'Turns out Meghan Markle was not a great audio talent, or necessarily any kind of talent': Hollywood talent agency supremo Jeremy Zimmer dismisses Duchess as a talentless broadcaster after Spotify axed its $22m deal with the Sussexes​

The Duchess of Sussex has been dismissed as a talentless broadcaster by one of Hollywood’s most powerful figures.

Jeremy Zimmer, who has guided the film careers of stars such as Benedict Cumberbatch and Damian Lewis, gave his withering verdict on the abilities of the American former actress after streaming giant Spotify axed its £18million deal with her and Prince Harry after just one podcast series.

Zimmer, the chief executive of United Talent Agency, said he was not surprised that Spotify had ditched the couple.

‘Turns out Meghan Markle was not a great audio talent, or necessarily any kind of talent,’ he said.

Speaking to the news website Semafor at the Cannes Lions advertising festival in France, Zimmer added. ‘And, you know, just because you’re famous, doesn’t make you great at something.’

And what of the streaming companies themselves, who showered them with these multi-million dollar deals? Were they competent? It was a known fact that they did not have the proven ability to produce what seems to have been expected of them (i.e. top-quality podcasts, documentaries or other 'content'). I said it many months ago in this thread that Harry and Meghan do not have any value to offer these streaming companies. Instead, it seems like their taking on the Markles in such circumstances was an attempt to undermine the British monarchy, by publicly rewarding them at the height of their defamation campaign against the Royal Family.

After they have proven their uselessness, and particularly after the South Park episode, and their subsequently becoming the laughing stock of Hollywood, they are being cast aside by Spotify and Netflix as damaged goods. Anyone who lacked the courage to criticize them publicly before is piling on them now, and it almost makes me feel sorry for them. They are possibly finding that their treatment in Hollywood is much more brutal than anything they would have experienced had they decided to remain in Britain.

The streaming companies were doing just that, jumping on the train of negativity against the British monarchy, which at the time, was heightened by Harry and Meghan's actions...Harry revealed (or confirmed) himself as a dim-witted muppet and Meghan showed her cards and she had nothing, not even much talent, even though she has performed in the entertainment industry prior to marrying Harry...To me the actions of Spotify and others is not much different than the actions of all the various companies with the absurd transsexual movement, jumping on that wagon to turn a profit, but things are backfiring...Many of the investment companies behind the scenes are forcing some of these actions too by only providing investment and loans if the companies in question get involved in these social movements...I'm sure Netflix and Spotify in particular were hoping for a big payday from Harry and Meghan, turns out the Sussexes came to America as carpetbaggers...

South Park was the home run that changed the whole momentum of the Sussexes in America, in my opinion...There is no way Harry and Meghan could go after the South Park creators, (as they have done with others who gave them butthurt) they can only grin and bare it...I really don't feel sorry for them, of all people, Meghan should have known how harsh Hollywood can be, maybe she thought she had a golden shield of invincibility by dragging Harry into all of that...I believe she has been the driving force behind all of Harry's actions against the British monarchy, he's too much of a plum, he may wear the pants in the public spotlight but she wears the pants at home and runs him...

Taylor Swift's brutal rejection of Meghan Markle's plea to appear on her podcast proves stars want proximity to real royals - not the bitter Sussexes. That's why I'm told Harry and the desperate Duchess will be dropped by Netflix next​

Hollywood celebrities and American A-listers loved Harry and Meghan when they were members of the British Royal Family. As bitter and twisted grenade throwers on a kamikaze mission to bring down the monarchy, even as the highly respected late Queen and Prince Philip were close to death, not so much. Being publicly associated with Harry and Meghan on a work project is not worth the potential brand damage for any bona fide star, especially one like Swift who has spent years building up a working relationship with Prince William, who represents the future of the royals. Not to mention former allies like the Obamas who still hold genuine political clout in the liberal US circles Meghan, who still has the unshakeable confidence to believe she could one day end up in the Oval Office herself, covets. That's part of the reason why I'm convinced Netflix is now desperate to follow Spotify out the door and sever their formal $100million deal with the Sussexes when it expires in 2025.

Riots erupt in Paris after policeman 'executes' driver, 17, who broke traffic rules having told him: 'I'm going to lodge a bullet in your head'​

Rioting broke out in a Paris suburb tonight as a policeman stands accused of executing a teenage driver in cold blood after telling him: 'I'm going to lodge a bullet in your head'.

The killing was videoed in Nanterre, to the west of the French capital, earlier today after the youth – who is from an Algerian background – was said to have broken traffic rules.

The victim was soon identified as Nael, a 17-year-old delivery driver, while the officer was arrested and placed in custody.

As youths began to pour on to the streets this evening, setting fire to dustbins and buildings, Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin appealed for calm.

He told the National Assembly in Paris that the images posted on social media were 'extremely shocking and worrying,' and urged people to 'respect the grief of the family and the presumption of innocence of the police'.

Meghan and Harry 'believe they have been "repeatedly unlucky" and blame Covid, economic woes, the death of the Queen and the failing of Prince Philip's health for their faltering attempts to launch post-royal careers'​

Meghan and Harry believe they have been 'repeatedly unlucky' amid their flagging fortunes
The Duke and Duchess only have one major deal left since Megxit - the $100million contract signed with streaming giant Netflix - after they were embarrassingly ditched by Spotify last month. Netflix is also reportedly planning not to renew their deal with the Sussexes when it expires in 2025. However, the couple are said to be convinced that their apparent downfall has nothing to do with them, and instead feel they have been 'repeatedly unlucky' with other world events.

