Meghan Markle was ‘demon’ as boss who had ‘psychopathic moments,’ ex-employees say
BlogosphereMeghan Markle was a “demon” as a boss who had “psychopathic moments,” former employees say, reports The Daily Beast.
They spoke out after a hand-picked group of current and former staffers claimed Meghan was the best boss ever, who gave her employees armfuls of fresh-cut flowers and free-range eggs.
A positive portrait of Meghan’s management style was painted in Us Weekly, when her team launched a fight against a report in The Hollywood Reporter that claimed Meghan was a “high-heeled dictator” who reduced “grown men to tears.” But sources close to the couple have dismissed the story, calling it “a fabrication.”
However, a person who worked with Meghan and husband Prince Harry at the royal court told The Daily Beast that there were definitely “bad, very bad, even psychopathic moments. I’ve seen people chewed out in person and over the phone and made to feel like shit.”
But he noted that after Harry and Meghan left the royal family, some stories were “twisted and blown out of proportion.”
“But it was an incredibly difficult time, and I have to give her credit for that. She has said that she was suicidal at times.”
The source said that Jason Knauf, who served as Meghan’s press secretary when she was a royal, had complained about her “unacceptable treatment” of staff.
Another person who worked with Meghan in the lead-up to her wedding told The Daily Beast: “I always thought she was a classic narcissist, and having her staff tell the magazine how amazing she is only confirms that in my mind. She’s sweet when things are going her way, but a demon when things aren’t going her way.”
