Meghan Markle says ‘a lie can't live forever' in new podcast episode

'I would ask people to tell the truth,' Meghan revealed. 'A lie can't live forever. Eight years is a long time, but it's not forever.'

Meghan was in the spotlight before she started dating Prince Harry in 2016 as one of the lead actresses on USA Network's 'Suits.' Meghan married Harry in 2018 and performed her royal duties until the couple stepped back in 2020 and moved to the United States.
Since they stepped back, both Harry and Meghan have talked about the mistreatment they received while doing their royal duties and how the palace didn't protect them. In 2021, the couple shared their story in a CBS interview. They also revealed a lot more in their 2022 docuseries 'Harry & Meghan' on Netflix.
Meghan also spoke with Grede about a video she recently posted on Instagram that has gone viral. The 'baby mama dance' video was a throwback that she posted for her daughter, Princess Lilibet's, birthday.
Grede told Meghan that she did a 'little secret cheer' when she saw the video that Meghan had filmed in the delivery room before Lilibet was born.
Meghan explained that the clip 'was four years ago.' She also told Grede, '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.'
She also said, '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.' Meghan rejoined Instagram back in January after years of being off social media completely.
'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,' she added, referring to her personal social media handle.
On the podcast, Meghan said she and Harry have been working with Netflix for five years. Netflix also fully produced Meghan's 'As Ever' product line. Her show, 'With Love, Meghan,' had dropped off the streaming service's top ten list in less than a week. Netflix also fully produced Meghan's 'As Ever' product line.

NewsNation's Paula Froelich reported that Meghan's Netflix show will still be given a third season, regardless of viewership, because the streaming giant is invested in making her products and show a success.
Froelich heard that many people are 'done' with the Sussex family at Netflix, but the third season will be used to see if commerce and entertainment can be combined for profit.

KPop Demon Hunters Singer Drops A Blunt Response To Claims That The Movie's Songs Are AI-Made
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Ever since the 2025 Netflix release KPop Demon Hunters hit the streaming schedule in June, the Sony Pictures Animation movie has been getting the world talking and singing. With the animated movie being about a girl group whose songs are used as weapons against demons, you can't help but feel empowered while listening to the soundtrack and trying to hit those high notes. However, a social media user claimed that the movie's songs are AI-made, and that led to one of the film's singers dropping a blunt reply. The internet is obsessed with KPop Demon Hunters' music, with plenty of fans singing covers on social media and copying the choreography. And that popularity is abundantly clear when you look at Billboard and see "Golden" in the No. 1 spot on the Hot 100 and Global 200. Even Stitch felt the need to dance to 'Soda Pop' at Disney World! Truly, there's no denying that Huntr/x and the Saja Boys were the fictional music groups we didn't know we needed. However, it appears one social media user felt the music from the 2025 movie release was too good to be true. While re-posting about 'Golden' being the first female K-pop song to reach No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, @TheTitanBaddie claimed: Y'all realize this is one step towards AI completely taking over the music industry as well right? This is truly an outrageous assumption. There's no evidence to suggest that AI was used for KPop Demon Hunters' music. That's proven too by the impressive stellar talent brought on to provide Huntr/x's singing voices. Fortunately, the reactions underneath the post aren't fooled by the claim and know that three talented singers brought their A-game in the animated flick. Just like Huntr/x didn't let threats stand in their way, neither did one of Huntr/x's singers. REI AMI, who played the singing voice of Huntr/x rapper Zoey. She dropped a blunt response to the claim, stating: EJAE, AUDREY, NUNA AND I ARE NOT AI — ARE U BITCHES DUMB?! Ejae Kim, Audrey Nuna, and Rei Ami are certainly not AI. They are chart-topping Korean-American singers and songwriters. Even Ejae, who's the singing voice of Rumi, helped write the songs for KPop's 'Golden,' 'How It's Done,' and 'Your Idol,' which deserve a round of applause and all of the records they broke. That's not all Rei Ami had to say on the matter. The South Korean native also had a funny response to the accusations that she's AI: Y'all, I just found out I've been AI for 30 years. OMG, help. I'm just a code. Oopsie, oh noooooooooo, me so sad. Rei Ami doesn't have to prove anything to anyone that she's a real person. But if you're going to, you might as well deliver a tongue-in-cheek tweet that makes light of the absurdity of the situation. With KPop Demon Hunters already drawing attention with its wild Netflix records, there's been a lot of chatter about it, and sadly, that also includes bad rumors. Superb musical talent should never be questioned, and Rei Ami's cheeky comeback turns that baseless criticism into a moment of humor and power, just like Huntr/x would handle it. If you'd like to relive the chart-topping musical tunes from the animated fantasy flick, you can watch KPop Demon Hunters with a Netflix subscription. Solve the daily Crossword

