Kevin Costner Takes Drastic Step Against Meghan Markle in Montecito Social Scene
Meghan Markle is facing backlash for her transition from political aspirations to the act of gifting jars of jam to acquaintances.
The Duchess recently introduced her new lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, by sending 50 influencers a jar of strawberry jam as a teaser for upcoming products.
Notable recipients included Meghan's former Suits co-star Abigail Spencer, designer Tracer Robbins, and socialite Kris Jenner.
However, a couple of the recipients faced issues when the labels fell off their jars, preventing them from sharing on social media.
Speculations by former BBC Royal Correspondent Michael Cole suggest that Meghan could potentially price these jars at an impressive £200 each, indicating a lucrative return on investment.
Despite this, the idea of a single jar of jam fetching such a high price has been met with skepticism.
Reports reveal that one recipient returned the gift as they were uncomfortable with the expectation to post about it without prior consent.
Their attempts to return the jar went unanswered, leading them to send it back to the agent's office where it sat unattended for several days.
Rumors circulate that singer Adele and actor Kevin Costner were among those who declined the gift, although the authenticity of these claims remains unverified.
Notably, prominent figures like Oprah Winfrey, Gayle King, Alan and Portia, Tyler Perry, Daniel Martin, and Portia have not acknowledged receiving the jam.
Kevin Costner, in particular, has distanced himself from Meghan and Harry following an incident where the couple overshadowed his charity event.
Recent reports suggest that Kevin Costner has taken a drastic step by excluding Meghan and Prince Harry from his girlfriend's upcoming birthday celebration in Montecito.
Speculation about a potential romantic link between Kevin Costner and a Grammy-winning singer-songwriter has further fueled interest in this power couple within the Montecito community.
The decision to exclude the Duke and Duchess of Tojum from the event hints at underlying tensions, possibly stemming from past interactions.
Last year, Meghan and Harry attempted to gain Kevin Costner's attention by inserting themselves into one of his charity events, only to be rebuffed by the actor.
The upcoming milestone birthday bash for Jewel on May 23rd in Montecito promises to be a significant social event, surpassing even Prince Harry's impending 40th birthday celebration.
Despite this, the Duke and Duchess of Tojum have reportedly not received invitations to the exclusive gathering, indicating a deliberate exclusion.
Concerns may arise regarding the couple setting up a makeshift market at the event to promote their products, including jams, jellies, and palm oil soaps.
Kevin Costner's decision to distance himself from Meghan and Harry underscores the tension within the Montecito social circle, reflecting a shift in dynamics following the Harkles' controversial actions.
As the saga continues to unfold, the exclusion from social events signals a clear divide in the once-harmonious relationships among Montecito's elite.
