Oprah Winfrey Furious at Meghan Markle: Friendship Takes a Turn
The friendship between Oprah Winfrey and Meghan Markle has come to an unexpected end, leaving fans shocked and curious about the reasons behind their fallout.
Both parties have remained tight-lipped, refusing to comment on the rumors swirling around their once-close relationship.
As we await further details, it is important to take these unverified claims with a grain of salt until confirmed.
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have long been known for their close bond with the legendary American television host, Oprah Winfrey.
In fact, Oprah was among the esteemed guests invited to their grand wedding in 2018.
Shortly after the nuptials, she was even seen spending quality time with Meghan's mother, Doria Ragland, sparking rumors that Oprah was trying to infiltrate the Sussex inner circle.
However, recent reports suggest that Oprah Winfrey has distanced herself from Meghan and Harry in recent months.
Woman's Day Australia reported that their friendship has cooled off significantly.
According to the Entertainment News website, Oprah felt furious and betrayed after discovering that Meghan had allegedly lied to her during their tell-all interview.
An unnamed source revealed, “As soon as those headlines started coming out, and Oprah learned that they'd either exaggerated or downright lied to her, she was furious.
This has severely damaged Oprah's reputation as one of America's most skilled interviewers, and even now, almost eight months later, it hasn't quite recovered.”
Furthermore, insiders claim that Oprah Winfrey decided to distance herself from Meghan Markle after the Duchess's visit to a Harlem school.
Many found it insensitive that Meghan wore a $20,000 outfit, considering that most students at the school come from underprivileged backgrounds.
An industry insider shared, “American audiences are starting to realize that Harry and Meghan aren't exactly practicing what they're constantly preaching, and people are beginning to turn on them.
Oprah knows she needs to distance herself from them for her own good.”
Adding fuel to the fire, Oprah Winfrey recently revealed that she only trusts three friends: Gayle King, Maria Shriver, and Bob Green, her personal trainer.
This revelation left many surprised, as it was widely assumed that Oprah and Meghan had a close relationship.
A source close to Women's Day Australia commented, “That was a rather pointed comment to make because until that point, everyone in Oprah's circle assumed she was extremely close with Meghan.
But it seems that's changed.”
Interestingly, despite the apparent fallout, Oprah Winfrey did promote a wellness brand introduced to her by her Montecito neighbor, Meghan Markle.
Clever, a woman-led company, offers instant latte blends made with adaptogens and superfoods to enhance energy, mood, and focus.
Oprah included the Clever Super Latte Starter Kit, priced at $74, in her list of favorite things for 2021.
In an Instagram post, Meghan Markle had previously endorsed Clever blends as her new drink of choice.
Oprah, in turn, gave her endorsement to the coffee brand, highlighting its woman-led nature.
She also mentioned that Meghan had invested in the company and sent her a gift basket filled with their superfood products.
This single Instagram post is estimated to have generated a staggering $1 million worth of free publicity.
As the details surrounding the rift between Oprah Winfrey and Meghan Markle continue to unfold, fans are left wondering if their once-strong friendship can ever be repaired.
Only time will tell if these two influential women can find a way to reconcile their differences and move forward.
