Duchess Meghan sent her ARO jam to Chrissy Teigen as the British media wept

Wednesday morning, I thought to myself “it’s been a few days since a celebrity popped up with a jar of American Riviera Orchard jam,” and then just hours later, we got another one. Chrissy Teigen received an ARO basket from the Duchess of Sussex, with lemons and a fancy jar of strawberry jam. Teigen is far from my fave, but I appreciate the fact that she highlighted the use for ARO jam besides “application on one piece of toast.” Teigen fried up some bacon and made the ARO jam into the star of a grilled-brie-and-bacon sandwich.

This is in Teigen’s wheelhouse and that’s likely why she got a gift basket. Plus, Teigen has been loyal to the Sussexes, so… good for her, I guess. I find her grating, but I think Meghan has a soft spot for people who are chaotic and extra. As Tim Teeman said about this jam soft-launch, the whole thing is camp (he meant it as a compliment).

Anyway, Meghan and ARO jam are once again getting a lot of attention, especially from the British media. Earlier this week, it was announced that the Sussexes have hired one person to act as their communications liaison in the UK and Europe. The guy’s name is Charlie Gipson. The reaction was mostly a yawn from Sussex-friendly people – it was like “oh, good, someone to help out with the global ARO launch.” But inside the Telegraph, the news of Gipson’s hire landed like a bomb. Suddenly, the Telegraph truly believes that they can and should advise Meghan on how to reintroduce herself to a British audience and how she can “repair” her “tattered reputation in Britain.” Seriously, the Telegraph devoted a lengthy article to this very thing, like they truly believe Meghan is desperate for acceptance in the UK, and that she would earnestly take advice from the Telegraph’s cracked-out team of “PR professionals.”

I’m not going to excerpt from the Telegraph’s piece but I’ll summarize some of the craziest sh-t these people said. One, they demand that Meghan show “humility” and copy what Sophie and Anne are doing. She needs more friendships in the philanthropic arena, not just OPRAH. She needs to “build bridges with some of her biggest critics.” PLEASE BEG US FOR OUR ACCEPTANCE, MEGHAN. One PR consultant suggests that Meghan needs to “be less American” and that she should halt her ARO launch until Charles and Kate are cancer-free. Jeez, I guess this means that Meghan is never going to make a comeback in the UK! Still, it’s always funny to watch the British media obsess over every little thing around Meghan and then cry about how she’s not doing enough to warrant their obsession. They should dab their tears with strawberry jam. Oh wait, Meghan didn’t send them any.

    Copy Sophie and Anne? Live off the public and give them less than full time work for the privilege?

    • Angied says:

      What those morons fail to understand is that Harry was attracted to her because of who she is. Seriously that want Meghan to be like milk toast. Sorry, that ain’t never going to happen. Meghan is smart, vivacious and funny. On top of that she is gorgeous. I think this whole strawberry jam thing is brilliant marketing. I can’t wait for ARO to come out. There is nobody in that pale and stale family like her and Harry. The charisma is off the charts for those two and I believe that are holding back a little.

    • theRobinsons says:

      @ KAISER
      LOLOLOLOL I ❤️ it

      • BeanieBean says:

        🙂 I particular enjoyed her, ‘dry your tears with strawberry jam, oh, wait, Meghan didn’t send you any.’ 👏🤣

    • Agnes says:

      Copy Sophie and Anne: dress like a frump and sic your pitbulls on other dogs. The whole island is insane. SO glad we kicked their asses out in 1776.

  2. Lolo86lf says:

    It’s breakfast time in Florida and my mouth is watering looking at that sandwich. I hope Meghan sells tons of ARO jam.

  3. Hypocrisy says:

    I’m a huge John Legend fan, and I loved this. They sure have beautiful children and the sandwich looked delicious and I plan on making it myself. It was a great way to showcase the jam imo. Now for the truly important question 🙋🏻‍♀️ where can I get the pan she used to toast her sandwich in? I have to have that in my kitchen🤗
    As for Meghan my advice would be, never take advice from someone who writes gossip and propaganda for a living. These people are like illiterate fools lecturing scholars, which sadly seems to be a thing in today’s world.