KPop Demon Hunters Rei Ami Addresses AI Rumors
Everybody's rightfully obsessed with Sony's KPop Demon Hunters on Netflix. The movie's already making history as the iconic single "Golden" from the movie has reached the top of the Billboard Hot 100, but not without a bit of controversy. So, KPop Demon Hunters is voiced by a star-studded, all-Korean cast with a visual style and music that pays homage to popular Korean music, anime, and culture. It's dope because it's like one long, action-packed music video. In the animated film, three present-day demon hunters are tasked with saving the world from an evil demon king — Rumi (Arden Cho), Mira (May Hong), and Zoey (Ji-young Yoo). The best part is that they're not just demon hunters but also the super famous K-pop girl group Huntr/x. The singing voices of the animated characters are... ...K-pop singer-songwriter and record producer Ejae for Rumi... ...Korean-American R&B singer and rapper Audrey Nuna for Mira... ...and actor, singer-songwriter, and rapper Rei Ami for Zoey. The movie features several songs that have become instant hits with fans, but the song "Golden" which plays important part in the movie has crossed over into world as chart-topping hit making the virtual girl group HUNTR/X one of the first girl groups to hit #1 since Destiny's Child. It is the second track from an animated film to occupy the top of the Hot 100 this decade since "We Don't Talk About Bruno" from Disney's Encanto. Other tracks from animated characters have charted before, including Alvin and the Chipmunks' "The Chipmunk Song" or the Archies' "Sugar, Sugar," and "Nobody Like U" from Pixar's Turning Red boy band 4*TOWN. The difference between these past groups is that they didn't have to defend themselves against "artificial intelligence" accusations. A viral tweet with over 12 million views said, "Y'all realize this is one step toward AI completely taking over the music industry as well right?" The tweet triggered a debate over whether or not the performance of "Golden" was AI-generated, prompting a response from one of the real-life artists behind the song. On Aug. 12, Rei Ami shared an X post, writing, "EJAE, AUDREY NUNA AND I ARE NOT AI — ARE U BITCHES DUMB?!" Like her character Zoey with the shin-kal knives, she responded one more time against the accusations, sarcastically writing, "Yall I just found out I've been AI for 30 years omg help I'm just a code oopsie oh noooooooooo me so sad." Thanks to fans, Kpop Demon Hunters has become Netflix's second most-streamed movie ever and gave both Huntr/x and the fictional boyband Saja Boys chart-topping songs. And these same loyal KPop Demon Hunters fans are hilariously ten-toes behind Rei Ami's playful clapback, and they're not pulling any punches. No seriously. Why is Rei Ami so hilarious?

Swifties Defend Taylor Swift's Controversial Album Art
Taylor Swift revealed the artwork for her upcoming album, The Life of a Showgirl, and some people aren't fans of what they're seeing. On Wednesday, Taylor shared details about her twelfth studio album, including the cover art, tracklist, surprise features, and the release date. "And, baby, that's show business for you," Taylor wrote on her Instagram post, which has amassed over 9 million likes. The album is set to release on Oct. 3 and feature producers Max Martin, Shellback, and Taylor herself — the same team behind some of her biggest hits on 1989 and Reputation. It will include 12 tracks, with a special collaboration from Sabrina Carpenter, who also opened for Taylor during her Eras Tour. Here's the official tracklist:1. "The Fate of Ophelia"2. "Elizabeth Taylor"3. "Opalite"4. "Father Figure"5. "Eldest Daughter"6. "Ruin the Friendship"7. "Actually Romantic"8. "Wi$h Li$t"9. "Wood"10. "CANCELLED!"11. "Honey"12. "The Life of a Showgirl (Feat. Sabrina Carpenter)" And while we don't know what the songs are about just yet, that hasn't stopped fans from theorizing about the meaning behind them — and, I have to admit, the theories are really good. Taylor has been through a lot since her Eras tour, from new love to possible friendship breakups, so it will be interesting to see what gets addressed. In fact, Taylor shed some light on The Life of a Showgirl while appearing alongside her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, on the New Heights podcast, which he cohosts with his brother, Jason Kelce. During the 2-hour long conversation, she shared a ton of behind-the-scenes details about herself, their relationship, and, of course, her music. Despite the comments being turned off on her Instagram, fans found other outlets to express their excitement, including X (better known as Twitter): "Taylor teaming up with Max Martin and Shellback again? This is about to be a pop masterpiece for the ages." "SO PROUD OF YOU SHOWGIRL!!!!!" "And suddenly I'm off work that day." "So so so excited for this new era! Thank you for sharing your words and your feelings with us !!!" "NEW TAYLOR ALBUM LET'S GOOO." But along with the love she was being showered with, there also came backlash. Some people weren't impressed by the way Taylor was dressed in her various shots for her album, with one commenter even claiming that the multi-Grammy winner is "not a model I want my young daughter to idolize anymore." Others believed she was trying to mimic other popular artists like Beyoncé, Jennifer Lopez, Britney Spears, and more with her showgirl outfits: But the reactions didn't stop there: Fans on Reddit were not feeling the criticism and called out the pressure parents place on celebrities to "help raise" their children, and the hypocrisy women go through as they're expected to mature in their work but not in their looks. I'm going to have to side with the positive comments here. Women, let alone female celebrities, should be allowed to experiment and grow with their art. Expecting artists to look the same and produce the same art over and over again is unrealistic and unfair. Taylor has always been open about the various stages she's going through in life, and this is no different. Whether you love her, hate her, or hate to love her, Taylor will always find a way to get the people talking!
