From the article...
One of those employees, personal assistant Melissa Toubati, left Kensington Palace in October 2018 after reportedly being “driven to tears,” according to British tabloid reports at the time. An aide anonymously defended the abrupt departure, quickly giving a glowing account of her tenure to the Daily Mail. However, it later emerged in court documents during Meghan’s privacy case against The Mail on Sunday that Toubati had, in fact, been dismissed from her role by the couple due to misconduct (the details of which are known to this author but cannot be repeated for legal reasons). In the Sussex biography, Finding Freedom, sources revealed that it was Knauf’s longtime friendship with Toubati that had led the Sussexes to believe that certain staff, including their own press secretary, were “more interested in protecting one of their own than [Meghan].”
Did I miss it being made public that it was Melissa Toubati dismissed for misconduct? I’m sure I read she worked for Robbie and Madonna who are probably pretty demanding (I do at least hope Robbie is nice with it though!). There was also a nanny fired in the middle of the night wasn’t there?
As for that final sentence (in bold), you’ve got to ask yourself why would this even be a source of conflict if nothing was going on? For what reason would any of the aides have for wanting to ‘smear’ her if she was a genuinely kind and compassionate person? We are talking about people where this is their job/career, they have so much to lose and for what, because they are supposedly just a bunch of racists? I don’t know how people can keep defending her.
I love how Omid has to get in that he knows the reasons why Toubati was dismissed, but can’t say. head.
