The Shoebox Project announced her departure from their organization, a week after Mulroney’s hurtful comments towards Exeter came to light. Founded in 2011 by Mulroney and sisters-in-law Katy, Vanessa, and Caroline, The Shoebox Project gives shoeboxes filled with essentials and gifts to vulnerable women. Exeter laid out the disturbing messages Mulroney sent to her on her social media, including a threat to file a libel lawsuit. “Imagine telling a Black woman that her voice doesn’t matter while people are literally chanting the opposite in the streets at anti-Black racism protests around the world,” Newman-Bremang wrote. It’s a connection that has led to international coverage of Exeter’s plight, but the former senior royal hasn’t publicly sided with her friend.
