Salon owner Amanda Leone has confirmed that Meghan Markle is being avoided by Hollywood celebrities who fear being secretly recorded.

One of the new additions to Meghan’s circle is hairdresser Amanda Leone, whose salon in a Montecito shopping mall is frequented by another friend of Meghan, television personality Ellen DeGeneres.

Meghan is often spotted visiting the salon just before her public appearances.

According to a source, Meghan and Ellen share a close bond, with rumors suggesting that Ellen recommended the salon to Meghan.

Previously, Meghan had developed a close relationship with Hollywood power agent Ari Emanuel, the head of William Morris Endeavor, which signed Meghan in April.

Ari Emanuel is married to designer Sarah Staudinger, whose pink linen short suit Meghan sported at an LA Lakers basketball game.

However, a shift has occurred as Meghan finds herself completely avoided by her once tight-knit group of friends.

Amanda Leone herself was taken aback by the sudden change in their dynamics.

While Meghan and others still frequent the salon regularly, there has been a noticeable adjustment in the beauty appointment schedules of Meghan’s Hollywood friends.

They seem to deliberately avoid the days when Meghan is expected to visit.

Notable figures who have distanced themselves from Meghan include Sarah Rafferty, Abigail Spencer, Sarah Staudinger, Ellen DeGeneres, Katy Perry, and Gloria Steinem, who have seemingly cut ties with Meghan.

Recent reports suggested that Meghan and Harry were banned from the exclusive $4,200 per year San Vincente bungalows due to allegations of arranging paparazzi shots of their arrivals and departures, potentially breaching the privacy of other guests.

The privacy policy of San Vincente bungalows strictly prohibits photography inside the club, often using stickers to cover phone camera lenses.

Additionally, members and guests are forbidden from discussing their experiences within the club.

In the past, Meghan Markle, known for her role as an actress, wrote about her close friends in her blog The Tig.

Her social circle included soulmates, fellow celebrities from showbiz events, and various personalities from the fashion and charity sectors.

Notably, the friendship with David and Victoria Beckham, who attended her wedding to Prince Harry in 2018, seems to have faded.

Their absence was noted at the wedding of the Beckhams’ son Brooklyn to US heiress Nicola Peltz and at Lionel Messi’s debut for David’s Inter Miami football team.

The term “Markled,” used humorously by critics of Meghan, describes how swiftly she appears to move on from past relationships.

Even her father, Thomas, 79, is a prime example, as he no longer communicates with Meghan after selling paparazzi photos of himself preparing for a wedding.

The evolving dynamics within Meghan’s social circle reflect the complexities and challenges faced by individuals navigating fame and privacy concerns in the spotlight.
