma then asked: "If you could rewrite your public narrative from scratch, is there anything that you would do differently?
"To which Meghan responded: "Yes, I would ask people to tell the truth. " She continued: "You go through those chapters and you do a lot of work, reports the Mirror.
"You do a lot of selfwork and go, what's the why?
"It's happening for a reason."
In light of previous allegations she made about the palace, where Meghan had accused them of "perpetuating falsehoods" about her, her reference to the importance of speaking the truth has become particularly emphatic. These accusations surfaced during her explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey, in which the TV titan queried: "How do you feel about the palace hearing you speak your truth today?
"Meghan's response was pointed: "I don't know how they could expect that, after all of this time, we would still just be silent if there is an active role that The Firm is playing in perpetuating falsehoods about us."
Further into the podcast, Meghan addressed her contentious twerking video with a bold comeback. A clip showing Meghan and Prince Harry jovially dancing in a hospital room with the intention of inducing labour as she approached the end of her pregnancy with Princess Lilibet stirred public interest.
The unguarded video, lasting over one minute, is set to 'Baby Mamma' and features Harry being summoned by Meghan into the dance. The duke, clad in his grey hoodie, joins towards the end, maintaining his dance moves with his hood pulled up.Amid the video, Meghan, dressed in a black maternity outfit, lovingly holds her significant baby bump and lifts her skirt slightly above the knees, arms held high, followed by a low twirl with hands poised on her hips and legs.
The Duchess has finally spoken out about the internet sensation caused by the recent viral video. Meghan discusses with Emma the importance of authenticity for success and inquires if she had seen her 'Baby Momma' dance.Emma, a founding partner of Kim Kardashian's renowned brand Skims, admitted to having watched the clip repeatedly, expressing surprise at seeing Prince Harry's involvement and commending his enthusiasm.
Commenting on the footage for the first time, Meghan reflected: "That was four years ago. So it's also a really great reminder that with all the noise or whatever people do, there's still a whole life - a real, authentic, fun life - that's happening behind the scenes.
"I'm just grateful that now, being back on social as well, I have a place where I can share it on my own terms.

RHONY star accuses iconic artist ex-fiancée of sexual harassment and millions of dollars in theft
In honoring Mickalene Thomas this spring as one of Time magazine's 100 most influential people of 2025, 16-time Grammy-winner Alicia Keys called the celebrated American contemporary artist 'a mastermind at conveying poignant messages through striking visuals.' 'Mickalene herself is walking art,' Keys wrote in her paean to the 54-year-old Brooklyn resident. 'She has such a distinct presence and aura that it's impossible not to feel inspired by her. The art and the artist both are bold, fearless, and fierce.' But Thomas' former fiancée Racquel Chevremont, who continued to partner professionally with Thomas following the pair's 2020 breakup, says the artist sexually harassed her, created a 'hostile' and 'abusive' working environment and shorted her out of millions of dollars over the course of their decade-long relationship. That's according to previously unreported court documents obtained by The Independent, which reveal Chevremont wants a minimum of $10 million from Thomas over allegations that include breach of contract, unjust enrichment, retaliation and violations of state and local human rights laws. Thomas's work can also be found in, among other places, MoMA, the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C., and Jay-Z's Manhattan offices. Thomas's 2016 mixed-media rendering of Chevremont, a well-regarded art curator and consultant who joined the Real Housewives of New York cast last year, sold at auction five years later for more than $1.8 million. Messages sent to Thomas's work and personal email addresses went unanswered. Chevremont's legal and management teams did not respond to requests for comment. In a summons and notice filed in New York State Supreme Court on August 8, Chevremont says she is now seeking 'redress for years of exploitation, nonpayment and unlawful conduct.' 'From 2012 to 2022, Ms. Chevremont, who is also Ms. Thomas' former fiancée, contributed immeasurably to Ms. Thomas' artistic and commercial success, acting as a strategic advisor, and liaison to galleries, collectors, and institutions,' the filing contends. 'Despite these work-related contributions, Ms. Chevremont was paid improperly for more than a decade, both as an employee and under a written agreement effective January 1, 2021, as well as for compensation prior to 2021 and for multimillion-dollar deals she negotiated on Ms. Thomas' behalf.' Chevremont was reportedly entitled to a 20 percent cut on sales of commissioned works she helped land. The filing further accuses Thomas of having 'illegally diverted significant funds and business opportunities from her and Ms. Chevremont's jointly-owned entity' to her own LLC. 