From Meghan Markle to RHOC: Ashley Hansen's Bold Career Pivot!

The Royal Treatment: Meghan Markle's Former Press Secretary Dives into Reality TV Drama with New Client

In a move that's left many tongues wagging, Ashley Hansen, the former global press secretary for Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, has traded in her royal duties for a new gig as publicist to Real Housewives of Orange County star Katie Ginella. The news comes on the heels of Ginella facing a very public PR crisis after being accused of lying, colluding with Bravo bloggers, and secretly recording a castmate.

Ginella's drama unfolded on the latest season of RHOC, where she found herself at odds with her entire cast after allegations surfaced that she had repeatedly lied about various incidents. In an attempt to clear her name, Ginella appeared on Watch What Happens Live, denying any wrongdoing. However, Bravo blogger Christina Huber later produced screenshots of their call log, seemingly debunking Ginella's claims.

But the drama didn't stop there. Ginella was also exposed for secretly recording co-star Shannon Beador at a photoshoot and then playing the recording for two other women on the show. In a bizarre twist, Ginella initially admitted to recording Beador but later walked back her statement, claiming she had only played the recording for her husband Matt.

As Ginella's castmates continued to call her out, she took to social media to defend herself, stating that her colleagues were "looking for anything to point out that I've done wrong" because she was so well-received by fans during her rookie season last year. However, her attempts at damage control only seemed to backfire.

But what's really got everyone talking is Ginella's latest accusation against two of her castmates, Jen Pedranti and Gretchen Rossi. According to Ginella, the duo shared a "racially insensitive" video online, featuring them pretending to fight while making Asian faces and sounds. The 41-year-old RHOC star accused her colleagues of being "inconsiderate" and claimed that the video was hurtful.

Rossi responded to Ginella's allegations by stating that the video was not intended to be hateful and was taken down once they were made aware of its potential impact. However, Ginella's defense has left many wondering whether she's simply trying to deflect attention from her own controversies.

Hansen's decision to leave Meghan and Prince Harry's side to represent Ginella has raised eyebrows among royal watchers. As the former head of communications for Archewell, Hansen was instrumental in shaping the couple's public image. Her departure last year sparked rumors that she would be launching her own PR firm.

And now, it seems that Hansen is making good on those rumors with her new gig as Ginella's publicist. But will her expertise be enough to salvage Ginella's reputation? Only time will tell.

In an interview with Us Weekly earlier this month, Ginella defended herself against allegations of dishonesty, stating: "I'm not a liar. I've been completely honest and transparent about everything." However, many have questioned the accuracy of Ginella's claims, particularly given her history of denying and then walking back statements when confronted with evidence.

The 41-year-old's drama has left fans of RHOC scratching their heads, wondering what other secrets might be lurking beneath the surface. And with Hansen now at the helm as Ginella's publicist, it's clear that this story is far from over.

A Royal Departure: Ashley Hansen Leaves Meghan and Prince Harry Behind

In a move that shocked many in the royal community, Ashley Hansen stepped down as the global press secretary for Meghan Markle and Prince Harry last year. At the time, many speculated that she would be launching her own PR firm.

And now, it seems those rumors were true. With her new gig as Ginella's publicist, Hansen is trading in her royal duties for a new role in the world of reality TV. But what does this mean for Meghan and Prince Harry? Will Hansen's departure from Archewell affect their public image?

According to sources close to the couple, Meghan and Prince Harry are "thrilled" with Hansen's decision to start her own firm. In a statement released at the time, Meghan praised Hansen as "an incredibly talented and dedicated professional." However, many have questioned whether Hansen's departure was more than just a coincidence.

In an interview with The Scholarly Note earlier this year, Hansen reflected on her working relationship with Meghan and Prince Harry, stating: "There's never a day where they're not in the news. With most celebrities, there's an ebb and flow—a movie comes out, there's press, then it dies down. But with Meghan, it's constant. Like, presidential-level constant."

Hansen also spoke about her role as head of communications for Archewell, stating: "We read everything. Twitter, Quora, Reddit—we'd monitor it all because you have to know what's out there." However, many have questioned whether Hansen's skills will be enough to salvage Ginella's reputation.

As for Maines, the new publicist for Meghan and Prince Harry, she seems more than capable of handling the couple's public image. With a background in PR that spans Google, Hulu, and American Idol, Maines is undoubtedly one of the most qualified individuals to take on the task of managing the Sussexes' reputation.

The Drama Continues: Ginella Faces Backlash from RHOC Castmates

As Ginella continues to face backlash from her RHOC castmates, many are wondering what's next for the 41-year-old reality star. Will Hansen be able to salvage her client's reputation, or will this drama continue to unfold?

Only time will tell, but one thing is certain: this story is far from over. With Hansen at the helm as Ginella's publicist, fans of RHOC can expect plenty more twists and turns in the coming weeks.

In a statement released earlier this month, Maines expressed her excitement about joining Meghan and Prince Harry's team, stating: "I'm honored to partner with Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, to highlight the amazing work they are doing through Archewell, their broader business portfolio, and nonprofit work."

But will Hansen's departure from Archewell have any lasting impact on Meghan and Prince Harry's public image? Only time will tell.

As for Ginella, it seems her drama is far from over. With Hansen now representing her, fans of RHOC can expect plenty more controversy in the coming weeks.