    • equality says:

      It would be funny if the pan was the ARO product.

    • Snuffles says:

      No doubt the pan is part of her Cravings collection. I have one of her pans and I use it all the time. It’s my go to.

      And this is why Chrissy was happy to showcase Meghan’s jam. It was a brilliant move on Meghan’s part because that sandwich looked SCRUMPTIOUS!

      • Advisor2U says:

        I just checked her ”cravingsbychrissyteigen” website and Insta. I think Meghan’s ARO might be a bit like that plus the gardening part of her brand.

    • Brailler says:

      @Hypocrisy, not totally sure but it’s possible it might be the Always Pan from Our Place…? I have one and it looks extremely similar.

      • Advisor2U says:

        It’s definitely her pan. It’s on her IG/website.That was the deal, obviously – I promote the ARO jam, while promoting my Cravings brand.

    • Jan says:

      Their are Chrissy’s cookware on Amazon.

    • Becks1 says:

      I was seeing on social media that it was one of Chrissy’s pans from her Cravings line – showing its possible to promote two things at once for yourself and someone else and everyone benefits!!

      Chrissy is problematic and we have gone into that here before. But she knows how to use social media and this was a great video. that sandwich looked amazing.

      LOL to the idea that Meghan needs to build bridges. If anything this has been a weeks-long exhibit of why she doesn’t need to do a damn thing when it comes to the UK. She has plenty of support here.

      • BeanieBean says:

        And build bridges with her biggest critics?? Did he mean the rota rats?? They’re the ones who criticized her the most! Make peace with your tormenters. Sure, right, that’s good advice. 🙄

    • Hypocrisy says:

      Found and bookmarked the pan.. waiting to see what ARO releases in their product line before I make a purchase 😁.. thanks🤗

    • Matilda says:

      I was like, forget the jam, I need that pan! Anything to make clean up easier. I see it’s from her own line. I think Chrissy feels the coast is clear as I see her image now on the beauty line that she and John have as before it was just him.

  4. aquarius64 says:

    The only one that is desperate is the UK media because it’s losing money from no Sussex engagement, especially Meghan. The royal fluff stories don’t keep the lights on; and it won’t report on legitimate scandals because of the invisible contract.

    • Christine says:

      I really hope they think about all of the miles and miles of content Meghan (and Harry) would have given them as working royals before they abused them to another continent while they weep into their pillows at night. They really had them RIGHT THERE, excited to work. Oh well.

  5. Amy T says:

    If anyone deserves jam for “loyalty to the Sussexes,” Kaiser, it’s you. Thanks in advance for letting us know when it arrives.

    • North of Boston says:

      I like to think that Kaiser’s more of a calls it like she sees it person vs just posting out of loyalty.

      Most likely CB posts about the Sussexes, the good stuff they do and how they move in the world, in a positive way … not out of loyalty, but because they are doing good stuff and moving in the world with grace, style, decency and kindness. So it’s natural to be positive about it. Plus they are a living illustration of the saying:

      “If you have good thoughts they will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely.”

      So they look gorgeous and charming in photos, making easy for all of us to click and read 🙂

      But CB also points out when they think the Sussexes have missed the mark, like with some potential missed PR stuff over the last year.

      So not loyalty, just a take on what is going on, good or bad. It’s just that with H & M what’s going on is almost always good: supporting charities, uplifting others, loving and caring for their kids and their friends, living their best lives, in style, and without trying to drag anyone down (unless it’s the trash media systematically and deliberately making up, spreading lies, disinformation)

    • Proud Mary says:

      It’s interesting that not being abusive towards the couple, or telling lies about them, constitutes loyalty. It’s like the way the British media treat Omid Scobie. They don’t see their invisible contract coverage, which includes rampant lies and smears of Harry and Meghan to be the problem, but they see his mere objective approach as deserving their ire. I beg to differ with your assessment I’ve seen Kaiser criticize Harry and Meghan several times in way that has made the SS pretty peeved. But I’m here because this probably is one of the few places in the world that offers objective coverage of the royal family and pushes back against the lies of the British press.

