Right now, the only person that Meghan Duchess of Sussex can rely on in her biological family is her mom.
How Doria Loyce Ragland, who seems like a nice lady, got involved with the Markles in the first place is a mystery.
For a full list of Meghan’s embarrassing family members, go here.
For now, let’s focus on her half-brother, Tom Jr.
Last time we saw Tom his fiancé, Darlene, beat him up outside a bar. This, shortly after he was arrested for threatening her with a gun.
Good times.
Now he’s telling everyone who will listen that he is homeless, reports NewsAU.
While Meghan Markle celebrates her new arrival in the luxurious surroundings of Windsor, life couldn’t be more different for her brother.
For the past two months he’s been living in a hotel room in Oregon with fiance Darlene, her son and their two dogs — after losing his job, his home and being unable to find anywhere else to live, reports The Sun.
Tom believes that the fame he has acquired due to his royal sister has made it impossible for him to get a job or lease a house.
“Living in a small hotel room is really taking its toll on Darlene and her son — on all of us.
“And it’s all because my life suddenly got catapulted into the spotlight — through no fault of my own.
“My every move has been put under the microscope — not just for me but all my family.
Tom’s problems started when his health prevented him from continuing to work as a glazier. Despite explaining the situation to his landlord, Paul Walter, he was issued an eviction notice.
He took the landlord to court, claiming that he agreed to vacate the property and left it in good condition. The landlord had a different story.
“I told the landlord at the time and he said I could just pay the overdue rent in January but as soon as I paid what I owed I got a lease termination.
“You can’t evict someone just because they don’t have a job — so we went to court and our attorneys made an agreement that I would leave by April 5.
“Right after that agreement he did interviews telling people I was a low-life, a freeloader, a scumbag, that I owed him money and I was being evicted which wasn’t true.
Thankfully for the troubled couple, Darlene was found not guilty of punching Tom in the face earlier this month.
With little money left to survive, Thomas Jr is trying to stay positive and is hoping that his upcoming celebrity boxing match will help turn things around for him.
The 52-year-old has signed a deal with boxing promoter Damon Feldman to fight actor Henry “Nacho” Laun, a close pal of Mark Wahlberg at an event next month.
“I’m doing this celebrity boxing because I want people to see I’m a normal person but it’s hard to counteract all the bad stuff,” he said.
Nah, man. Normal people don’t do celebrity boxing matches.
Anyway, he goes on for a while about how Meghan spent a ton of money on her baby shower while he has nothing, and how her celebrity status makes him a target (yet he still speaks to the tabloids…).
You get the idea.
What a family.
