In a surprising turn of events, Lady T has made claims that WME (William Morris Endeavor) represents or has connections with all the celebrities who attended Kevin Costner’s recent event.
Lady T’s understanding is that Kevin Costner was pressured into allowing Harry and Meghan to be special guests, albeit reluctantly.
It seems he wanted to ensure there was no contact between himself and Meghan, as he reportedly does not like her.
In fact, a source revealed that Meghan’s presence makes him cringe.
During the event, Kevin Costner, who served as the host, made a comment about friends with no manners asking about the cost of a property.
Some speculate that this was a subtle reference to Harry and Meghan.
It is widely known that Meghan has been criticized for her inappropriate and inaccurate remarks, often passing them off as her own subjective truths.
Allegedly, Costner had been trying to avoid any interaction with the couple throughout the event.
Photos from the occasion clearly show him keeping his distance from them.
An insider recently shed light on the situation, sharing their experience with a friend who works as an agent at WME.
After a few cocktails, the insider asked about WME’s involvement with Meghan Markle and how the signing or representation came about.
The friend rolled their eyes and described it as a complete mess.
According to the insider, Serena Williams’ agent, Jules Smoller, who holds significant influence within WME, played a pivotal role in bringing Meghan on board.
Despite what Royal Watchers may believe, Serena and Meghan are indeed close.
Serena apparently insisted that WME step in and assist Meghan, leaving the agency with little choice in the matter.
The insider’s friend revealed that there was only one instance when Meghan came to LA for a strategy meeting.
Furthermore, all agents received a memo encouraging them to establish partnerships, friendships, and alliances with their clients, including Meghan’s clients from various fields such as actors, sports figures, events, and brands.
However, the friend mentioned that no agents are eager to comply.
They described Meghan as “kryptonite,” stating that clients want nothing to do with her, and agents are not interested in promoting her to their clients.
According to the insider’s friend, if Meghan is seen at an event, such as a concert or a Costner event, it is because WME, its executives, clients, or subsidiary companies were already involved, and they insisted on including her as an add-on.
Organizers are allegedly forced to accommodate her presence, even if they do not want her there.
It seems that Meghan lacks her own standing and relies on others to include her.
She aspires to be a virtuous global ambassador but lacks the necessary credentials.
Similarly, she aims to be a power player in Hollywood, yet lacks a significant track record.
Furthermore, she desires a seat at the table in national politics but struggles to gain the support of Democratic power brokers.
Agents within WME reportedly view her as a joke and are frustrated that they have to pretend to make an effort to promote her.
It appears that WME may have been caught up in the Meghan Markle phenomenon.
According to a Hollywood reporter, Ari Emanuel, CEO of Endeavor (WME’s parent company), along with a few associates, has taken advantage of the situation to entice important CAA agents.
They argue that the grass could be greener at Endeavor.
However, it remains unclear how persuasive their argument is.
Notably, Endeavor’s stock has remained relatively stagnant, unlike their counterparts at CAA.
An insider from Endeavor mentioned that their employees have the ability to sell their shares as soon as they vest, as the company is publicly held.
