The Sussex world has been rocked once again, this time by a shocking revelation from none other than Tyler Perry—long considered one of Harry and Meghan’s closest allies. In a jaw-dropping turn of events, Perry has allegedly exposed a staggering $16 million debt tied to Meghan’s much-hyped lifestyle venture, As Ever.
According to reports, Perry—who famously housed the couple during their escape from royal life—was drawn into heated conversations after learning the true financial state of the project. Once billed as Meghan’s comeback brand, As Ever was meant to redefine wellness, luxury, and modern living. But behind the glossy marketing, Perry claims the figures don’t add up.
“Tyler feels betrayed,” one insider whispered. “He’s always stood by Meghan, but once he saw the numbers, he knew he couldn’t stay silent. The debt is massive, and the public hasn’t been told the full story.”
The alleged revelation has left Meghan enraged. Sources close to the Duchess say she is “fuming” at Perry for daring to spill what she considers private business matters. “This is her passion project,” a friend explained. “She wanted As Ever to be her empire, her independence. Having Tyler expose financial troubles is humiliating.”
Royal commentators have seized on the story, noting that Meghan’s reputation as a savvy businesswoman could now be at stake. “If this $16 million debt is real, it undermines everything she’s tried to present,” one analyst remarked. “People will start to see her not as a visionary but as reckless.”
Social media has been quick to divide. Supporters of Meghan insist that all new businesses face setbacks and debts in their early years. “It’s an investment, not a failure,” one fan argued. Yet critics gleefully labeled the revelation “proof” that Meghan’s ambitions are crumbling, with one tweet reading: “First Hollywood, now this. Meghan’s brand is drowning.”
Tyler Perry himself has not issued a formal public statement beyond the alleged leak, but his silence only fuels speculation. Is he distancing himself from the Sussexes? Has a friendship once celebrated as unbreakable now shattered under financial strain?
