Beyoncé Shuns Meghan Markle at Star-Studded Premiere Event
The highly-anticipated premiere of Beyoncé's concert film, “Renaissance,” took place in Beverly Hills on Saturday night, drawing in a star-studded audience.
However, one notable absence from the A-list crowd was Meghan Markle, as Lizzo revealed that Beyoncé intentionally excluded her from the exclusive event.
The Samuel Goldwyn Theatre of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences was adorned with a chrome carpet, setting the stage for a night of cozy opulence.
Attendees, including big names like Janelle Monáe, Issa Rae, Tyler Perry, and Gabrielle Union, had the chance to strike a pose on the flashy step-and-repeat, featuring artwork from Renaissance films, and mingle with Beyoncé's entourage.
Guests were then ushered into the theatre after surrendering their phones, eagerly awaiting the screening of the movie showcasing Beyoncé's record-breaking Renaissance tour.
However, all eyes were on the absence of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, who were conspicuously missing from the elite gathering.
Insider sources close to Lizzo disclosed that Meghan had been blacklisted from the event due to past incidents where she allegedly sought attention from Beyoncé during other concerts.
Despite efforts from her friends like Tyler Perry and Kris Jenner, Meghan failed to secure an invitation, hinting at the secrecy surrounding the exclusive guest list.
The event highlighted the presence of A-list black creatives such as Ava DuVernay and Issa Rae, underscoring the strength of black Hollywood.
Not even Oprah and Tyler Perry, who were in attendance, could extend an invite to Meghan, emphasizing her isolation from the tight-knit circle.
Meghan's exclusion from the premiere serves as a cautionary tale for celebrities seeking to align themselves with influential figures without genuine connections.
Beyoncé and Jay-Z's strained relationship with Meghan was evident, with the couple feeling deceived by her actions at previous events, leading to her absence from their recent concerts.
The premiere of “Renaissance,” directed by Beyoncé herself, showcased a glimpse of her reuniting with former Destiny's Child members, adding to the excitement of the evening.
While Taylor Swift, who attended her own tour premiere in mid-October, was notably absent from the event as she continued her tour in Brazil.
