Yoga instructor Rodney Yee has illuminated the gradual separation between Oprah Winfrey, Doria, and Meghan Markle. Yee, a prominent yoga teacher and social worker residing in Los Angeles, shares a connection with both Winfrey and Markle through their shared attendance at the Agape International Spiritual Center in the Californian city.
Their acquaintance deepened when Winfrey reached out to Doria to extend her support amid the media frenzy that engulfed Meghan. As it turns out, they all frequented the Agape Center, a community founded by Michael Bernard Beckwith in 1986, dedicated to embracing the dignity and uniqueness of every individual.
Following the Royal Wedding, Doria maintained her presence at the Agape Center, while Oprah's appearances dwindled. In an interview with us, Ricky Byers, former music and arts director at Agape, candidly confirmed that Oprah and Doria are no longer seen together. The aftermath of the contentious interview with Harry and Meghan strained Oprah's credibility and integrity, leading to her distancing herself from the Sussexes. The decision to air the interview during Prince Philip's final moments further impacted Oprah's standing.
Once, Doria and Oprah frequented the yoga center of world-renowned yoga instructor Rodney Yee. However, Yee recently shared that celebrities, including Oprah, have shifted to practicing yoga at home, signaling Oprah's detachment from her prior yoga routines and associations.
Oprah's distancing extends beyond yoga. Her endorsement of Meghan's coffee company, Clever Blends, was short-lived. After concerns were raised about the origins and health aspects of the coffee samples, Oprah deleted promotional posts related to the brand. Meghan's financial involvement in the ethically-sourced instant coffee brand has raised questions, as the company had previously received supplies from a Chinese business tied to human rights controversies.
Meghan's investment in the wellness startup, despite potential ethical concerns, prompted Oprah's involvement. However, both Oprah and Meghan have encountered criticism for their association with businesses linked to contentious issues. This series of events ultimately showcases the evolving dynamics within their circle and the wider implications of their choices.
