Michelle Obama and Meghan Markle are allegedly no longer friends. In its September 6 issue, Life & Style claimed that the former first lady used to treat Markle as one of her closest allies.
But over the past two years, their relationship changed. And the ex-FLOTUS eventually realized that she could not trust Markle.
Before Obama dumped Markle from her friend's list, the two women allegedly bonded over their shared interests and passion projects. They also allegedly spoke on the phone regularly.
“But the relationship soured. Michelle feels like Meghan can’t be trusted. And now the buzz is that she’s dumped her as a friend,” the source said.
The insider also claimed that Obama feels Markle became obsessed with her and Barack over the years. And this is one of the reasons why the ex-president didn’t invite the Sussexes to his birthday party.
“She’s also heard rumors that Meghan keeps name dropping the Obamas, and that she’s telling everyone they’re best friends, in some effort to further her career, which Michelle is unhappy about. It makes her feel used,” the source said.
To make things worse, the source claimed that Michelle can’t help but wonder if Markle used her and Barack’s name to launch their career with Netflix. After all, the Obamas were the first to sign a deal with the streaming platform after Barack left the White House.
Michelle couldn’t also help but wonder if the rumors about Markle starting some of her charity initiatives to make her friends famous are true.
Additionally, the Obamas are not also thrilled with how Markle and Prince Harry have been attacking the royal family during their interviews.
So, before they were even forced to choose between the British royals and the Sussexes, they already made the decision to keep their relationship with the royals.
But by the looks of it, all these rumors surrounding the Sussexes and the Obamas just started because the former royal couple wasn’t invited to Barack’s 60th birthday party.
However, both parties have not commented on the issue so there’s still a possibility that the Sussexes were invited to the bash. But it was their decision to not attend the celebration for their safety and the safety of their children.
As of late, there’s also no concrete proof that Michelle has officially cut ties with Markle.
