Chef's Honest Opinion Sparks Online Fury
UKWed Mar 12 2025
A well-known chef, Jameson Stocks, recently found himself in the middle of a storm. He openly shared his thoughts about Meghan Markle's Netflix show, "With Love, Meghan. " He didn't hold back, describing the show as "terrible" and suggesting Markle should stick to acting. Stocks, who is a single dad, was shocked by the backlash. He received hundreds of hateful messages, including death threats. He insists his comments were not personal attacks. He simply didn't enjoy the show. He even mentioned that his criticism would have been the same if the show was made by anyone else, even famous chefs like Gordon Ramsay.
Stocks had a brief encounter with Netflix executives last year. They casually discussed a lifestyle program, but no details were shared. Stocks was told the show would be controversial. He declined the offer, not wanting to be away from his kids for too long. However, a production source claims Stocks was never approached about "With Love, Meghan. " They also deny that the show was in development at the time of Stocks' meeting.
Stocks' criticism sparked a lot of debate. Some people agreed with his views, while others were outraged. The show's renewal for a second season shows that the public's interest in Markle's lifestyle series remains strong. Markle and Prince Harry's deal with Netflix is worth $100 million. They have released several projects on the platform, including documentaries about their lives and Harry's love for polo.
The chef's experience highlights the intense reactions that can come from expressing opinions about public figures. It also raises questions about the impact of social media on public discourse. The debate around "With Love, Meghan" continues, with fans and critics alike sharing their thoughts. The show's popularity suggests that Meghan Markle's journey will continue to captivate audiences.
