In a stunning clash that has rocked both Hollywood and the sports world, Meghan Markle found herself at the center of explosive controversy after David Beckham allegedly exposed her $20 million As Ever wellness brand as nothing more than a “lavish scam.”
The incident unfolded during a high-profile televised charity event in Los Angeles, where Beckham was invited as a guest to discuss his philanthropic projects. To everyone’s surprise, Meghan — who was also on the panel — began promoting her recently launched lifestyle venture, As Ever, a brand she claimed would “redefine wellness and elegance for the modern woman.”

“Wellness isn’t about overpriced creams and false promises. People deserve honesty — not another $20 million scam dressed up as glamour.”
The crowd gasped. Cameras zoomed in on Meghan, whose expression went from composed to visibly shaken. She reportedly snapped back, her voice rising as she shouted:
“Quit scamming people? How dare you! This is my life’s work. You think I don’t care about women’s wellness?”
The exchange left the audience in stunned silence, with whispers spreading rapidly across the auditorium. Social media erupted within minutes. Clips of Meghan’s furious outburst and Beckham’s pointed remarks went viral, with hashtags like #AsEverScam, #BeckhamVsMeghan, and #QuitScammingPeople trending worldwide.
Industry insiders have long raised eyebrows about As Ever. Market analysts suggest that despite the glossy branding and heavy celebrity endorsements, the products — from $500 moisturizers to $1,200 “mindful energy crystals” — have been widely criticized as overpriced and unproven. One former employee described the company as “a money pit designed to exploit Meghan’s celebrity rather than provide genuine wellness.”
Beckham’s intervention seemed to echo these sentiments. Known for his meticulous charity work and credibility in the public eye, his words carried extra weight. Fans applauded him for speaking what many had allegedly thought but never dared to say in front of Meghan.
The fallout was immediate. By the next morning, several retailers announced they were “reviewing partnerships” with As Ever, and consumer watchdog groups revealed they were investigating multiple complaints about misleading marketing practices.
Meanwhile, Meghan’s team scrambled to perform damage control. A spokesperson dismissed Beckham’s remarks as “baseless” and “a cheap attempt at grabbing headlines.” Yet the damage had already been done. Online forums overflowed with users sharing stories of disappointing purchases, while skeptics called for a full audit of the company’s finances.
As for Beckham, he has yet to issue an official statement beyond the explosive televised moment. Close friends told reporters he was simply “tired of watching people be misled under the banner of wellness.”
The clash between Meghan Markle and David Beckham is more than just another celebrity feud. It has ignited a larger conversation about the rise of luxury lifestyle brands, their astronomical price tags, and the blurred line between empowerment and exploitation.
For Meghan, the incident marks yet another storm in her turbulent post-royal life. For Beckham, it’s a moment that has elevated him from sporting legend to outspoken watchdog for fairness.
And for the millions who watched the drama unfold live, one question lingers: was Beckham brutally honest — or brutally out of line?
