Trending Now: This entertainment story covers the latest buzz, reactions, and updates surrounding Trending Now: Netflix boss Ted Sarandos no longer follows Meghan on Instagram: Exclusive – Fans React..
(NewsNation) — Meghan Markle is adamant that while she and Netflix ended their partnership in As Ever (and everything else with the exception of a “first look” deal), she is still very good friends with Netflix boss Ted Sarandos and his wife Nicole Avant.
In the recent Variety article, “Inside Meghan and Harry’s Falling Out With Netflix — and Why the Royal Couple Is Struggling in Hollywood,” three insiders told the outlet, “Netflix chief Ted Sarandos is fed up with the pair — who, per two sources, have been known to text directly with the Co-CEO about their projects, as do many A-listers who work with the streamer. Similarly, chief content officer Bela Bajaria is said to have grown weary of the Sussex pact.”

“The mood in the building is ‘We’re done,’” one Netflix insider tells Variety of the vibe on Meghan and Harry.
(Side Note: I was the first to report last year that the streamer was “done” with the couple.)

“This is blatantly false. In fact, Meghan texts and speaks with Mr. Sarandos regularly, and has been to his home, sans lawyers,” says Sussex attorney Michael J. Kump in a letter to Variety regarding this story.
But while a Netflix spokesperson told Variety it is “absolutely inaccurate” that Sarandos and Bajaria have lost faith in the couple, eagle-eyed observers note that Sarandos — who follows other celebrities like Amy Adams, Beyoncé and Wanda Sykes — no longer follows the Sussexes (or As Ever) on Instagram. Good news? His wife, Nicole Avant, still does.
Netflix chief content officer Bella Bajaria also unfollowed Meghan.
Reps for Sarandos, Avant and the Sussexes didn’t return emails for comment.
