MEGHAN MARKLE’S DAD REVEALS LETTERS SHE SENT TO HIM: Meghan Markle‘s estranged father Thomas Markle has revealed a five page letter that she sent to him. According to The Daily Mail, Markle wrote the letter to her dad in August 2018. The letter read, “Your actions have broken my heart into a million pieces – not simply because you have manufactured such unnecessary and unwarranted pain, but by making the choice to not tell the truth as you are puppeteered in this. Something I will never understand.” Meghan also noted how her dad didn’t contact her — after he claimed that he was “frozen out” by the royals. She continued, “I have only ever loved, protected, and defended you, offering whatever financial support I could, worrying about your health. So the week of the wedding to hear about you having a heart attack through a tabloid was horrifying. I called and texted … I begged you to accept help – we sent someone to your home … and instead of speaking to me to accept this or any help, you stopped answering your phone and chose to only speak to tabloids. She added, “Please stop exploiting my relationship with my husband … I realize you are so far down this rabbit hole that you feel (or may feel) there’s no way out, but if you take a moment to pause I think you’ll see that being able to live with a clear conscience is more valuable than any payment in the world.”

IS ANGELINA JOLIE PURSUING SEAN PENN TO GET REVENGE ON BRAD PITT AND CHARLIZE THERON?: Rumor has it that Angelina Jolie is pursuing Sean Penn in order to get revenge on Brad Pitt and Charlize Theron dating.

They were already pretty close, but they’ve decided to ramp things up since their exes got together.” According to Gossip Cop, this story is not true.

I was cramping really, really bad, which was quite strange because I normally don’t. I was thinking maybe I had something that had gluten in it. That’s what I was thinking. Well, it was late at night and I went to use the restroom and right there was the baby. Gone.” She added, “I couldn’t believe it and I was hoping it wasn’t true. It was the worst day of my life.” The couple tied the knot in June 2018 after a short engagement and a month of dating.
