Meghan Markle defended by 'Confessions of a Female Founder' YouTuber whose name she was accused of stealing

foxnews.com:

Meghan Markle is facing a lot of criticism. Her lifestyle series "With Love, Meghan" was widely panned and both that show and her upcoming podcast "Confessions of a Female Founder" have faced accusations of stealing names and ideas.

After Markle announced the podcast – her second after her Spotify podcast "Archetypes" was canceled after one season – on her Instagram this week, people were quick to pile on, noting its name is very similar to several others that are lesser known. "Maybe you would like to know, Meghan Markle has ripped off another woman’s podcast called ‘confessions of a CEO,'" one user wrote on X. "A simple Google search would help Meghan." Another user found a second woman posting videos on YouTube under the exact name, "Confessions of a Female Founder." "Stealing ideas again," the user wrote on X.

However, "Confessions of a Female Founder" YouTuber Kady Méite is defending the duchess. "I completely understand why people are drawing connections, and I truly appreciate the support and understand their intention," Méite told Yahoo Lifestyle on Thursday, "but I also understand coincidences as well.

It is highly unlikely Meghan even came across my channel, but I am flattered by the thought." She went further to say: "What does concern me is how quickly this is turning into another reason to drag a woman down.That’s not something I want to contribute to.
