Celeb chef hit with legal threat after denouncing Meghan Markle's show: ‘Painful to watch'
Celebrity chef Jameson Stocks claims Netflix has threatened him with legal action after he publicly denounced Meghan Markle's show, 'With Love, Meghan.' The chef — who had previously cooked for King Charles and other royals — famously slammed the Duchess of Sussex's series, saying it was 'terrible' and 'painful to watch.' Stocks, 41, had previously claimed that he turned down an offer from the streamer to work on the show to avoid public scrutiny and creating something 'forced and fake.'

Jameson Stocks It appears as though his comments were not well-received by Netflix honchos. 'I got a lawyer's letter from Netflix after I spoke out against her, warning me. I proper p–ed them off. Netflix did not like it and came after me,' he told the Daily Mail. Advertisement Stocks also doubled down on his criticism of the 'Suits' alum, questioning how she managed to ink a $100 million deal with the streamer. 'I don't think she can cook and I don't think she should be teaching people to cook either,' he added. 5 The former actress released her 8-part Netflix series in March. JAKE ROSENBERG/NETFLIX Still, Stocks' claims were disputed by Netflix, as a spokesperson for the streamer told The Post, 'No legal letter was sent to Jameson Stocks from Netflix.' Advertisement The Post has reached out to Markle's reps for comment. Following the release of 'With Love, Meghan' in March, the chef admitted he had been 'skeptical' of the show even before it went into production. 'I felt that even if she produced a really great program, which I was quite skeptical of anyway, that I might get a little slammed for it, for being a part of it,' he told GB News. 5 The series saw Markle offer up a 'how-to' guide for hosting friends at home.

I just felt if she's going to do something herself, she should do it herself.' In a true mic-drop moment, Stocks urged Markle to return to her former profession. 'I think she should just go back to acting,' he said. 'She's quite a good actress in real life, or obviously on screen. I think people should just stick to what they do best.'

Celebrity chef Jameson Stocks slams With Love, Meghan
Jameson Stocks has claimed he turned down an offer from Netflix to work on the Duchess of Sussex's new cooking series, With Love, Meghan. His reason for doing so was that he wanted to avoid being a part of something "forced and fake". However, the production team has reportedly countered his claims, telling The New York Post that he was never approached to be a part of the series. "Chef Jameson Stocks was not invited to participate in With Love, Meghan, and any claims to the contrary are incorrect," the Post reported. Stocks, a self-styled celebrity chef who claims to have cooked for King Charles, spoke about the Duchess's new TV show during a recent interview with GB News. "I was asked last year by Netflix if I wanted to consult on a lifestyle program," the Michelin-starred chef told the outlet. "They didn't go into too much detail about who it was but I already kind of knew anyway." He continued, "I felt like even if she produced a really great programme - which I was quite sceptical of - that I might get a little bit slammed for being a part of it." As for what he thought of the first season, which features Meghan's famous friend Mindy Kaling and her former Suits co-star Abigail Spencer, Stocks said, "I honestly thought it was terrible."
