Wow, Jessica Mulroney really is losing everything over her awful reaction to being asked to use her platform to speak out on Black Lives Matter.
In case you hadn’t heard, Jessica was called out by influencer Sasha Exeter, who said after being asked to make more of an effort, the Canadian fashionista responded with angry threats! And there were receipts!

Jessica issued an apology referencing her bestie, the one and only Meghan Markle, saying:
“I have lived a very public and personal experience with my closest friend where race was front and centre. It was deeply educational. I learned a lot from that. I promise to continue to learn and listen on how I can use my privilege to elevate and support black voices.”
However, after taking responsibility for her behavior publicly, in private she AGAIN threatened Exeter with a “liable suit.”
Not a good look at all. Certainly not one you’d think her famous friend would be happy about being connected to! According to DailyMail.com. a friend of the Duchess’ said:
“Meghan is absolutely mortified that she’s been dragged into this complete mess. She said Jessica is in no way a racist, but the way she handled the situation (with the fashion influencer) was tone-deaf and heartbreaking.”
Yeah, particularly tough if she’s your friend.
Meghan had no choice but to watch as her bestie was fired from Good Morning America and had her Canadian reality show canceled. The source explained:
“It’s not like Meghan can just call up ABC and defend Jessica. There was a reason Meghan waited to so long to make a statement. She wanted to get it right. She said she urged Jessica to do the same thing from the get-go.”
Why couldn’t Meghan defend her friend? Well for starters, it would make her look bad!

The insider claimed Her Formerly Royal Highness would rather shun her friend than risk the social suicide of being seen as supporting her:
“Meghan said friends reflect friends and because of what’s at stake she can no longer be associated with Jessica, at least not in public. She has to do what she has to do in order to preserve her dignity and her own reputation.”
Damn. Cold, but also… how would she be treated for defending this kind of behavior? She’s got so much good will right now…
But will she really let the friendship die to avoid the (really) bad press? And how will Jessica react to being left high and dry??
DM‘s source said they “wouldn’t be surprised” if this was the “beginning of the end of their friendship.” Neither would we if even some of this is true.
