However, the actor was dissatisfied with this arrangement and requested a change in his seat. Furthermore, De Niro disclosed that Markle was eliminated from the Golden Globes when she was asked to show off her nipples. Her desire to wear thin clothes with no underwear was rejected by the organizers, who deemed it unconventional. Allegedly, De Niro expressed to the organizers that he did not wish to be associated with Markle, whom he regards as a liar and a bully.
De Niro has been vocal in his criticism of Markle, publicly expressing support for the royal family. In an April 2021 interview with The Times, he conveyed his appall at Markle's accusations and expressed sympathy for Queen Elizabeth and the late Prince Philip. De Niro deemed Markle's claims of racism as unconvincing, labeling her a drama queen seeking sympathy and attention.
Notably, De Niro is not the only star distancing himself from Markle at the Golden Globes. Reports suggest that several other celebrities, including Mel Gibson, Jim Kisil, Caitlyn Jenner, and Tom Hanks, have also requested to avoid sitting near Markle, who is expected to attend the event with Prince Harry.
According to a source, Markle is perceived as unpopular among the Hollywood elite, viewed as a troublemaker and diva who has alienated many with her attitude and accusations. The source further explained that Markle intends to use the Golden Globes as a platform to defend herself and correct impressions created by recent events. However, the Hollywood elite remains unsupportive, seeing her as deluded in thinking she can win over the audience with charm and charisma.
The Golden Globe Awards, renowned for honoring excellence in film and television, are considered a precursor to the Oscars and are voted on by members of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. The ceremony, hosted by Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, will be broadcast live on NBC.
In other news, Megan Markle has been accused of following in the footsteps of the US's most controversial family, the Kardashians, amid her crumbling Hollywood career. In a conversation with talk TV's presenter Johnny Gold, author Oie London claimed that the Duchess of Sussex might be attempting to become an influencer by wearing clearly sponsored brands around the paparazzi. London added that she could try her luck in fitness and wellness.
Speaking of Prince Harry and his wife's constant criticism against the royal family, the author shared, "I go to America all the time, and a few years ago, Megan and Harry were pretty popular. Every time I go there now, every single person I speak to is not a fan." London said that following the release of Omid Scobie's racist Royals claims, the California-based couple strained their relationship with senior members of the royal family. He added, "The problem is the royal family don't trust them now. The Omid Scobie endgame book was a really flop. We know Megan had a lot to do in feeding him information. Megan's trying to become an influencer."
Earlier, it was reported that Meghan is desperate to collaborate with high-end fashion brands to revive her acting career. Notably, Meghan also revealed that she has been working on exciting projects at the Variety's Power of Women Gala in November 2023.
