In a shocking turn of events, Meghan Markle found herself the butt of a savage roast on Conan O’Brien’s podcast, “Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend,” as Ryan Reynolds jokingly compared her to a jar of jam. The unexpected jab has stirred up a frenzy, thrusting Meghan back into the spotlight as Hollywood’s go-to punchline.
During a lighthearted discussion about his father’s unusual career transition from cop to food broker, Reynolds, with a playful twist, connected the dots to Markle, suggesting her name is now synonymous with mediocrity in Tinseltown. “He works for Meghan Markle,” O’Brien quipped, setting the stage for Reynolds to deliver a sharp one-liner that hinted at Markle’s plummeting reputation.
The roast wasn’t just a casual jab; it reflects a broader narrative about Markle’s ongoing struggles to maintain a positive public image. Once seen as a royal redefining modern royalty, she has become an easy target for comedians, with Reynolds’ quip epitomizing the disdain many feel towards her in the industry. This public derision comes at a time when Reynolds himself is facing his own controversies, as rumors swirl around his wife Blake Lively’s alleged legal troubles.
The timing couldn’t be more critical. As Reynolds uses Markle as comedic fodder to distract from his own issues, the public is left to question the depths of her fall from grace. This latest mockery serves as a stark reminder: when even Deadpool is throwing shade, it might be time for Meghan to reevaluate her position in the fickle world of Hollywood.
As the drama unfolds, one thing is clear—Meghan Markle’s status as a cultural punching bag shows no signs of fading, and her attempts to reclaim the narrative may need more than just a podcast to turn the tide.
