Brad Pitt Turns His Back on Meghan Markle at Daytona Race

What was meant to be a glamorous day at the Rolex 24 at Daytona took a sharp turn for Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex.

The former actress, who stepped away from royal duties with her husband Prince Harry last year, found herself in an uncomfortable spotlight at one of America's most prestigious endurance racing events.

Invited by her friend and fellow “Suits” star Patrick J. Adams, Markle quickly discovered that not everyone was eager to welcome her.

As she arrived at the Daytona International Speedway, Markle was met with an unexpected chill from both the crowd and Hollywood's elite.

Among them was Brad Pitt, a well-known racing enthusiast and friend of Formula 1 champion Lewis Hamilton.

Pitt was at the event filming scenes for his upcoming Formula 1 movie, where he plays a seasoned driver making a comeback.

However, it seems he had little interest in acknowledging Markle's presence.

Sources close to Pitt revealed that he was unaware of Markle's attendance and had no intentions of engaging with her.

One insider noted, “Brad has no respect for Meghan and what she has done to the royal family.” The source added that Pitt views her as manipulative, primarily focused on fame and wealth, leading him to avoid any interaction.

Markle, hoping to mingle with Pitt and other celebrities, faced a harsh reality.

Reports indicate that she attempted to greet him but was met with indifference.

“She tried to act friendly, but he just walked past her without even a glance,” shared another source.

This left Markle feeling humiliated and isolated, prompting her to realize the decline of her influence in Hollywood.

To compound her embarrassment, Markle was met with hostility from the race attendees.

Many fans, who openly supported the royal family, expressed their disdain for her.

Shouts of “traitor,” “liar,” and “gold digger” echoed through the stands, leaving her rattled and eager to escape the scene.

A third source mentioned that she felt attacked and frightened by the crowd's reaction.

The fallout from Markle's Daytona appearance has only exacerbated her already tarnished reputation.

Both in the U.S. and the U.K., she faces increasing criticism and mockery from the media and public alike.

Comparisons have been drawn between her and Grace Kelly, the late Hollywood star who attended the Daytona race in 1966.

Unlike Markle, Kelly was celebrated for her elegance and grace, winning over both fans and fellow celebrities.

Where Kelly was embraced for her loyalty and poise, Markle has become synonymous with controversy and disdain.

Once aspiring to emulate Kelly's legacy, she now finds herself in stark contrast—an ostracized figure who has driven a wedge between her husband and his family.

Pitt's cold shoulder serves as a significant blow, reflecting the shifting tides of public opinion regarding Markle.

It's evident that she has lost not only the favor of the masses but also the respect of influential figures in Hollywood.

This latest incident at Daytona has reinforced the narrative that she is more trouble than she's worth.

As Markle grapples with the fallout, her dreams of being accepted back into the fold of Hollywood seem increasingly distant.

The once-promising future she envisioned has crumbled, leaving her to confront the reality of her actions and their repercussions.

Markle's Daytona debacle underscores a troubling trend—one that reveals her struggles in navigating her public persona.

With her reputation in tatters, she faces a long road ahead to rebuild any semblance of goodwill, both in Hollywood and beyond.
