Oh my, what a delicious serving of out-of-touch commentary from Megyn Kelly and Tim Dillon! Their segment on Meghan Markle’s As Ever brand was quite the spectacle of two people desperately trying to stay relevant by mocking someone who actually is.

The Pot Calling the Kettle Overpriced

Let’s start with their obsession over pricing. Yes, $14 for artisanal jam is premium-priced – that’s literally the point of luxury goods. Yet Megyn and Tim act like they’ve discovered some shocking scandal. Megyn dramatically noted the $14 “Raspberry Spread” could be compared to grocery store brands under $5, as if discovering price markup in luxury goods for the first time.

Would they be equally stunned to learn that designer handbags cost more than ones from Target? That five-star hotels charge more than Motel 6? Their mock outrage suggests they’ve never set foot in Whole Foods, Williams-Sonoma, or any artisanal market where premium pricing is standard practice.

The “Con Artist” Calling

Tim Dillon calling Meghan a “huckster” and “con artist” for selling jam is particularly rich. Isn’t this the same Tim Dillon who charges people to hear him rant about topics he barely researches? At least Meghan’s jam is an actual product that sold out in “less than one hour” as she shared on Instagram, noting “Our shelves may be empty, but my heart is full!”

The irony of two media personalities who make their living stirring up manufactured outrage criticizing someone else’s business model shouldn’t be lost on anyone. Meghan is sold out.

Who is Tim Dillion: Ya. I I didn’t know either!
I’ll search for information about Tim Dillon and his net worth. Tim Dillon is an American stand-up comedian, podcaster, and actor with an estimated net worth of $12 million according to Celebrity Net Worth. Born January 22, 1985, in Island Park, New York, Dillon’s career began inauspiciously as a child actor with brief appearances on Sesame Street before finding his way to comedy around 2010.

After struggling with substance abuse starting at age 13, Dillon has been sober for over 15 years. His podcast “The Tim Dillon Show” (formerly “Tim Dillon Is Going to Hell”) has become his primary income source, earning him between $200,000-$250,000 monthly from Patreon alone as reported in 2024.

Known for his provocative style and political commentary, Dillon gained wider recognition when Rolling Stone named him one of “10 Comedians You Need to Know” in 2017 following his appearance at the Just for Laughs comedy festival. He’s appeared on Netflix’s “The Comedy Lineup” and various TV shows while building a significant real estate portfolio, including properties in Austin, Texas and the Hamptons.

Dillon’s comedy often centers on cultural criticism and political issues, with his brash, unapologetic approach earning him a devoted following despite — or perhaps because of — his willingness to court controversy.

Packaging Priorities

Their mockery of Meghan being “kept up at night” by packaging decisions reveals their complete ignorance of product development. Any entrepreneur or designer knows that packaging is crucial to product success and brand identity. As Meghan explained to her followers, her jam comes in “keepsake packaging” that can be repurposed “to tuck away love notes or special treasures.” This thoughtful approach to sustainable design apparently went right over their heads.

The Royal Aesthetics “Gotcha”

Their “hypocrisy” claim about Meghan using royal aesthetics is particularly weak. As Meghan explained when changing her brand name from American Riviera Orchard to As Ever, the phrase means “as it’s always been” or “in the same way as always” – it’s a signature she’s used since her lifestyle blog The Tig, long before meeting Prince Harry.

Megyn and Tim’s segment tells us more about their desperate need to tear down successful women than it does about Meghan’s business. Perhaps instead of criticizing someone for building something, they could try creating something positive themselves?

But then again, outrage-peddling and mockery are so much easier than actual creativity or entrepreneurship. Maybe they should stick to what they know – serving up stale takes with a side of bitterness.

If I were Meghan, I’d pull a I don’t know her.