      • Becks1 says:

        I also think there is a big misunderstanding among many about this site; its not a Sussex Squad site. This site was started loooong before Meghan came onto the royal scene. I think royal gossip has always been a big mainstay of this site and Kaiser has been one of the few who consistently isn’t afraid to criticize Kate or even just make fun (wiglets, buttons and frozen smiles, oh my!). And while I think Kaiser and CB are fans of Meghan, they’re not squaddies and the point of Celebitchy isn’t to be a Meghan fan site.

        The comments are obviously very pro-Sussex, but sometimes I see comments that imply Kaiser should never criticize Meghan or Harry and that’s not what Celebtichy is. It’s meant to be more objective, even with a strong pro Sussex bias, so that means its not 100% “H&M can do no wrong” – which is fine, but sometimes people forget that.

      • Amy T says:

        I probably should have said “courage” and “integrity.” Because sadly, when someone is being maligned and gaslit by a person or institution with enough power to influence the narrative, simply doing the right thing – following the facts and acting or reporting on them – are acts of courage and integrity.

      • Lorelei says:

        @Becks, 🎯

  6. rosa mwemaid says:

    Meghan doesn’t have to do anything, the British media needs to confess to all their lies about her, and tell us, the public the source of all their nasty briefings, they only thing then needed is for the media to tell the truth, and for Meghan to change her skin colour, place of birth and profession before she met Harry.

  7. Kat says:

    The Telegraph’s advice is a repeat of the “be 50% less” advice she got before. It’s the same advice as always – disappear, beg for acceptance, never get any attention, and maybe we’ll forgive that you exist. They should die of embarrassment for publishing that.

    • Brassy Rebel says:

      My thoughts exactly, Kat. She could never fit in this family, or, apparently, in this country because she is a strong, independent woman. The Telegraph is telling on itself. Pun intended.

    • Debbie says:

      It’s called the bargaining phase and I think that the rota is stuck in their 5 stages of grief at her leaving. They keep bouncing back between anger and bargaining.

    • Jais says:

      The have more humility part! What does that even mean or look like? They want her to bow and scrape when she walks around? Should she be less proud? Yeah, I think the Telegraph was helpful in that Meghan should basically do the opposite of whatever they say.

      • Eurydice says:

        Well, since the RF are anointed by God, Meghan should be humble before them. But she’s got the odd notion that she’s just as good as they are – blasphemy!

  8. Inge says:

    I hadn’t really thought of a strawberry jam/brie/bacon combo but it sounds good

    • Jks says:

      I’m fascinated and intrigued by that combo! I don’t usually mix sweet and savoury but I know it’s common.

      • Becks1 says:

        I don’t know about brie, but one of our local restaurants has a great chicken salad sandwich and they’ll add a bacon jam to it and melt the whole thing and its delicious. This seems similar to me – the combo of salty sweet gooey goodness.

      • Snuffles says:

        @becks

        I had a baked Brie with honey once and it was DIVINE.

      • Jks says:

        @ BECKS1, now I’m intrigued by this bacon jam! Looking up recipe.

      • QuiteContrary says:

        I make baked brie with raspberry jam for every social gathering between Thanksgiving and Christmas LOL. Adding bacon would be delightful.

    • Dara says:

      Y’all, my favorite sandwich is grilled (do the Brits say toasted?) cheese. If I’m feeling fancy, I add bacon and some sort of sweet element. If jam isn’t your jam (sorry), razor thin sliced apple works too. The options and combinations are endless. Brie might be a little rich for my taste, I usually go for a milder Cheddar (sharp Cheddar doesn’t melt well), or Provolone.

