Kevin Costner has taken the bold step of excluding Meghan Markle from future social gatherings at Montesito.
This decision comes on the heels of a controversial tour wherein critics lambasted Meghan Markle's transition from political aspirations to distributing jars of jam and lemon baskets. Despite the criticism, Meghan recently unveiled her new lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, offering a sneak peek at upcoming products by gifting 50 influencers with a jar of strawberry jam.
Among the recipients were Meghan's former "Suits" co-star Abigail Spencer, designer Tracer Robbins, and socialite Kris Jenner. However, there were minor mishaps as at least two of the labels fell off, preventing the recipients from posting on social media.
Former BBC Royal Correspondent Michael Cole speculated that Meghan could potentially market these jars for an impressive $200 each, indicating promising returns on her investment. However, skepticism arises regarding the feasibility of such a high price point. One of the 50 recipients returned the jar due to reluctance to post about it, underscoring the pressure some felt to promote something they weren't enthusiastic about. Despite efforts to return it, communication hurdles delayed the process, leaving the jar sitting on someone's desk for days.
Rumors have emerged suggesting that Adele and Kevin Costner may have declined the "Scam Jam," as it's been dubbed. The authenticity of these claims remains uncertain. Notably, prominent figures like Oprah, Gayle King, and Tyler Perry have refrained from posting about receiving the jam. Kevin Costner's distancing from Meghan and Harry stems from the fallout of a recent incident wherein their presence overshadowed his charity event.
Speculation about Kevin Costner's romantic involvement with Meghan Markle swirls amidst reports of his exclusion of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex from his girlfriend's upcoming birthday celebration. Last year's attempt by Meghan and Harry to assert themselves at one of Kevin's events ended in an awkward snub, further souring relations. With Jewel's milestone birthday approaching, there's anticipation for a grand celebration in Montesito, yet notably absent from the guest list are Meghan and Harry. Concerns linger that their presence might lead to unwanted commercial ventures, such as selling their jams and other products, disrupting the event's ambiance.
