As for the longer version, Mulroney broke it down definitively in her post, writing:

This summer, Mulroney was at the center of a "PR crisis" when Black influencer Sasha Exeter accused her of using "textbook white privilege" to attempt to discourage brands from working with her. Following the scandal, tabloids reports claimed that Meghan was "mortified" by the situation and distancing herself from Mulroney as a result. Clearly, none of those reports were true and this friendship is as strong as ever.
