Meghan Sussex has once again found herself at the center of controversy, this time over the title of her upcoming podcast, Confessions of a Female Founder, set to launch in partnership with Lemonada Media. Before the podcast has even aired, critics accused Meghan of stealing the name from entrepreneur and YouTuber Kady Méite, whose channel features a video with the same title. However, Méite has publicly refuted these claims, making it clear that she does not believe Meghan copied her.

Despite Méite’s own statements dismissing the accusations, critics continue to push the false narrative, using it as yet another opportunity to attack Meghan. The controversy reveals a larger pattern of manufactured outrage, where Meghan’s every business move is scrutinized and framed in the most negative light possible. From her lifestyle brand As Ever to her decision to sell jam, critics have consistently accused her of copying others—claims that do not hold up under factual analysis. The latest accusations surrounding Confessions of a Female Founder fit into this well-worn pattern of discrediting Meghan at every opportunity, regardless of the truth.

The False Outrage Over Meghan’s Podcast Title

When Meghan announced Confessions of a Female Founder, social media erupted with accusations that she had plagiarized the name from Kady Méite’s YouTube content. However, a closer look at the situation dismantles this claim. Méite’s YouTube video does bear the same title, but her channel itself is simply named after her. Furthermore, her content is not a well-known brand, nor is it trademarked.

Importantly, Méite herself has made it clear that she does not believe Meghan copied her. Speaking to Yahoo Lifestyle, she explained that while she understood why people made the connection, she highly doubted that Meghan had ever come across her video. Rather than fueling the controversy, Méite dismissed it outright, adding that the backlash seemed like just another excuse to drag a woman down.

Her words should have ended the debate. But instead, Meghan’s critics continued to insist that she had stolen the name, ignoring Méite’s own statements. The persistence of this false narrative shows that critics are not genuinely concerned with originality. Instead, they are searching for new ways to undermine Meghan and her work, no matter how flimsy the allegations.

A Repeated Pattern of Attacks on Meghan’s Business Ventures

This is not the first time Meghan has faced accusations of copying other brands. When she announced As Ever, her new lifestyle brand, critics immediately claimed she had stolen the name from a New York-based clothing company. The claim was misleading for several reasons: Meghan had applied for the trademark back in 2022, and As Ever is a commonly used phrase with multiple trademark registrations across different industries. The New York company, notably, had never trademarked its name. Yet, these facts did not stop the narrative from spreading across social media and being amplified by certain media outlets, fueling another round of attacks.

Similarly, when Meghan announced her venture into selling jam, critics baselessly accused her of copying King Charles, who also sells a range of preserves. This claim ignored the fact that countless brands sell jam and that Meghan’s initiative was hardly unique in the marketplace. The outrage was never truly about originality—it was about controlling the narrative around Meghan and using it to attack her at every turn.

The uproar over Confessions of a Female Founder is just another instance in a long line of attempts to discredit Meghan’s work. The critics pushing these claims are not interested in facts or fairness; they are simply searching for a new angle to continue their campaign against her.

Kady Méite’s Response and the Backlash She Faced

Kady Méite’s response to the controversy provides insight into how quickly the media and social media users try to pit women against each other. Instead of allowing herself to be used as a tool in an anti-Meghan narrative, Méite firmly shut down the false claims. She emphasized that she had no issue with Meghan using the podcast title and that people were using the situation as an excuse to attack another woman.

However, her refusal to play into the narrative did not sit well with Meghan’s detractors. After publicly defending Meghan, Méite found herself facing an onslaught of backlash. Some critics accused her of being “paid off” for her statements, while others pushed her to sue Meghan, ignoring the fact that she had explicitly dismissed the claims.

The attacks quickly turned from criticism into outright harassment. Some users targeted Méite with racist and Islamophobic remarks, mocking her hijab and making assumptions about her identity and beliefs. In one particularly disturbing comment, a critic suggested that Méite only defended Meghan because she was a “minority woman” and was likely “very woke.” Another person implied that because Méite wears a hijab, her perspective was inherently biased.

This reaction illustrates a disturbing trend: when public figures refuse to join in the anti-Meghan rhetoric, they themselves become targets. Meghan’s critics have a clear strategy—if they cannot use someone as a pawn to attack her, they will discredit and harass them instead. The backlash against Méite underscores that this was never about protecting creators or ensuring fairness. It was always about fueling outrage and sustaining negative narratives about Meghan at all costs.

Meghan’s Resilience in the Face of Unrelenting Scrutiny

Despite the manufactured controversies and relentless scrutiny, Meghan continues to move forward with her work. Her upcoming podcast, the renewal of With Love, Meghan, and her philanthropic efforts all demonstrate that she remains committed to building something meaningful, regardless of the noise around her.

The real issue was never whether Meghan copied someone. The real issue has always been control. Meghan’s critics want to dictate how she moves, what she builds, and how she is perceived. They will continue to manufacture controversies and push misleading narratives, but Meghan’s continued success is proof that their attempts to derail her will not work.

As this latest controversy shows, Meghan’s detractors will twist any story to suit their agenda, even if it means ignoring clear facts and throwing other women under the bus in the process. But as long as Meghan continues to forge her own path, their efforts will remain fruitless. The louder the attacks grow, the clearer it becomes that Meghan remains unshaken, unstoppable, and entirely in control of her own narrative.
