Whoopi Goldberg blocks Meghan Markle from joining the Malibu celebrity community, citing her refusal to have her as a neighbor. Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are reportedly buying a dream home in Malibu, aiming to revive their careers in Hollywood. However, several high-profile celebrities, including Jennifer Aniston, Jeff Bridges, Courtney Cox, Leonardo DiCaprio, Whoopi Goldberg, Tom Hanks and Brad Pitt, are not interested in having the Sussexes as neighbors. Sources close to the couple reveal that the move to Los Angeles allows Meghan, previously known for her role in the TV series “Suits”, to move closer to the heart of the entertainment industry, following their three-year stint in Montecito.
The average home value in Malibu is $6.5 million, and the area is home to a star-studded community. Megan is reportedly relaunching her social media presence, after aligning herself with Tinseltown mega-agent Ari Emanuel of WME. Alongside her charity team Archewell and officials at WME, the Duchess aims to increase her visibility in Hollywood as she embarks on a rebranding journey. The former royal couple have been exploring properties in Malibu and Woodland Hills, with insiders suggesting Meghan is hoping to recreate the idyllic lifestyle she experienced growing up in Los Angeles. According to sources, they have now settled in a specific location, with the real estate agent sworn to secrecy.
Earlier this month, Meghan made her red carpet debut in Hollywood at Variety’s “The Power of Women” celebration, teasing her future plans as a producer. She expressed her desire to create meaningful content that evokes emotions and fosters a sense of community. While Meghan appears excited about her plans, industry insiders believe her continued criticism of the royal family through her new book could create complications. Hollywood has its own set of values, carefully crafted for public consumption, and the ongoing feud between the Sussexes and the royal family could make it difficult for Meghan to find allies in the entertainment industry.
The book’s release is expected to further strain Prince Harry’s relationship with his family, potentially preventing him from returning to Britain alone. There have been rumors recently about a possible divorce and Harry returning to the UK, which could prove disastrous for him. The contents of the book could further solidify his dependence on Meghan, leaving him forever separated from his family and dependent on them. Concerns have been raised about their willingness to exploit their friendships for financial gain through books and Netflix documentaries, as they have previously published flattering articles suggesting Megan’s involvement in various projects with well-known brands.
Given the Sussexes’ strained relationship and negative portrayal in the media, their choice of residency may ultimately be inconsequential. Malibu, despite a wealthy population, is a close-knit community where integration is important, and it seems unlikely that Meghan would find the adoration she desires in such an environment.
