Meghan Markle, the former actress-turned-royal-turned-ex-royal, is causing quite a stir with her plans to return to the silver screen.

The Duchess of Sussex, who parted ways with the royal family alongside her husband Prince Harry last year, has reportedly been in talks with some of Hollywood’s biggest names for a comeback role that could potentially earn her a staggering $30 million.

However, not everyone is thrilled about Markle’s ambitions.

According to sources, Brad Pitt, one of the most influential stars in the industry, has openly criticized Markle and is urging fellow actors and producers to boycott her projects.

Pitt, who won a BAFTA for his supporting role in “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,” is said to be deeply disappointed by Markle’s behavior and attitude, particularly after she snubbed him at a party in Los Angeles.

The source revealed to New Idea that Pitt considers Markle to be a phony and a hypocrite who has betrayed both the royal family and the British people.

He simply cannot comprehend why she would willingly abandon such a privileged and respected position in pursuit of fame and fortune in Hollywood.

In Pitt’s eyes, Markle is delusional and arrogant to assume that she can effortlessly re-enter the industry and demand top-tier roles and accolades.

The source further disclosed that Pitt has been making jokes about Markle and her husband at various award shows and events, including the BAFTAs.

At the ceremony, he humorously referenced their decision to relocate to the United States and playfully referred to his trophy as “Harry to the power of nine.”

Pitt also mocked Markle’s friendship with Tyler Perry, who generously offered the couple his Los Angeles mansion and became Markle’s confidant after she stepped away from her royal duties.

Given Pitt’s significant influence and standing in Hollywood, he has been using his clout to dissuade people from collaborating with Markle.

The source added that Pitt has been cautioning his friends and colleagues about Markle, labeling her as trouble and advising them to steer clear of her.

He has even gone so far as to spread rumors that Markle is desperately vying for an Oscar and has persistently pestered him and his production company for a role in one of their films.

The effectiveness of Pitt’s campaign against Markle is evident, as many directors and producers whom Markle approached have either rejected her or chosen to ignore her inquiries.

Markle, who reportedly has her sights set on a role in “The Bodyguard 2,” a remake of the iconic film that was once offered to Princess Diana, is struggling to find a suitable project that will showcase her talents and enhance her reputation.

The source revealed that Markle is livid and frustrated by Pitt’s interference and animosity.

She believes that he is envious and insecure of her accomplishments and popularity.
