WME stirred up headlines by uninviting Megan from the star-studded Hollywood pre-Oscars bash in Beverly Hills.
This move signals a forthcoming termination of their contract with her next month. As Hollywood's elite gear up for the Oscars with extravagant pre-parties, the anticipation is as high as the main event itself. Notable figures like Usher, John Legend, and Leonardo DiCaprio gathered at one of Hollywood's iconic mansions to kick off the festivities.
The event, hosted by the William Morris and deor talent agency, took place at the renowned Beverly estate, often dubbed the Godfather mansion, and was brimming with A-listers.
According to TMZ, the William Morris bash on Friday night was a glittering affair, reminiscent of old Hollywood glamour. Despite representing Megan, WME chose not to extend an invitation to her and Prince Harry. However, the agency celebrated Oscar weekend in style, showcasing their nominated clients, including esteemed director Christopher Nolan and Hollywood heavyweight Robert Downey Jr. The party unfolded at the William Randolph Hurst estate, where scenes from "The Godfather" were shot, and featured a vibrant music scene.
Guests were treated to sightings of Usher, fresh from his electrifying Super Bowl performance and recent album release, mingling with industry stalwarts like Justin Timberlake and mega-producer Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds. Among the star-studded crowd was Leonardo DiCaprio, who lit up the dance floor well into the night. Other notable attendees included Austin Butler, Brie Larson, Kristen Stewart, and Nicholas Cage, making it an exclusive affair.
The mansion bash boasted ten themed areas, ranging from a Chinatown Night Market to an Egyptian Lounge, with a portion of the proceeds from the casino area going to charity. The eclectic mix of settings also included a bedroom inspired by "Clueless" and a Narnia-themed Speakeasy, complete with furniture made of ice. However, conspicuously absent were Harry and Megan, who have been sidelined by both Hollywood and the Oscars, despite their lack of involvement in filmmaking this year.
Insiders revealed that tensions between Megan and WME had been simmering for some time, culminating in a decision to sever ties with the couple. With their contract set to expire in April 2024, it appears that WME is quietly winding down their association. Megan's recent enlistment of a UK-based PR firm suggests a strategic move to navigate the fallout. However, it seems that even the best efforts may not salvage their relationship with Hollywood's power players.
As speculations swirl about their future, one thing is clear: the Sussexes' time in Hollywood may be coming to an end. With their focus shifting back across the ocean, the question remains whether they can secure their inheritance amidst the growing uncertainty surrounding their ties to the entertainment industry.
