Meghan Markle snubbed by A-list singer who turned down invite to appear on Netflix show: report
Dolly Parton reportedly snubbed Meghan Markle after she turned down an invite to appear on the actress's Netflix series 'With Love, Meghan.' 'Her team was livid,' celebrity commentator Kinsey Schofield claimed on a recent podcast appearance of 'The Nerve with Maureen Callahan.' 'Because no, they don't want to risk Dolly's reputation Q score [and] her popularity by associating with Meghan Markle.' 'They knew that this ask was just to give Meghan Markle credibility in this lifestyle space, a space that Dolly does have a lot of credibility in,' she continued. Schofield, 40, elaborated on Parton's success in the country music industry and as a lifestyle guru with her variety of baking batter mixes and beauty products. 'Dolly is not only incredibly popular and loved by the general public, but she also is somebody who can float around within these different places,' she added. 'Her team really feels like Meghan was trying to take advantage of her popularity,' Schofield alleged. Callahan described Parton as 'authentic' and claimed it would've been 'spontaneous combustion of good versus evil' if she agreed to appear alongside 'a fake royal' in her 'fake kitchen.' Reps for Parton, 79, and Markle, 43, weren't immediately available to Page Six for comment. The Duchess of Sussex's lifestyle series was released on Netflix in March. It was immediately renewed for Season 2 despite criticism from trolls claiming that Markle was 'thirsty' for fame. Several celebrities joined the 'Suits' alum in her show, including Mindy Kaling and Abigail Spencer. Spencer has previously defended her pal against critics, telling Page Six that Markle is 'the most glorious human being on the planet.' Markle, meanwhile, embarked on several business ventures this past year, including the launch of her 'As Ever' lifestyle brand and 'Confessions of a Female Founder' podcast in April. During a recent podcast episode, she admitted she felt 'incredibly lonely' in her business endeavors.

Further, the media personality shared that the rapper allegedly being in the bathroom and humping away at a lady in full view of all shows that he does not have respect for private spaces for women or women in general.

Megyn Kelly Makes Bold Claim She Caught Diddy 'Dry Humping' A Kardashian At Met Gala Amid His Trial
Sean "Diddy" Combs once had a wild moment with a Kardashian at a past Met Gala. The rapper was allegedly caught "dry humping" one of the Kardashian sisters in the bathroom of the event. The claim was made by American journalist Megyn Kelly amid the rapper's ongoing sex crimes trial. Sean "Diddy" Combs is currently facing multiple charges in his federal case, including sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution. Amid the drama surrounding Diddy's ongoing sex crimes trial, news of one of his wild antics has resurfaced, adding to speculations about his alleged depraved nature. The embattled rapper is said to have once "dry humped" a Kardashian in the bathroom of a previous Met Gala events. "I went to the Met Gala. I went two years, Maureen..." said journalist Megyn Kelly during an appearance on "The Nerve with Maureen Callahan." She continued, "The thing I remember is P. Diddy, in the restroom, cozying up, the women's restroom, that's why I was there, dry humping a Kardashian." "There were multiple Kardashians in there and like some other lame supermodel, not the supermodels we grew up with, those lame influencer types," Kelly added. The journalist went on to double down on her claims, although she did not reveal which one of the Kardashians was with the music mogul. "They were all in there. No-one was using the bathroom, they were smoking and dry humping... and that was P. Diddy," she said. Kelly had attended the 2016 and 2017 Met Gala. Although it's unclear what exact year the journalist witnessed what she claims she saw, Kim Kardashian, Kendall Jenner, and Kylie Jenner famously posed for a bathroom selfie with Diddy and other stars at the 2017 event. This week, Kelly has also ripped into the rapper in a conversation with Sky News host Paul Murray. Murray had said that Diddy is a "creep" who has "done awful things" that are now being unearthed in his trial. Kelly then replied that the trial was going to take all concerned individuals on a "disgusting trip" to the rapper's "seedy, awful world. She went on to describe Diddy as classless, lacking in kindness, and a "depraved" individual. "He's a depraved, disgusting individual, about whom I wish to hear nothing, nothing, after this trial is done," Kelly added. Despite her disdain for Diddy's alleged hedonistic behavior, Kelly emphasized that the rapper should not be convicted based on bias. "Is he a criminal, akin to a mob boss running several criminal enterprises? While it's very clear to me he is a depraved, disgusting person, we have to prove that he violated the law," Kelly told her host. She then noted that the defense may be attempting to argue that Diddy's alleged "freak offs" weren't illegal, but that the victims' testimonies could make that a difficult argument to sustain. "If you don't have the consent of the women or men, as the case may be, it is illegal, but okay, we (the defence) are going to argue over whether they were willing participants," Kelly continued. She added, "And they (the alleged victims) are going to say, 'Absolutely not, he drugged me against my will, maybe there were drugs in that baby oil… But I definitely didn't consent to being drugged, or being raped or sodomised by P Diddy'." As the trial unfolds, the jurors have heard the testimony of one of the federal prosecutors' key witnesses, Diddy's ex-girlfriend Cassandra "Cassie" Ventura. Cassie is known as "Victim 1" in the superseding indictment that led to Diddy's arrest last September. She dated the rap mogul on and off from 2007 to 2018, during which Diddy reportedly forced her to repeatedly participate in the drug-fueled sex parties. In her testimony, she claimed that she suffered severe physical abuse at the hands of the music mogul throughout their relationship. "He would bash me on my head, knock me over, drag me, kick me, stomp me on the head if I was down," Cassie told the court, per Page Six. She also revealed in-depth details about his alleged "freak offs," including confirming that Diddy had lots of baby oils used for these sexcapades and hired multiple paid partners to take part in them. In November 2023, Cassie opened the floodgates of lawsuits against Diddy when she filed a bombshell suit accusing him of sexual assault. Twenty-four hours after the lawsuit was filed, it was settled out of court, with Diddy paying his ex-girlfriend an undisclosed sum at the time. However, according to Variety, during her testimony on Wednesday, May 14, 2025, Cassie finally confirmed that Diddy and his companies paid her $2o million to settle the lawsuit. When asked why she had decided to testify against Diddy, Cassie said, "I'm here to do the right thing. I can't carry this anymore … the shame, the guilt."
