The Golden Globes 2024, a renowned awards ceremony honoring excellence in film and television, took place on Sunday night.
However, much to the surprise of many, Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, was notably absent from the star-studded event.
Brad Pitt, the acclaimed actor and producer who attended the ceremony as a guest and presenter, has now shed light on the reason behind Meghan’s absence.
In an interview with reporters backstage, Brad Pitt disclosed that Meghan Markle had not been invited to the Golden Globes due to burning bridges and offending numerous individuals within the industry.
According to him, her actions had led to a situation where no one wanted to associate with her or her husband, Prince Harry.
Brad Pitt explained that Meghan had alienated and insulted former colleagues and friends who had supported her during her acting career, such as Patrick J. Adams, Gabriel Macht, and Sarah Rafferty, all of whom had attended her wedding in 2018.
He further revealed that she had also angered producers, directors, and executives who had given her opportunities and trusted her, including Aaron Korshe, the creator of “Suits,” and David E. Kelly, the creator of “The Undoing,” a mini-series for which Meghan had auditioned but was ultimately rejected.
Moreover, Brad Pitt claimed that Meghan had disrespected and betrayed her media fans by suing and attacking them for criticizing her and Prince Harry’s actions and decisions.
This included their explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey, their feud with the royal family, and their lawsuit against British tabloids.
He added that she had also failed to meet expectations set by critics and voters, delivering underwhelming performances and projects, such as her delayed or canceled deals with Netflix, Spotify, and Penguin Random House.
Brad Pitt went on to highlight instances where Meghan had embarrassed herself and her husband, wearing inappropriate outfits, making uninvited and rambling speeches, and attempting to steal the spotlight from other celebrities and honorees.
For example, he mentioned an incident at the Aviation Awards where Prince Harry was honored as a living legend of aviation, and Meghan’s actions drew attention away from John Travolta, the event’s host.
The actor expressed his belief that Meghan had lost her credibility and integrity by exaggerating and lying about her life experiences, portraying herself as a victim, and using her royal status and influence for personal gain while neglecting causes she claimed to support.
Brad Pitt asserted that Meghan had become an outcast and a subject of ridicule in the industry, with no prospects or hope in Hollywood.
In a somber tone, Brad Pitt expressed sympathy for Prince Harry, who had forsaken his royal duties and family to be with Meghan.
He remarked that Prince Harry had become isolated and miserable in California, losing both respect and reputation.
Brad Pitt hoped that Prince Harry would come to realize his mistake and regret, ultimately divorcing Meghan and returning to the UK to reconcile with his family and resume his royal duties.
Brad Pitt’s revelation has ignited a firestorm of controversy and outrage among the public and media, leading to a divided opinion on whom to blame and support.
Some individuals have sided with Brad Pitt, expressing agreement with his claims and showing solidarity with Prince Harry while expressing disappointment and anger towards Meghan Markle.
On the other hand, some have accused Brad Pitt of bias, sensationalism, and defamation, alleging that he is actively trying to sabotage and ruin the couple’s careers and lives.
As of now, neither Meghan Markle nor Prince Harry has responded directly to Brad Pitt’s revelation.
However, a source close to them has dismissed his claims as complete fabrications and malicious attacks, asserting that they have no connection to Brad Pitt or his revelation.
The source further emphasized that Meghan and Prince Harry are content with their life in California, focusing on their humanitarian work and family.
Despite the controversy surrounding Brad Pitt’s statement, it has undoubtedly added fuel to the ongoing debate and speculation surrounding Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s public image and future endeavors.
