Meryl Streep rejected "The Devil Wears Prada" initially because she was “ready to retire.” “I knew it was going to be a hit. They made an offer. I said ‘No. I’m not going to do it.' I wanted to see if I doubled my ask, if they didn’t want, I was ready to retire.”

On the first day of filming The Devil Wears Prada (2006), Meryl Streep told Anne Hathaway, “I think you’re perfect for the role. I’m so happy we’re working together.” Then she paused and added, “That’s the last nice thing I’ll say to you.” And it was.

Meryl Streep explains why she rejected the initial offer for 'Devil Wears Prada 2' and doubled her salary ask at 56 years old "I knew it was going to be a hit. It's the first time in my entire life... I read the script and thought, 'Hmm, it's a great script.'" "They called me up and made an offer, and I said no. I'm not going to do it." "Because I wanted to see if I doubled my ask..." "...and they went right away and said, 'Sure.'" "And I thought, 'I'm 56 years old... took me this long to understand that I could do that.'"

At 56, Meryl Streep made a sharp realization: knowing your worth isn’t enough, you have to ask for it. When approached for The Devil Wears Prada sequel, she initially declined, then negotiated for double her previous pay before agreeing. The lesson is simple: opportunity isn’t the reward, fair value is. Too often, women are conditioned to accept less. But when you confidently ask for what you deserve, you reset the standard.

Anne Hathaway says Meryl Streep set the tone on Day 1 of The Devil Wears Prada (2006): “I think you’re perfect for the role… That’s the last nice thing I’ll say to you.” Streep stayed distant off-camera to maintain Miranda Priestly’s icy presence — a method she later admitted was tough. Hathaway said that pressure made her performance stronger.

Meryl Streep’s longevity astonishes me. I just can’t believe how sharp & how decisive she still is at 76 years old. I absolutely think she has another Oscar win- not just a nomination- left in her career. She was outstanding in The Devil Wears Prada 2. She crushed it.

Rosie O'Donnell says she snuck back into the U.S. recently just to see what would happen. Did she think she was going to be detained? We don’t care! Her self-absorption is on another level. 🤣

“King Mitchy has been faking her giveaways for a long time. I worked as her cameraman until she fired me because I questioned her actions. On camera, she would do giveaways of ₦300,000, ₦500,000, and even ₦1,000,000. However, once the camera was turned off, she would collect the money back and give the recipients only ₦20,000 instead. When I confronted her about this, she responded by asking why she would give away all that money. She said if she did, how would she be able to pay me, and what money would she use to feed her cameraman?” — King Mitchy’s Ex Cameraman says.

This woman felt like she was missing out on her childhood, she decided that she would open a lemonade stand like what the kids did. She would make it fresh and from scratch, so she went to the store and bought it, she setup a table and served her lemonade, and didn’t even charge money for it. Most kids who do it made it themselves and sold it for money, she seemed to be missing allot in her business model, what do you think she did wrong?

This woman was clearly obstructing ICE agents from doing their jobs. Then she ignored commands to get out of her vehicle. Then she hit an agent with her vehicle. If she would have been at home minding her own business and not obstructing law enforcement, she would still be alive today. And the democrats still won't come out and aggressively condemn what she was doing even though she was CLEARLY in the wrong..

Just months ago, Epstein survivors believed they would finally get a meeting with Pam Bondi. She turned them down then — and again on Wednesday, when she literally turned her back on them, saying she didn’t want to “get in the gutter.”
