In case you somehow forgot, Mulroney found herself at the center of a major controversy (opens in new tab) earlier this year when Black influencer Sasha Exeter (opens in new tab) accused Mulroney of leveraging her white privilege in an attempt to get brands to stop working with her. In the wake of the scandal, Mulroney was fired from her hosting gig on the wedding-themed reality show I Do Redo and rumors swirled (opens in new tab) that it had caused a rift (opens in new tab) between her and longtime friend Meghan Markle (opens in new tab).
For the record, Meghan is not included in the list of "a**holes" who turned out to be fake friends. Mulroney denied rumors (opens in new tab) of a rift in her friendship with Meghan in an Instagram Story post in September.
"I'm going to tell this once and for all. Meghan and I are family," she wrote. "She is the kindest friend and has checked up on me everyday. Tabloid culture is atrocious. It creates lies and hurtful storylines. Stop feeding into it. Done."