      • BeanieBean says:

        @Dara: I had a grilled cheese sandwich at a restaurant once, & they sprinkled parmesan in the pan before adding the sandwich. Try it! It adds a crunchy bit to the overall gooeyness of the sandwich.

      • Dara says:

        @BeanieBean – that sounds amazing! I do love it when the cheese melts down the edge of the bread and crisps up on the pan surface. It never occurred to me to do it on purpose.

    • Blithe says:

      Oh yum! I’ve had Brie and other similar triple crème cheeses with jam or marmalade. I’ve had them with bacon. I’ve never had the combination of cheese with bacon AND jam. My weekend brunch plans are clear now!

      • JanetDR says:

        I had a haverti grilled cheese with fig jam at a restaurant once and it was so delicious! They used brioche bread, I think, I use sourdough. I should make one today because I’m about to do a couple of months gluten and dairy free!

  9. Tessa says:

    Keep up the news about the jam Meghan. It’s good to see derangers upset.

  10. TN Democrat says:

    ROTA: Harry and Meghan are never coming back and you are stuck covering a raging, abusive alcoholic future king, the stalker he had to settle for with a grifter family and a bunch of odd, dull, dysfunctional elderly people. The hypocrisy of allowing every royal family member, even the tacky son of Camilla, to make a living off the royal “brand” while denying Harry and his family the right to financial independence is stunning. Financial abuse/control is a key component of most DA situations. This type of coverage is just so toxic and abusive.

  11. Jan says:

    Chrissy is extra, playing Bob Marley was just the icing on the cake.
    Always the business woman, showing how easy her pans are to clean.
    Looking at pictures of Meghan, Chrissy and Serena in a charity game before the Superbowl.

  12. Laura D says:

    I’m loving this roll-out. It’s fun and keeping “everyone” engaged as to who will be next. The de-rangers are in complete melt downs but, can’t help themselves and just have to make a comment which in turn helps the product reach a wider audience. Every single reveal has posts from people who can’t stand Meghan but can’t resist the urge to comment. Chrissy’s has been my favourite so far but, I did actually laugh out loud when I saw Kris Jenner had received a jar. I’m not a follower of the Kardashians but, even I know who she is and how much clout she has.

    Props to Meghan, the interest (and meltdowns) in a few jars of jam has generated across the globe is priceless. It also has the added bonus of annihilating the myth that no-one in “Hollywood” likes her. Let’s be honest if these people didn’t like her they wouldn’t be taking part in advertising her new company for free.

    • Eurydice says:

      I also laughed when I saw that Kris got one. It’s delightful, isn’t it? With each reveal the roster of Team Meghan gets bigger and bigger.

    • WiththeAmerican says:

      Yeah I can’t stand them but I howled when I saw that. The combined Instagram power of those two accounts is insane.

      • Where'sMyTiara says:

        Meanwhile the clueless rota is still crying about Oprah. SMDH.

        Meghan’s not well connected in the Philanthropy arena?
        Really, rota?

        -Sentebale
        -Invictus Games
        -Grenfell Ladies

        She has charities clamoring for her support and the CEOs to fund them on speed dial. Are the Rota living in discarded shoes? Under bridges with the other trolls? Because their insistence that she’s nothing without the BRF is an absolute dark fairy tale. No basis in fact. It’s just more fanfic for the royalists.

  13. Lady Digby says:

    What would all these people have to write about if Meg and Harry hadn’t existed? Would they be forced to actually write about Willy and enquire why he had gone to seed, apologies, I mean gone to ground? Seriously without Meg and Harry leading active lives what would the rRR be writing about if they can’t cover FK lengthy absences or discuss his erratic appearances.

  14. Mina_Esq says:

    Be less American and be more…what? British? I thought they didn’t want her to trade in on her titles. Maybe now they are realizing that aspirational California living is more appealing to the giant American market for luxury home goods than some crusty old British title and dilapidated old cottages. They can’t stand that she rejected them like she rejected Pierce Morgan.

    • WiththeAmerican says:

      It was interesting that they had that as the title and then changed it to rag on Meghan as a person more, because right now, they need America. All of their right wing bitter attacks on their biggest ally are getting old.

