Jessica Mulroney, the Canadian stylist who was once best friends with Meghan Markle, took to Instagram this week to reveal that she is “happy again” after becoming sober.
“I’ve spoken about mental illness for years as well as being a hard worker my whole life but never thought I’d have to go through intense treatment the way I did this year,” Mulroney began in her post, adding that “there is hope” at the end of the tunnel.
“I’ve found it through sobriety and therapy,” she said. “My life is happy again. I wish this for you all.”
However, Mulroney also made a point of calling out those who have left her behind in what many are interpreting as a jab at Meghan.
“It can be lonely having the world, friends distance from you and not even ask how you are,” Mulroney wrote. “But, thankfully, you find the things that truly matter….”

Mulroney and Meghan had been best friends for years before the Canadian stylist found herself embroiled in a racially charged feud with the black blogger Sasha Exeter, who accused her of exhibiting “textbook white privilege.”
Mulroney later backed down and apologized, saying that she’d watched her “closest friend” Meghan experience racism “front and center” since she joined the British royal family in May of 2018. A source said at the time that Mulroney dragging their friendship into her scandal was “hugely offensive to Meghan.”
“Of course Meghan is supportive of Jessica, as she is with all of her friends,” added a second source at the time. “But it’s a bit off-putting when Jessica seemingly uses their friendship for headlines. Meghan is very aware when people in her life do this.”
Mulroney suffered some serious consequences in the wake of this scandal, as she lost her partnership with the Canadian department store Hudson’s and was fired from CTV’s “I Do, Redo.” She also stepped away from her gig hosting a recurring fashion segment on “Good Morning America.”
A source said last September that Meghan “didn’t want to cut Jessica out of her life completely,” and that they were “still friendly but not as close as before.”
