Meghan Markle allegedly feels that former best friend, Jessica Mulroney duped her. And she has allegedly found a new friend to rely on.

According to In Touch Weekly, Mulroney’s racist remarks shocked the Duchess of Sussex. And even though Markle doesn’t think that Mulroney is a real racist, she was left with no other choice but to cut ties with her.

A source told In Touch Weekly that there was so much pressure on Markle to phase out Mulroney, and this is exactly what she did.

“There was pressure on Meghan to phase Jessica out. Even if she still wanted to be friends, she can’t be. The optics are too bad. Meghan feels duped,” the source said.

The source also said that Markle has forged a close relationship with Reese Witherspoon since she moved to Los Angeles in March.

“They have so much in common, plus Reese is already a huge star. She admires Meghan for who she is, not what she can get out of her,” the source said.

The insider also claimed that Witherspoon could pave the way for Markle to return to acting. And one of her first roles could be in Big Little Lies Season 3.

“Reese would love Meghan to play a part in Big Little Lies Season 3. Meghan’s a huge fan of the series and the way it represents female empowerment, which is what she’s all about,” the source said.

However, one should take the claims made by the tabloid with a grain of salt. As of late, it is still unclear if Markle really cut ties with Mulroney.

And Witherspoon and Markle haven’t also commented on their alleged friendship. As such, there is a huge possibility that the story is made up.

This isn’t the first time that In Touch Weekly has penned a phony article about Markle. In May, the tabloid claimed that the Duchess of Sussex was forced to testify in her lawsuit against a British tabloid.

On the cover of the magazine, a photo of a mobile phone with a cryptic message was published. They also claimed that shocking lies were exposed under oath.

But upon closer inspection, there was no mention of any shocking lie except the ones made by the tabloid. Markle wasn’t also forced to testify against her dad, Thomas Markle Sr., or spill secrets about the royal family.
