Ellen DeGeneres Shuns Meghan Markle After Filthy Clapback
Ellen DeGeneres reportedly gave Meghan Markle the boot from her wife's birthday bash following a sharp retort from the Duchess.
Rumors are swirling that Meghan is attempting to divert attention from potential future setbacks.
The warning comes as Meghan and Prince Harry face a critical year, with advice circulating for Meghan to distance herself from the controversial Ellen DeGeneres.
The friendship between the former Suits actress and Ellen blossomed since their first encounter in 2017, escalating after Meghan's engagement to Prince Harry in 2018.
Their bond deepened when the Sussexes relocated to the US in 2020, spending significant time with Ellen and her wife, Portia de Rossi.
Harry and Meghan were honored guests at Ellen and Portia's vow renewal ceremony last year, joining a star-studded guest list that included Kris Jenner at the couple's Montecito estate.
Ellen has praised the royal duo as down-to-earth and compassionate individuals.
Recently, she hinted at their close relationship by revealing that the couple had adopted one of her rescue chickens.
However, Meghan's agency, WME, has advised her to distance herself from Ellen amid allegations of a toxic work environment on the set of Ellen's talk show, as the star attempts to rebuild her public image.
An insider disclosed to Closer magazine that Meghan has been cautioned against maintaining her friendship with Ellen, as it could further tarnish her reputation in America.
The source emphasized that any association with scandal could jeopardize all that Meghan and Harry have achieved.
Speculations suggest that Ellen distanced herself from Meghan following an incident at a police fundraiser hosted by Kevin Costner, where the pair were pictured alongside Oprah and others.
Ellen's refusal to grant Meghan a favor may have led to the rift in their relationship.
The tension escalated when Meghan and Harry were conspicuously absent from Portia de Rossi's 51st birthday celebration in Hollywood.
The event, attended by numerous entertainment industry luminaries, notably excluded Meghan, who was once close to Ellen.
DeGeneres shared a photo of her wife with a horse, accompanied by a heartfelt message expressing gratitude for her spouse.
Kris Jenner also paid tribute to de Rossi on Instagram, praising her beauty and talent as a backup dancer.
Despite the public displays of affection, it seems that Meghan and Ellen's once tight-knit friendship has hit a rough patch, raising questions about the future of their relationship.