  15. Tina says:

    Chrissy’s video is so good she definitely understood the assignment. Having Luna and John in it was so cute. And I howled when I saw that Kris got one too. The fact that these people will happily post shows that Meghan has a support network of powerful and connected people and that makes me happy. Manifesting an Oprah post soon.

  16. Schrodinger's Kate says:

    Exactly, @Mina_Esq

    Be less American? It’s AMERICAN Riviera Orchard. This just reinforced my stance that Meghan’s name for her new venture was indeed the right choice. It’s her statement and it rankles the British press. Go Meghan!

    • Where'sMyTiara says:

      She’s saying it with her whole chest: “screw you I’m not coming baaack to sell your papers for you”

  17. Watson says:

    The comments on Chrissy’s post are insane. The deranges have lost the plot over a jar of jam. Normal people who don’t know what Meghan has been going through are looking at these posts and realizing just how nuts these people are. It’s glorious!!

  18. Nanea says:

    Christy at the Oscars way back when…, that’s why the Derangers tried to put a negative spin on this, but John is an EGOT.

    Christy and Meghan go way back, that’s probably where this relationship stems from. And Meghan supported Chrissy when she had the stillbirth.

    Chrissy being a celeb cook, this was perfect.

    To those wanting to try cheese and jam without the bacon: blue cheeses like Roquefort or Gorgonzola or similar also taste nice, either on toasted sourdough or on those German-style dark grainy breads – with a dollop of strawberry, rhubarb, fig or apricot jam or quince or apple jelly.

  19. Lady Digby says:

    If RR produced their own jam would it be made up of sour grapes and bitter tears?

  20. MsIam says:

    That’s right Meghan, continue to do the exact opposite of what the British media and their paid for “experts” tell you to do and you should be fine. They actually think she’s still listening to them, don’t they? Haven’t they realized they are shouting at a closed door?

  21. Amy Bee says:

    The British press is so desperate for acknowledgement from and access to Meghan. It’s sad.

    • Where'sMyTiara says:

      And just so they can drag her and hate on her again and use her to compare with their Missing White Supremacist Princess.

      Don’t compete where you can’t compare, rota. Go find your missing duchess.

  22. Concern Fae says:

    Reducing actual living, breathing, hardworking women’s work to “camp” is never a compliment. Camp is a knowing spectacle. I’m not seeing the wink here.

  23. Amy says:

    I seriously will recreate Chrissy’s sandwich. That looked so GOOD!

    • Laura D says:

      Same here. It looked so good, and unlike a certain missing duchess it looked like Chrissy really does know how to use a frying pan! 😉 😆

  24. Amy says:

    I seriously will recreate Chrissy’s sandwich. That looked so GOOD!

  25. Mslove says:

    That sandwich looks delicious. I wonder what kind of bread she used, sourdough maybe? I hate cooking bacon, it stinks up my kitchen, but I’m gonna make this sandwich.

  26. Lau says:

    The best she can do is continue to ignore them, they don’t deserve her time or her attention.

  27. Nokitty! says:

    I would not be surprised if Chrissy is a guest on Meghan’s cooking show. Didn’t she write a cookbook? A natural fit, IMO.

  28. Angel says:

    Didin’t Chrissy Teigen cyberbullied a minor ?

    • Bearcat says:

      Bullied a sexually abused minor, both publicly and privately. Chrissy Teigen isn’t the friend flex these commenters seem to think it is, but she will get a pass because Meghan likes her.

      • Becks1 says:

        Chrissy and Meghan have known each for years in one capacity or another, and Chrissy defended Meghan very strongly around the time of the Oprah interview, and Meghan reached out to Chrissy when they lost Jack.

        So there is a history there.

        But that aside, for all Chrissy’s issues (because she definitely is not unproblematic), she has a large social media following and this whole video is designed to showcase the jam, showcase her pan, and drive the haters insane. And that’s what many of us find hilarious, because she 100% understood the assignment.

