Meghan Markle may have married into the royal family and on the cusp of motherhood, ready to look after her own bub – but it doesn’t mean her mum Doria Ragland won’t be by her side.

The Duchess of Sussex’s mother is said to have come to her daughter’s defence after reported surfaced that her ex-husband and American actor Trevor Engelson had plans to launch a TV comedy based on their failed marriage.

According to British newspaper The Sun, “Doria Ragland, who is currently preparing to head to Windsor for the imminent arrival of Baby Sussex, was previously dispatched by the Duchess of Sussex to confront her ex-husband Trevor Engelson about his plans to launch a TV comedy based on the couple’s failed marriage.”

The comedy sparked a lot of conversations, with the executive producer of hit TV show Modern Family working on it with Trevor via Fox Studios.

It was expected that fans would follow the story which saw the ex-husband of a British princess struggle with having to share custody of their (fictitious) child with a princess in England.

The storyline had obvious comparisons to Meghan and Prince Harry’s public marriage,  therefore The Duchess heavily opposed the comedy, particularly as it planned to make fun of the royal romance on a weekly basis.

The Sun suggests Meghan’s mother “is believed to have maintained a friendly relationship with Trevor – and her intervention seems to have worked. He ended up agreeing to drop the comedy altogether.”

Meghan and Trevor began dating in 2004 and tied the knot in 2011. He was a producer on her famous legal drama Suits.

The Duchess is yet to make any formal announcement about the TV show.

Keanu Reeves Backs Katt Williams and Exposes the Dark Truth About Oprah

For years, comedian Katt Williams has been vocal about his disdain for Oprah Winfrey, revealing a darker side to her persona that few have dared to expose. Recently, Keanu Reeves has joined Williams in this crusade, lending his support and amplifying the controversy. Williams has long criticized Oprah, portraying her as more sinister than anyone could imagine. He suggests that she is the real villain behind the scenes, overshadowing even notorious figures like Diddy. His revelations depict Oprah as an embodiment of evil, challenging her carefully maintained public image. The controversy took a dramatic turn when Reeves, known for his tranquil demeanor and avoidance of controversy, publicly supported Williams. This unexpected alliance has created a buzz, suggesting deeper issues at play. A significant part of the controversy involves Mo'Nique's feud with Oprah. It began in 2009 when Mo'Nique refused to participate in a press tour for the movie "Precious," which Oprah co-produced. The refusal was due to Mo'Nique's desire to spend time with her family, as she was not compensated for the additional work. Initially, Oprah seemed to accept Mo'Nique's decision, but soon after, stories emerged in tabloids portraying Mo'Nique as difficult. Despite winning an Oscar, she found herself blacklisted in Hollywood, which she believes was orchestrated by Oprah.

In a recent interview, Mo'Nique disclosed that "Precious" director Lee Daniels confirmed she was deliberately blacklisted. Moreover, Oprah exploited Mo'Nique's past trauma on national television by inviting her brother, who had abused her, to discuss the ordeal without Mo'Nique's prior consent. Oprah's actions, perceived as a betrayal, left Mo'Nique feeling blindsided and exploited.

This pattern of exploitation extends beyond Mo'Nique. Oprah has been accused of manipulating personal information from celebrities for ratings. Notable critics include 50 Cent and Ludacris. 50 Cent accused Oprah of pandering to a predominantly white audience while disregarding her roots. Ludacris felt misrepresented when Oprah used her show to criticize his music, later discovering that his responses were edited out. The controversy doesn't stop at Oprah's handling of celebrities. Her connections with figures like Diddy, Harvey Weinstein, and Tyler Perry raise eyebrows. Williams alleges that Oprah uses her resources to eliminate anyone who opposes her. Recent events have further fueled the controversy. Oprah's properties in Maui remained untouched by devastating wildfires, prompting questions about her influence. Instead of directly aiding those affected, Oprah launched a fundraising campaign, which many criticized given her immense wealth. This incident, along with her extensive land acquisitions post-2017 fires, has led to speculation about her true motives.

In conclusion, Keanu Reeves' support for Katt Williams highlights the growing scrutiny of Oprah Winfrey. Williams' accusations, coupled with Mo'Nique's revelations and the public's skepticism, paint a complex picture of Oprah. While she remains a powerful figure, the emerging narratives challenge the carefully curated image she has maintained for decades. This saga reveals the intricate power dynamics and moral complexities within the entertainment industry.
