The highly anticipated red carpet premiere of The Color Purple took place last night at the Academy Museum in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles.
This star-studded event was attended by the film’s cast, including Meghan Markle and Prince Harry.
However, what caught everyone’s attention was the absence of Meghan’s former best friends, Oprah Winfrey and Tyler Perry, who coldly omitted her from the guest list.
Oprah, who played a pivotal role in producing the film, graced the red carpet alongside other cast members, such as Taraji P. Henson, Hal Bailey, Corey Hawkins, David Allen Greer, Colman Domingo, Heather Headley, and Dan Cole.
She turned heads in a stunning purple gown that accentuated her slender waist.
It is worth noting that Oprah had famously starred in the original film adaptation of The Color Purple, directed by Steven Spielberg, which earned her an Oscar nomination in 1986.
Directed by Blitz Bazawahl, the remake features a talented ensemble cast, including Danielle Brooks, Hal Bailey, Taraji Henson, and Fantasia Barrino.
The Color Purple is set to hit theaters on Christmas Day, adding to the excitement surrounding the premiere.
However, Meghan Markle’s absence from the event has sparked speculation and raised eyebrows.
As someone who shares a close friendship with Oprah and has Tyler Perry as an ally, it is surprising that she was not on the guest list.
Rumors suggest that Meghan’s absence may be due to a desire to avoid potential drama associated with her and Prince Harry, given the ongoing controversies surrounding them.
Meghan and Harry’s relationship with the media has been tumultuous, and their public statements and actions have often made headlines for the wrong reasons.
Oprah, being a savvy media mogul, likely wanted to keep the spotlight on the film premiere itself and not risk having it overshadowed by any drama involving Meghan and Harry, dubbed as “Harkle.”
Another question arises: does Meghan Markle even have a deep understanding of the movie, The Color Purple, and its significance?
This iconic film tells the story of African-American women and their struggles, and having Meghan, a biracial woman, in attendance might have sparked further discussions, especially considering her history of playing the victim and accusing people of discrimination.
Despite having powerful allies in the entertainment industry like Tyler Perry and Oprah, Meghan Markle’s involvement in Hollywood projects remains limited.
She has not been cast in any significant roles by Tyler Perry, nor has she been publicly associated with Oprah’s productions like Netflix’s SP or Endgame.
These developments raise questions about Meghan’s standing in the entertainment industry.
Rumors suggest that WNE, the talent agency representing Meghan, might be considering dropping her due to the increasing challenges associated with managing her career.
The release of Endgame seemed to have only added fuel to the fire, and Meghan’s Hollywood comeback appears to be facing significant hurdles.
In essence, Meghan Markle’s return to Hollywood is not going as planned.
The ongoing royal controversies, fueled by books like Ahmed Scobie’s, threaten to make her career too hot to handle.
Experts believe that Meghan’s association with the royal family, ongoing legal battles with her sister, and potentially her father, as well as her public statements, have tarnished her reputation.
This could potentially harm the reputation of her agency in the long run.
As Meghan navigates her way through the challenges of her Hollywood comeback, only time will tell if she can overcome these obstacles and regain her standing in the entertainment industry.
