An insider has come forward with claims that Oprah Winfrey has "dumped" Meghan Markle for being too toxic. Looking at the bigger picture, there appears to be some evidence to support this, and it’s sparking quite the buzz.
According to the insider, Oprah has cut ties with Meghan, and when you step back and take a look at all the signs, it seems like there might be some truth to this claim.
Recently, Oprah threw a star-studded 70th birthday party for her best friend, Gail King, which she proudly shared on Instagram. Oprah revealed, "My bestie of 50 years is turning 70, so we gathered everyone who loves her to celebrate. Hard thing to surprise her… oh the stories we’ve made up, the lies we’ve told to keep it a secret. Happy birthday, Gail King, sorry we almost gave you a heart attack!"
You'd think that Meghan, being one of Oprah’s closest friends, would be at such a significant event, but no—she was notably absent. According to the insider, Meghan’s absence was intentional. The source told the New York Post, "A-listers are now actively avoiding them, i.e., Harry and Meghan, at events they plan to attend. One insider mentioned that it’s not a good look to be associated with them anymore."
So, has Oprah finally realized that associating with Meghan and Harry could hurt her own reputation? It certainly seems like it might be the case. UK Royal Gossip even suggested that Oprah’s message to Meghan is clear: Meghan has become "socially radioactive." And, honestly, that assessment doesn’t seem far-fetched.
Now, let’s look at the bigger picture here. This isn’t the first sign that Oprah might be distancing herself from Meghan. Just a few months ago, Meghan was giving a speech at a bookstore event in Montecito when Oprah unexpectedly interrupted. According to reports, Oprah arrived late, causing a disruption during Meghan’s speech. The awkward moment was captured on video, where Oprah quietly entered the room while Meghan was speaking. Meghan, focused on her speech, didn’t even notice Oprah’s arrival until Oprah apologized. It raised eyebrows because if Oprah truly cared, she would have arrived on time—sending a clear message that she wasn't prioritizing her friend’s moment.
This isn’t the first instance of Meghan losing high-profile friendships. Reports confirm that her relationship with David and Victoria Beckham is over. The Clooneys, too, have distanced themselves, and her former *Suits* castmates are reportedly no longer in touch with her. Earlier this year, Gina Torres confirmed that Meghan wasn’t even part of their *Suits* WhatsApp group anymore. In fact, Meghan has reportedly been struggling to get celebrities onto her podcast, with many turning down her requests. Some are even said to have found her offers "insulting."
This pattern of Meghan losing celebrity friends is becoming all too familiar. Whether it’s Oprah, the Beckhams, or the Clooneys, time and time again, insiders claim that Meghan’s relationships have soured due to her "toxic" behavior. And now, with Oprah reportedly dumping Meghan, it seems the list continues to grow.
As for the Gail King birthday party, it’s no surprise that Meghan wasn’t invited. The insider suggests that A-listers are actively staying away from Meghan and Harry, with one source saying, "It’s not a good look to be around them." It looks like Oprah, Gail, the Beckhams, the Clooneys, and even the *Suits* cast have all received the memo.
