Alleged condition on Sarandos' calls with Meghan Markle draws denials

A Variety story cited three sources claiming Netflix Co-CEO Ted Sarandos will not speak to Meghan Markle on the phone without a lawyer present. Two insiders said Sarandos recently said he wouldn’t sit in for a call with Markle, 44, unless a lawyer was on the line, and that he is “fed up” with Markle and Prince Harry.

A Netflix spokesperson told Variety the claims are “absolutely inaccurate.” Markle’s attorney, Michael J. Kump, echoed that view in a letter, calling the report “blatantly false” and adding, “In fact, Meghan texts and speaks with Mr. Sarandos regularly, and has been to his home, sans lawyers.”
