A top Hollywood talent agency has denied that it dropped Meghan Markle after months of speculation.
The Duchess of Sussex, 43, signed in 2023 with the William Morris Endeavor (WME) – a power agency that also has customers, including Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson and her friend Serena Williams.
But in recent months rumors have been spread that the relationship has been soured, in which Insiders Pagesix told that Meghan was even 'let' go 'because she was' too demanding' and 'difficult to work with'.
The newspaper reported that since January last year Meghan has not held meetings with the biggest boss of the agency, Ari Emanuel, although she has met her daily agents.
That month Meghan would have had an 'eruption', so Ari '' is ready with her ', according to insiders on the newspaper.
Since then, however, the agency has established that the Meghan and Archewell will continue to represent.
Femail has contacted WME for further comments.
In September, suspicions arose after WME threw a flashy party on the roof of the Waldorf Astoria after the Emmy Awards, including A-Listers such as Kevin Costner, Brie Larson and Javier Bardem.

The party, which came only three days after the Hollywood reporter had difficulty labeled her 'Duchess', was not attended by Meghan, nor her husband Prince Harry.
The article in The Hollywood Reporter was published on 12 September and was entitled why Hollywood continues to stop Harry and Meghan.
It described how their staff chef Josh Kettler had left his role after just three months – as first revealed by Richard Eden from the Daily Mail.
A source claimed to the Hollywood Reporter: 'Everyone is terrified of Meghan. She belittles people, she does not take advice.
'They are both bad decision makers, they often change thoughts. Harry is a very, very charming person – not broadcast at all – but he is very much enabler. And she's just terrible. '
Another source said: 'She is absolutely ruthless. She marches like a dictator in high heels, rumbling and barking orders. I have seen her cultivated men reduce to tears. '
Meghan strongly denied the allegations and denounced them as part of a 'calculated lubrication campaign'.
A senior Hollywood publicist at the time told Alison Boshoff of De Post: 'First of all, everyone industry, everyone reads the Hollywood Reporter. It is really striking that WME did not stop this running. '

She added: 'WME would normally – you think – would have been threatening and had denied access to other stars. Is this done here?
“The only thing that the Sussexes could collect was” at the moment no comment “from a spokesperson.”
In 2023 it was announced that Meghan would work with Endeavor CEO Ari Emanuel, agent Brad Slater and agent Jill Smoller.
WME represents the Archewell, Markle and Prince Harry label and works with the Duchess on film and television production, brand partnerships and overall business structure.
It comes after the Royal Assistant in the center of accusations of bullying against Meghan, his silence finally broke.
Jason Knauf, who previously worked for William and Kate between 2015 and 2021 and previously Prince Harry and the press secretary of Meghan Markle, appeared in a new documentary for 60 minutes of Australia, where there is a will on the weekend.
In 2018 he had sent an internal e -mail to eliminate concern about Meghan's alleged treatment of staff in the royal family, who was later leaked to the media.

Speaking about the controversy in public for the first time, Jason said that he would 'not change anything' and 'no regret'.
When asked if it was difficult to put him in the spotlight after the e -Maillek and the allegations, he said: 'I find it difficult, but it is probably pretty good.
'You know someone who helped other people by how to deal with the public eye. You probably sometimes had to take your own medicine.
'You can't choose to take the fun things in every job, and that also applies to the prince and princess. So I would not change anything '.
Prior to their disagreement, Jason said that he had 'great times' with the Sussexes, and said that their Windsor Wedding 2018 was a 'magical experience'.
Elsewhere, Jason opened his time to work for Harry and Meghan and said he wishes them 'the absolute best'.
He said, “We had many great times, working on their wedding was a great magical experience and I definitely wish them the very best with their dear family.”

Meghan meanwhile said they were a “calculated smear campaign based on misleading and harmful wrong information.”
The Royal Assistant became a special adviser to William and Kate and then Chief Executive of the Royal Foundation, the charity arm of their official operations.
During his time that worked for the couple, Mr. Knauf helped start the high -profile Earthshot Environmental Awards of William and to undertake the heads of the couple together initiative for mental health care, and 36 foreign trips with them.
He left the foundation in 2021 to move abroad.

'Receiving this recognition means more to me than I can say. I am incredibly grateful. '
The Book Courtiers: The Hidden Power Behind The Crown by Valentine Low has explored the e -mails further.
One extract told how Palace Press Chief Jason Knauf wrote an e -mail in 2018 to Prince William's private secretary Simon Case about 'very serious problems' with Meghan's behavior.
It said: “I am very concerned that the Duchess could only bully two out of the household in the past year … The Duchess seems to have the intention of always having someone in her sights.”