Rioters ram mayor's home with burning car 'in assassination attempt'

Rioters rammed a car into the home of Mayor Vincent Jeanbrun, of the town of L'Hay-les-Roses. He branded the attack, which injured his wife and child, as an 'assassination attempt'.
www.dailymail.co.uk www.dailymail.co.uk

Apparently rioters tried to kill the mayor by launching a burning car into his house, in an attack which is said to have injured his wife and children.

I have seen claims also that the policeman who shot 17-year-old miscreant, in the event which triggered the riots, was not a white Frenchman, but also of North African extraction.

What do the proponents of mass immigration into Europe and multiculturalism have to say now?

Wild social media videos show scale of French riot chaos as looters ransack stores, fire AK-47s in the streets and hijack bus​

Thousands of people have been filmed in cities from Paris to Marseille clashing with police, setting fire to buildings and - in some cases - even firing guns into the air. The unrest - sparked by the police shooting of 17-year-old Nahel M. - appeared to slow on its sixth night, but still public buildings, cars and municipal trash cans were targeted nationwide by fires and vandalism overnight and into Monday morning. In all, according to the Interior Ministry, there were 157 arrests overnight, out of a total of 3,354 arrests in all since June 27, while 45,000 officers were deployed nationwide to counter violence fueled by anger over discrimination. Macron has zeroed in on social media platforms that have relayed dramatic images of vandalism and cars and buildings being torched. Singling out Snapchat and TikTok, he said they were being used to organize unrest and served as conduits for copycat violence.

The grape escape: Shocking moment thieves steal nine bottles of some of the world's most expensive wines​


The daring heist, which took place at an upmarket wine warehouse in Spain's Costa Brava, saw the robbers steal £100,000 worth of wine in broad daylight while the store was packed with customers. Store CCTV footage shows two of the three men walking from different directions towards the tall glass vault containing only rare vintage wines on Sunday. One man can be seen pulling a crowbar from a fellow robber's waistband before kneeling down in front of the sealed door of the vault. The second robber pulls a high-pressure suction cup from the front of his shorts before helping open the door. Then - as the pair pull the glass vault door open - a third thief carrying a rucksack joins them and they all begin piling the expensive wine bottles into the bag. The video shows how one of the thieves appeared to be directing the other two men on which of the bottles to steal, suggesting he knew which were the most rare and expensive bottles of the collection.

Dutch government falls as coalition partners clash over immigration​

Mark Rutte, the Dutch prime minister, has announced his resignation and that of his cabinet, citing irreconcilable differences within his four-party coalition about how to control immigration.

The decision on Friday by the Netherlands’ longest-serving premier means the country will face a general election later this year for the 150-seat lower house of parliament.

“It is no secret that the coalition partners have very different views on migration policy,” Rutte told reporters in The Hague. “And today, unfortunately, we have to draw the conclusion that those differences are irreconcilable. That is why I will immediately … offer the resignation of the entire cabinet to the king in writing.”

Rutte said he would lead a caretaker government until the election that would focus on tasks including continued support for Ukraine’s war effort.

Opposition lawmakers wasted no time in calling for fresh elections.

Geert Wilders, leader of the anti-immigration Party for Freedom, tweeted: “Quick elections now.” Jesse Klaver, leader of the Green Left party also called for elections and told Dutch broadcaster NOS: “This country needs a change of direction.”

Rutte had presided over late-night meetings on Wednesday and Thursday that failed to result in a deal on migration policy. More talks were held on Friday evening, and he had declined to answer questions about the issue at his weekly press conference before the discussions.

“Everybody wants to find a good, effective solution that also does justice to the fact that this is about human lives,” finance minister Sigrid Kaag, a member of the centrist D66 party, said before the talks began.

The discussions underscored ideological divisions in the coalition between the partner parties that do not support a strict crackdown on migration – D66 and fellow centrist party ChristenUnie, or Christian Union – and the two that favour tougher measures – Rutte’s conservative People’s Party for Freedom and Democracy and the Christian Democrats.

The coalition tried for months to hash out a deal to reduce the flow of new migrants arriving in the country of nearly 18 million people.

Meanwhile in France, the National Assembly passed a new bill to allow police remotely activate phone camera and microphones, to spy on people.

On the one side, you have the Biden Administration that doesn’t want to lose the next presidential election and thus has to censor millions of Americans before 2024.

On the other side, you have Macron and his government who want to spy on everybody constantly.

Both don’t want to lose control and are using their positions and powers to continue their crackdown on freedoms. They are tyrants, pure and simple.

Remote Activation Of “Snitch” Phones Adopted By The National Assembly​

The National Assembly on Wednesday approved the possibility of remotely activating mobile phones to listen to and film people targeted in organized crime and terrorism investigations. After the senators, the deputies validated by 80 votes against 24 this key article of the programming bill for justice, examined at first reading since Monday at the Palais-Bourbon.

The deputies of the presidential camp, LR and RN voted in favor. Those of Nupes voted against, like the president of the LIOT group, Bertrand Pancher.

Article 3 provides for authorizing the remote triggering of cameras or microphones of computers and other connected devices, such as telephones, without the knowledge of the persons concerned, with two different purposes. On the one hand, real-time geolocation for certain offences. On the other hand, the activation of microphones and cameras to capture sound and images, which would be reserved for cases of terrorism and delinquency and organized crime.
