Jessica Mulroney took to social media in a since-deleted post to call Meghan Markle her “kindest friend.” This came after rumors swirled that Markle had cut off Mulroney after the royal became embroiled in a nasty white privilege scandal over the summer.
“I’m going to tell this once and for all. Meghan and I are family. She is the kindest friend and has checked up on me everyday,” Mulroney wrote on her Instagram story, according Page Six.
“Tabloid culture is atrocious. It creates lies and hurtful storyline. Stop feeding into it,” Mulroney added. “Done.”

Mulroney, who is a stylist from Canada, had been Meghan’s best friend for years before she was accused by social media influencer Sasha Exeter of trying to use her “white privilege” to threaten her back in June. Exeter said she had taken to Instagram that month to share a “generic call to action” on her story urging her followers to speak up in the wake of the Black Lives Matter movement. Though she did not single anyone out specifically with the message, Exeter said that Mulroney “took offense,” believing the message was aimed at her.
“Listen, I am by no means calling Jess a racist but what I will say is this: She is very well aware of her wealth, her perceived power and privilege because of the color of her skin,” Exeter said, going on to accuse Mulroney of “textbook white privilege.”
In the wake of this scandal, various sources said that Meghan felt like she had no choice but to cut Mulroney out of her life forever.
“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,” one source said. “She has to do what she has to do in order to preserve her dignity and her own reputation.”
Another insider said that Mulroney was so desperate that she was “calling Meghan non-stop” trying to work things out.
“Jessica has been calling Meghan non-stop and also calling up mutual friends to try and patch up their friendship,” a source said. “She’s devastated Meghan has turned her back on her at a time when she needs her most. But their friends have told her not to expect to hear back from Meghan because when she cuts someone off, she’s done for good – just like with her family.”