'In addition to diverting funds and not properly compensating Ms. Chevremont, Ms. Thomas also subjected Ms. Chevremont to a hostile and abusive work environment as well as quid pro quo harassment,' the filing alleges. Following their split, it says Thomas 'repeatedly and improperly pressured Ms. Chevremont to resume their romantic relationship, and ultimately terminated Ms. Chevremont's employment, in violation of New York State and New York City Human Rights Laws, when she made it clear that this would never happen.' Chevremont is asking a judge to award her 'not less than' $10 million, plus interest, attorneys' fees and court costs. While they were together, Thomas and Chevremont billed themselves as ' Deux Femmes Noires,' and used their resources and connections to boost young Black and LGBT artists. The two first met in 2002, began dating in 2011, and were engaged in 2019, on New Year's Eve. Raised in the Bronx, Chevremont has appeared in ad campaigns for L'Oréal, Fila and Benetton. She has two children with ex-husband Corey Baylor, a New York City financier, and became the second-ever LGBTQ+ cast member on RHONY when she signed on for season 15. 'My entire adult life has been about representation and using whatever platform I have to get the voices of queer folks of the diaspora out there,' Chevremont told GLAAD in June 2024. 'What better way to do so if not as a member of this iconic franchise?' Bravo, which produces and broadcasts the reality series, announced at the time that Chevremont would be 'living out a fairytale' onscreen, and would not 'let past rumors from the New York art scene get in the way of her happily ever after." Her current fiancée, motorcycle-riding forensic neuropsychologist Mel Corpus, was dubbed ' ludicrously hot ' by Vogue. 'Mel and I, we've been friends for over 12 years,' Chevremont said in her first RHONY episode. 'We were very single when we got together, but there was a bit of a scandal. There were a few people that were not all that happy.' Chevremont announced her engagement to Corpus on the air last October, flaunting a diamond ring that, as PEOPLE magazine joked, could ' be seen from outer space.' Thomas now has a little less than three weeks to formally respond to Chevremont's allegations.

Spike Lee's Highest 2 Lowest rages against the new but leaves him looking too old
'We're jazz musicians,' the director Spike Lee recently said of his working dynamic with Denzel Washington in Highest 2 Lowest, a new crime thriller that marks the fifth collaboration between the two Oscar winners. 'We respect Julie Andrews singing My Favorite Things, but when John Coltrane did it, you know, or when Miles [Davis] did his standard of My Funny Valentine, it's a different thing.' The metaphor is no throwaway. Since Lee's breakout on to the cultural scene in the 1980s, the Atlanta-born, Brooklyn-made auteur has been at pains to style himself as an outgrowth of old school storytelling traditions even as critics tarred him as a new-school disrupter. From She's Gotta Have It to Chi-Raq, Lee has made the extra effort to venerate the athletes, artists and thinkers who have shaped his distinctly analog worldview. Highest 2 Lowest was meant to be a 'reinterpretation and not a remake', he said of the 1963 Japanese crime noir directed by Akira Kurosawa – officially acknowledged in the new film's end credits as 'the master'. But ultimately Lee uses his latest joint as a Trojan horse to launch fresh attacks against a stubborn personal bugbear: the changing times. In Kurosawa's film, Kingo Gongo (the pre-eminent Toshirō Mifune) is a shoe company executive forced to choose between certain financial ruin and saving his chauffeur's son when a kidnapper mixes up their two boys. The same premise holds true for Washington's David King – the golden-eared recording mogul behind Stackin' Hits, itself a composite of Stax and other Black-owned labels of lore. As in the original, Highest 2 Lowest introduces King as he's staking his sizable fortune to execute a leveraged buyout. And like Gongo, he feels compelled to do so to maintain a vintage quality standard. But where Gongo hopes to stem a tide of cheaply made, cardboard-grade shoes, King aims to protect his towering record catalog against unrelenting threats from AI and advertising. Never mind that this particular message is being brought to you by a man who has hawked everything from shoes to banking to water. In Highest 2 Lowest, characters make jokey references to insurance commercial mascots; one of them, Allstate's Mayhem (Dean Winters) even crosses over into this production. From his midtown high rise corner office perch, surrounded by pictures of Aretha Franklin, LL Cool J and other music icons, King yearns for a past when real music was swingin' and makes a goal of restoring those times for the sake of a greater cultural good. It's a cognitive dissonance that Lee appeared to wrestle with in the real-life marketing for the film. Teasers for Highest 2 Lowest prominently tout the rapper Ice Spice, a one-hit wonder oft-derided as an industry plant. But her true screen time is limited to a brief meeting at Stackin' Hits HQ that sees King smile politely at her character before rushing off to tend to more important business. In hindsight, the ruse is clear – Ice Spice was just the carrot to get young viewers through the turnstiles – and so is the contempt dripping from the auteur and his avatar. King doesn't just work backwards. He lives in a literal past. His waterfront penthouse in Brooklyn's trendy Dumbo neighborhood is a monument to Black history to rival the Smithsonian's African American museum. Inside the King's split-level domicile, Jean Michel Basquiat's Now's the Time competes for pride of place with Kehinde Wiley's Investiture of Bishop Harold as the Duke of Franconia – a supreme homage of old from new commissioned for Lee himself, one of several movie props derived from the director's personal collection. Lee's tight focus on the decor and intentional cutaways – from the Toni Morrison portrait on one wall to Shepard Fairey's Kamala poster on another – highlights the connection between these significant works. Lee is just as heavy-handed about the musical scoring in Highest 2 Lowest, which overpowers the story at times. When the film opened with grand shots of the New York skyline set to a straight performance of Oh, What a Beautiful Morning, I figured Lee would cut it off after 30 seconds or 45 seconds – especially after the low-key shade he threw at Julie Andrews. But, no, he lets the Oklahoma! standard run through to its three-plus minute conclusion. This, I suspect, was done to introduce younger filmgoers to Norm Lewis (who made history in 2006 as the first Black person to play Javert in a professional English-language production of Les Misérables on Broadway) and urge them to revel in a level of vocal genius that once seemed so routinely achievable without computer assistance. The first major action sequence in Highest 2 Lowest, set against a Puerto Rican festival in the Bronx, is underscored by an indulgent live performance from the Latin jazz pioneer Eddie Palmieri. With every classic song choice and artist photograph, which aren't limited to the black-and-white glossies tacked around King's corner office, Lee prevails upon viewers the superiority of his particular analog tastes. Where High and Low largely concerns itself with the question of class, Highest 2 Lowest wonders if there are any truly original cultural contributions after 2004 – apparently, the last year Stackin' Hits was genuinely relevant. In his film, Kurosawa also interrogates contemporary media praxis before dismissing the press as a group-thinking, sensationalist herd. But Lee takes the critique even further through King, who doesn't just rage at his son's screen addiction but names the pushers: TMZ and its Black celebrity gossip knockoff, MediaTakeOut. The ragebait sets King up for a showdown with the kidnapper, a drill rap street sensation named Yung Felon played by A$AP Rocky. As Felon explains, he was pushed into the random scheme after King ignored his attempts to reach out and share his music. The conceit not only ignores the psychedelic era in which hip-hop comfortably finds itself now, but does even more to amplify the music's association with what behavior conservatives might charitably characterize as unrefined, when they're not outright calling it ghetto. (They minced even fewer words about jazz back in the day …) When King diagnoses Yung Felon as soulless and shrugs off his burgeoning following, a sign that would seem to suggest there's some intrinsic value and authenticity in his art, Young Felon shoots back with live rounds and fulfills his no-good thug stereotype. It's quite the turnabout from Lee's seminal 1989 film Do the Right Thing, which lionized hip-hop as a voice of protest and community. Lee presses this point home in an interpolated music video for Trunks, an A$AP track that's lent to the Yung Felon character. Lee situates Washington's King amid a phalanx of twerking stripper bottoms. Given the nearly two hours' worth of carefully curated cultural celebration that came before, the moment initially struck me as crass. (Washington turns his back to camera for most of the scene, as reveling in it would be seen as beneath an actor of his caliber.) But crass is precisely the takeaway Lee was going for. Disappointingly, Highest 2 Lowest forgoes the opportunity to provide a modern spin on Kurosawa's class allegory. Instead, it picks up a harangue Lee launched in the 2000 film Bamboozled, a strident broadside against what he saw as the corruption of modern Black cultural expression. Ironically, Lee saved this forceful rejection of new school values for his first production made in collaboration with A24 and Apple. The film's rising action is basically a long and tortured product placement sequence for AirPods, Maps and two middling updates to A$AP's Music catalog. Tellingly, the tech is exempted from the lowbrow status assigned to the other newfangled ideas struggling for light in the shadow of Lee's unimpeachable taste. That Highest 2 Lowest failed to net a widespread theatrical release in the commercial exchange ultimately goes to show what today's culture gatekeepers think about him, not Denzel – arguably an even more compelling box office draw with retirement looming. For Highest 2 Lowest to wind down with King charting a new path with a classic female lounge act (Aiyana-Lee) just puts the fine point on Lee's weak indictment of These Times. You just wonder how much longer he can carry on whingeing nostalgic like this, Grandpa Simpson-style, before turning into a relic himself.
