Meghan Markle's Friend Jessica Mulroney Just Shared A Cryptic Post
Meghan Markle's (former?) friend Jessica Mulroney got pretty cryptic once again on Instagram on June 27 with a post some fans are speculating may potentially be aimed at the Duchess of Sussex.
Meghan and Mulroney were famously close for many years, and the two regularly appeared on each other's Instagram feeds before the former deleted her account when things got serious with her now husband, Prince Harry. However, things appeared to take a turn between Meghan and her once best friend around June 2020 after the latter faced some serious criticism.
The stylist and TV personality was infamously called out on social media by Sasha Exeter. Exeter claimed in a lengthy Instagram video that Mulroney "took offence" to one of her posts about the Black Lives Matter Movement following the death of George Floyd. She said Mulroney had engaged in "very problematic behaviours and antics" and even claimed she had sent her "a threat in writing" while using her "white privilege."
As a result, Mulroney issued a public apology on Instagram, though both ABC and CTV cut ties with her as a result of the scandal. CTV pulled her show, "I Do, Redo" from the schedules, while her contributor role on ABC's "Good Morning America" came to an end (via Vanity Fair).
Read on for why Mulroney is back in the headlines for her social media activity.
Jessica Mulroney posted about 'losing friends'
Jessica Mulroney shared a cryptic quote about friendship to Instagram Stories on June 27. It read (via Daily Mail), "Life changes. You lose love. You lose friends. You lose pieces of yourself that you never imagined would be gone. And then, without even realizing it, these pieces come back. New love enters. Better friends come along. And a stronger, wiser you, is staring back in the mirror."
Mulroney's post seemed particularly telling as it's been widely speculated after her incident with Sasha Exeter that Meghan may have cut off her former close friend. An Us Weekly source even claimed in June 2020 that Meghan considered "the relationship to be done" as a result of the backlash.
Mulroney deleted Instagram posts featuring the former "Suits" actor in September 2020 (per Vanity Fair) while Meghan stayed quiet in public about her friend. However, that same month, Mulroney claimed in another Instagram Story (via People) that she and Meghan "are family" while calling her "the kindest friend" who'd "checked up on [her] everyday."
Things still seemed to be good in early March when Mulroney defended Meghan amid allegations of bullying on Instagram. "I don't know that anyone has ever had to deal with the pressure, the politics and the press like this woman," she wrote. "I have never seen her waver from kindness, empathy and love." Per Us Weekly, Meghan then sent Mulroney flowers for her birthday on March 14.
Jessica Mulroney left Meghan Markle out of a gushing friendship post
While it seemed like the two had weathered their rough patch and were back on good terms, late March saw Jessica Mulroney leave Meghan Markle out of a post about friendship, which got people talking about the state of their relationship once again.
Mulroney gushed about three of her closest girlfriends in the March 29 Instagram upload as she shared praise for Krystal Koo, Kellie Smith, and Karolina Segal. "So lucky to have the best girlfriends in my life. I'm not sure I would have made it without these three," she wrote in the caption, tagging the three women alongside a photo of the foursome smiling together.
While, of course, not every post on her feed has to be about the Duchess of Sussex, per the Mirror, fans still began speculating after the post that something may have gone awry between the twosome once again. "Yikes, Meghan Markle is not among the best girlfriends. I knew something was up," one person commented on the post. "Are you done with Meghan?" another asked in the comments section.
Jessica Mulroney's drama with Sasha Exeter may have done serious damage to her friendship with Meghan Markle
According to reports, Meghan Markle may have been more upset with Jessica Mulroney following her very public incident with Sasha Exeter than she let on. While Meghan doesn't appear to have spoken publicly about it, a source alleged to Page Six in June 2020 that the whole thing supposedly "gave Meghan the excuse she was waiting for to cut [Mulroney] off for good."
An insider even went on to claim the formerly very close friends had apparently "been on the outs for some time" before Mulroney's name was thrust into the spotlight for all the wrong reasons. "Their friendship is definitely not what it was," they continued, "and really, how can you have such a close friendship when one person is basically making a career out of the friendship?" Ouch.
As for where the twosome stand now? Well, that seems like that's anyone's guess after Mulroney's very cryptic June Instagram post.
