According to The Express US, Paula Froelich, who is a senior story producer and contributor for NewsNation, revealed that as well as Steven and Oprah, other movers and shakers in the industry such as Rob Lowe and Julia Louis-Dreyfus, have blanked the couple. It is also reported that those who have blanked the couple all have homes in Montecito, with their pads likely a stones throw away from the Duke and Duchess’ mansion.
Speaking to the paper, Paula explained that the “big power players” in Hollywood don’t want to jeopardise their businesses for Harry and Meghan. With many “deliberately keeping their distance” so they don’t upset the Prince and Princess of Wales, William and Kate.
