On April 28th, Meghan Markle and her dad, Thomas, still got this rocky relationship years after she tied the knot with Prince Harry. Roe Bogger for Tom Bauer says she's treated him rough, calling him a good man who's been through a lot. He shared a story from when Meghan was five years old, out on a Hollywood red carpet with her lighting director pops, and she straight up declared she, wanted to be the star. Bauer spilled this on a podcast, painting a picture of Meghan's early spotlight dreams that never faded. Fast forward, Thomas moved to the Philippines and hit hard times, staying broke and far from family. Now at 81 years old, Thomas had a limb amputated this year after a blood clot in his left leg. Meghan's team says they sent him a letter, but folks are calling it cold. An 81-year-old man, lonely, sick, and struggling without more, hands on help. TV host Mark Dolan blasted it as not enough, pointing out Thomas can't even hit the hospital around the clock. Critics see it messing with Meghan's Hollywood comeback and her lifestyle brand as ever, turning family drama into a full PR headache.

All this keeps the tension boiling, with Thomas waiting for real reconciliation, while Meghan pushes her projects forward. That's the story for today. Entertainment and celebrity news today, driven by AI.