      • Ennie says:

        Well, Meghan has to only mingle with overly perfect people for people not to criticize her. Chrissy has improved from her alcoholic days, and is is a longtime acquaintance / friend of Meghan’s. Harry despite his horribly problematic family, she also has a problematic family side, and she loved her dad, so get off your high horse.

      • Lilly (with the double-L) says:

        I’ve dealt with so many imperfect people in their climb to get better. There was always something not in their control that made the wounds, which they did not know how to survive without becoming toxic. So, I was often glad of the poor tool that kept them alive, then it’s up to the person to put down the double-edged tool and improve. For her imperfections, I still really appreciate Chrissy. Same for some of the Kardashians. Sure, I appreciate the “bitchy” in the title here and I’m not perfect – like at all. But, I’m not going to gate keep this level of celeb. It’s too nuanced to get much of a useful discussion. I appreciate reading opinions also. However, I’m very cautious atm, because of bots and toxicity leading up to the election and our label of Sussex-stans. Plus, I abhor tsk, shame-based, how dare you, criticisms. It screams colonizer to me, based on my school and lifetime experiences with that type of control. Still, I also love the Celebitchies and disagreements are generally survivable and the regulars support for one another is always lovely. If Will and Kate ever took on that type of transparent growth and anti-racism, I’m sure there would be many in our community who would respect that. But…

      • Angel says:

        @Ennie I don’t know about you If my friend was telling an abused minor to k**** herself I would never speak to her again. Chrissy has never even apologized to the girl to begin with. I am against cyberbullying regardless of the person involved. I don’t Know how you can sit here and defend this.

      • ArtFossil says:

        @Angel: Teigen apologized publicly in 2021.

  29. Charfromdarock says:

    I know it’s not about the jam but the absolute meltdown in the BP and RF “fans” over a crock of jam and a few lemons is *hilarious*.

    Your King is dying, your FQ is MIIA (missing in inaction), a Pedo Prince, a side piece for the Q, a completely incompetent FK, and a woman giving away jam 5000 miles away is the biggest story!?!

    • Sue says:

      You just can’t make this stuff up! Seriously, a woman living thousands of miles away is selling jam and that’s way more important than anything going on in the Royal Family or in the UK right now? I’d love to dismiss this as just tabloid nonsense but even the broadsheets are covering this and it’s just nuts!

  30. BeanieBean says:

    Be less American??? Oh, FFS. Cry harder, England. 🙄

  31. Delphine says:

    Weren’t they on the show with the briefcases together? I think Meghan is just a loyal friend. It’s a good sign that they’re still friends.

  32. QuiteContrary says:

    They want her to be less Black. Not less American. Less Black.

    Less beautiful. Less ambitious. Less successful. Less beloved.

    • Oh come on. says:

      Yep. And if someone gives you “advice” to “be less” of something that’s part of who you are, they’re telling you you’ll never please them. So you can proudly disregard their advice.

  33. Ale says:

    Still don’t understand the link between the strawberry jam and lemons, it looks so random.
    I think it would be so much cooler to send a lemon jam and lemons, like, you know “if life gives you lemons, make a jam” or something.

    • Ennie says:

      Meghan and Harry have lemon trees in their garden/yard, ao they can probably be their own.

      • Ale says:

        If they sent 6 or 7 lemons with every package, 50 packages…poor trees..

      • Lilly (with the double-L) says:

        I kind of wish I had a lemon tree, but I already have too many trees and plants that grow too much for me to eat and give away. But, the birds eat all the cherries before I have a chance.

      • Jaded says:

        @Ale — they have to be harvested yearly. Would you want the lemons to fall off and rot?

      • Ennie says:

        Poor trees? They are producing the lemons anyway 🤦🏻‍♀️ they are not forcing them. Maybe you have never had a lemon tree that really produces, or you are just looking for anything to criticise her.

      • MsIam says:

        @Enne, looks like the Meghan haters have reared their heads. What’s next, criticizing Meghan for breathing too much air?

