Meghan Markle's Former Talent Agent, Ari Emanuel, Reveals He No Longer Works For Her
It looks like the team working behind the Duchess of Sussex has changed drastically once again.
Ari Emanuel is one of Hollywood's most prominent talent agents and executives. He is the executive chairman of WME Group and has represented some of the biggest names in entertainment throughout his career. He also co-founded Endeavor, the entertainment and sports company that grew into a major Hollywood powerhouse.
Beyond his work representing major stars, Emanuel has built a reputation as a highly influential figure in the entertainment industry and is currently promoting his new memoir, Roll the Calls. He recently sat down for an interview with The Sunday Times, where he revealed he is no longer working with Meghan Markle after they signed together through WME in 2023.
Ari Emanuel Makes Rare Comment About Parting Ways With Meghan
In his new interview with The Sunday Times, Emanuel was asked about the As Ever founder's career and where he believes it is headed following their professional split.
Rather than offering an assessment of her future in Hollywood, the longtime entertainment executive gave a notably blunt response, making it clear that he is no longer involved in those decisions.
"Here's the great thing: I don't have to think about that anymore," he said.
His comment comes after reports that the agent stepped away from the Duchess' account, along with fellow WME agent Brad Slater, only months after she signed with the agency in 2023. While Ari is no longer personally working with Meghan, WME has confirmed that the agency continues to represent the Duchess as well as her and Prince Harry's production company, Archewell. Additionally, their split doesn't come long after the couple's 11th publicist in 5 years quit, as the internet suspected they create a "toxic" work environment.
Given her and her husband's recent return to the UK and reports that she's making a return to acting, the recent announcement of her agent's departure and cold outlook towards the situation suggest there's something that's gone awry behind the scenes.
