Jessica Mulroney
Jessica Mulroney was born on March 14, 1980, and from Canada. She is a fashion stylist, member of one of Canada’s biggest political families, and one of Meghan Markle’s closest friends has been dropped by Canadian broadcaster CTV after being accused of “white privilege” by blogger Sasha Exeter.
On Thursday, she landed in the controversy when social media influencer Sasha Exeter called her out and slammed the celebrity fashion stylist for her ‘white privilege’. According to the report, Sasha claimed to have received threats from Jessica after the influencer urged her Instagram followers with large followings to “use their voice for good and help combat the race war and what’s happening to the Black community.”
Sasha Exeter, a former athlete, and blogger on website SoSasha posted a 12-minute long video on Instagram on June 10. Furthermore, in the video, she said that in the span of the last week, Mulroney “basically ticked every single box of what a white woman should absolutely not do during the biggest racial uproar in history.”
Sasha compared Jessica’s message to Amy Cooper, the woman who called the cops on a black man who was bird watching in New York City’s Central Park. In the caption of the video, she wrote in part: “I have felt like a complete fraud-fighting for racial equality and using my voice openly here while letting a white woman silence mine behind closed doors.”

Sasha added, Jessica “is very well aware of her wealth, her perceived power and privilege because of the color of her skin… And that my friends gave her the momentary confidence to come for my livelihood in writing,” calling it the “textbook” example of white privilege.
However, Jessica Mulroney posted the apology publicly, Exeter later shared a screenshot to her Instagram Story showing what she said was a private message just sent to her by Mulroney indicating her intent to sue for libel. It read, “She rightfully called me out for not doing enough when it came to engaging in the important and difficult conversation about race and injustice in our society. I took it personally and that was wrong. I know I need to do better. Those of us with a platform must use it to speak out.”
