(NewsNation) — Meghan Markle invited country singer Dolly Parton to appear on her Netflix show "With Love, Meghan" but was reportedly turned down.

According to celebrity commentator Kinsey Schofield, Parton's team was "livid" at the request.

"They don't want to risk Dolly's reputation Q score and her popularity by associating with Meghan Markle," Schofield alleged during a podcast appearance. "They knew that this ask was just to give Meghan Markle credibility in this lifestyle space, a space that Dolly does have a lot of credibility in."

Schofield went on to say that her team felt as if Markle was trying to take advantage of her popularity.

Markle's lifestyle series was released on Netflix in March and was immediately renewed for a second season despite being slammed by critics.
