Meg ‘Under Fire’ as Hollywood Turns Cold: Duchess Named Among ‘Most Disliked Celebrities of 2025’
A fresh storm is swirling around Meghan Markle — and this time, the chill appears to be coming straight from Hollywood.
Once welcomed onto red carpets and A-list guest lists, the Duchess of Sussex now finds herself at the centre of a growing online backlash after being repeatedly named on viral “Most Disliked Celebrities of 2025” lists circulating across entertainment media and social platforms.
The rankings — compiled by pop-culture pages and fan-driven polls — have ignited fierce debate, with supporters rushing to defend Meghan while critics argue that public patience has finally run thin.
“This feels like a turning point,” said one Hollywood watcher. “It’s not about one interview or one project anymore. It’s about overall fatigue.”
In recent months, Meghan’s media ventures have struggled to regain the momentum once promised by blockbuster streaming deals and global brand partnerships. Several high-profile projects have drawn mixed reviews, while public enthusiasm — once fierce — appears to have cooled noticeably.
Social media tells the story.
Where timelines were once flooded with praise and viral support, comment sections now carry a far more critical tone. Memes, reaction videos and opinion threads dissect everything from Meghan’s branding choices to her public appearances, fueling a growing narrative that Hollywood may be quietly distancing itself.
One entertainment blogger wrote: “The invites aren’t as loud. The buzz isn’t as strong. Something has shifted.”
While there is no official confirmation of any industry “boycott,” multiple celebrity commentators have noted a visible change in Meghan’s presence at major events. She has appeared less frequently on elite red carpets, and fewer A-list collaborations have surfaced in recent months — prompting speculation about whether the Sussex brand is losing its once-magnetic pull.
“Hollywood moves fast,” said a public-relations consultant. “And when attention drifts, it drifts hard.”
For Meghan, the backlash is deeply symbolic. Once hailed as a modern royal game-changer who could bridge monarchy and Hollywood stardom, she now faces a far more complicated public image — one shaped by controversy, mixed reception and growing audience fatigue.
Fans insist the criticism is unfair and driven by online negativity. Critics counter that celebrities must evolve to stay relevant, and that public trust can fade quickly in the digital age.
Either way, the numbers speak loudly: the viral lists have clocked millions of views, and Meghan’s name remains one of the most discussed — and divisive — figures of the year.
“It’s a love-her-or-leave-her moment,” one pop-culture analyst observed. “But what’s clear is that she’s no longer untouchable.”
As Hollywood’s spotlight continues to shift toward new faces and rising stars, Meghan’s future projects now carry heavier stakes. Each appearance, each release, each partnership must fight harder to reclaim attention — and goodwill.
Whether the backlash fades or deepens remains to be seen. But one thing is certain:
The silence around Montecito is growing louder —
And the Duchess’s next move may determine whether this is just a rough patch…
Or the beginning of a far more permanent slide.