      • equality says:

        My dad just had a dwarf lemon tree that was in the house and got all kinds of lemons.

    • Oh come on. says:

      Hehe so now we should feel sorry for trees if Meghan picks fruit off them? 👀

  34. Lisa says:

    I hope she sends A basket to Charles and Kate! With a note to enjoy!

  35. Harper says:

    Meghan is in her happy bubble in Montecito and these idiotic Telegraph articles will never ever reach her. But these trolls can’t stop addressing her as if she cares. Meghan is like a cartoon character that they will not let go of.

    Meanwhile, today marks four months since Kate appeared in public. Where is she?

  36. Julianna says:

    They are losing their ever loving minds over Meghans jam haha. I’m actually finding their meltdowns on Twitter amusing. They are making bigger clowns out of themselves by the minute.

    And did I really just read a comment above that said “poor trees” regarding the lemons being picked????????????????

    • Poppy says:

      Imagine, she might even have picked some lemons wearing dark nail polish, or (whisper it) no pantyhose. Off with her head!

  37. Poppy says:

    “They should dab their tears with strawberry jam. Oh wait, Meghan didn’t send them any.”

    HAH! This is the kind of quality snark I come here for 🙂

  38. Stef says:

    Saw some stuff on twitter where they’d compiled several very cringe tweets from Krissy where she constantly mentions pedophilia. The tweets are pretty weird and I can’t help but wonder what she’s thinking.

    Of course, the UK media will use those gross tweets to somehow implicate Meghan and further their terrible reporting.

    • Interested Gawker says:

      That’s a strange tact to take with Andrew and the very long sordid history of the BRF and their associates. The BM have maligned the Sussexes as being ‘like the Kardashians’ for years I think its funny to have one enter the chat as a jam recipient. I can’t imagine the BM can stir up anything more among people who aren’t already firmly in the haters camp anyway.

  39. Saucy&Sassy says:

    “One PR consultant suggests that Meghan needs to “be less American”

    The rrs are once again letting the world know that the UK doesn’t have a very good opinion of Americans. Okay. We’ll remember that when any member of the brf is a GUEST in our Country. Thanks for the heads up!

    I assume there is the fragrance of lemons in the strawberry jam. I’m one of those people who subscribe to the belief that a hint of lemon brightens and enhances almost everything.

      Acid “brightens” a lot of dishes–it’s a good thing to add through citrus or vinegar if a dish needs some flavor “sprucing up.” It would be a great add to berry jam!

    Curious to see the reaction if the Bidens and Obamas were to get jam and publicize it.

    I actually like Chrissy as she’s not afraid to be vocal and calls people out. She’s a strong woman and I dare for the BM to psst her off- they’ll just unleash a tiger and more of her followers trolling that island(that gets weaker by the day).
    And the nerve of those idiots to tell M to be “less American”. They don’t own the US and they don’t own Americans.

    @artfossil. No, Chrissy posted a post where she acknowledged having done horrible things bc of substance issues and craving others’ attention. Also, she lamented her followers wouldn’t like her as much and announced she’d withdraw from sm for a while . She claimed having apologized to Courtney in private… which Courtney publicly refuted.
    Courtney was not only a minor, but someone with a difficult rearing who was currently undergoing domestic abuse from her drug 4ddict, 20yr older problematic husband when Chrissy bullied her.
    Back when it all happened, Internet was an even less kind place than now. Everybody roasted, dissed or mocked others at some point. What crossed the line is Chrissy harassed this kid, in private, and conmined her to k1ll herself. Several times.
    And then had the nerve to capitalize on #MeToo and BLM tidal waves, pointing fingers and ‘clapping back’ over social causes.
    She’s disgraced and can’t show to an event but as John’s plus one, so it doesn’t read very triumphantly that Meghan is resorting to her for promoting her new endeavor. Kris Jenner is rich & succesful, but her entire brand is tacky and ethically questionable. I’m not sure whether Meghan elevates her business by this association.
