Slappy Engagement

[Blind Gossip] When this TV actress’ boyfriend was ready to propose, he talked to her father. The father gave his blessing under one condition.

When she was with [Her Ex], they got into some big fight, and it got physical and he slapped her. I don’t know if she hit him first or if she hit him back. Anyway, her dad knew about it and it upset him. That’s why he made [Her Boyfriend] promise not to hurt her.

Well, at least that explains the odd request.

  6. OMG!
    Duchess of Sussex.
    Trevor Engleson?

    I thought that was weird that Thomas Markle said that. That explains a lot.
    I think she is bad news, tbh.

    Optional: I would leave them permanently

  7. Meghan Markle and Prince Harry
    Having endured abuse in childhood, I would never tolerate violence of any kind.

  11. Actress: Meghan Markle – her dad just gave an interview saying he told Harry to “never lay a hand on her.”

    Boyfriend turned Fiance: Prince Harry

    Her Ex Who Slapped Her: Trevor Engelson

  13. Meg and Harry. Read about Tom Markle’s interview on Good Morning Britain.

    Ex: Trevor Engelson

    OPTIONAL: I’m currently trying to escape an abusive relationship that is no longer physically abusive but is emotionally traumatic. I lost an important member of my family just a year ago, and that has put me in a very fragile place emotionally, which is why at the time that the physical abuse was rampant (about a year ago) I was unable to leave. Still struggling. At the time, I and he -…

    • Good luck to you. I hope that you find the strength to leave. Hopefully you have someone you can talk to you that will help and guide you out of your situation. Never encountered physical but did encounter the mental abuse. Luckily I had the money to leave. I waited until he was at work and we had all my stuff packed up in 45 minutes. By the time he got home I was 4 states away. I am not a religious person but I will pray that you can find your way out of this relationship.

  16. Ooh, Harry and Meghan Markle!! I was wondering why on earth her dad would say such a weird thing to Harry! Thanks for the tea BG, you always got my back!

  19. Megan Markle and Prince Harry
    Ex who slapped her: Her ex husband???

    Optional: I’d strike back AND leave

  20. This is about Sparkles. She must’ve told her dad that some husband or boyfriend hit her because when Prince Harry asked Mr. Markle for Media Meg’s hand in marriage the dad said something about how Harry better not raise a hand to her. It’s hard to believe anything that comes from Sparkles and her family. Dad might be putting that out there to try to garner some support for his Princess Pushy.

    Maybe a slap is why Sparkles’ first marriage was annulled. Dunno if 2nd hubby hit her.

  25. Meghan
    Prince Harry
    I’m guessing Meghan’s ex husband which is why he’s now her EX.

    That’s not an odd request at all.. if someone struck me out of anger I would definitely hit them back not with my hands but with something near by. Getting slapped in the face especially by a man hurts like hell. Sad she experienced that

  27. Meghan Markle
    Prince Harry
    No clue on the ex. Ex husband maybe ?(don’t know his name)

  29. Actress: Meghan Markle

    Boyfriend turned Fiance: Prince Harry

    Her Ex Who Slapped Her: Trevor Engelson

    [Optional] If someone struck you in anger, what would you do? Strike back/ walk away/ leave them permanently/ something else?

    Strike back.

  30. It has been in the news today that Meghan Markles dad made Prince Harry promise not to ever raise his hand to Meghan. Her ex-husband is the guy who slapped her.
    A boyfriend, I would leave and never look back. Boyfriends get no second chances, they are disposable. Husbands, I’m just not sure what I would do if faced with that. I would never marry a guy with a bad temper in the first place. So hopefully he never does, so I don’t have to find out what I would do.

  32. Actress: Meghan Markle

    Boyfriend turned Fiance: Prince Harry

    Her Ex Who Slapped Her: Trevor Engelson

  35. Actress: Lea Michele

    Boyfriend/Fiance: That weird looking guy she’s with now

    Ex: the model ex boyfriend.

  36. This is Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

    I have had one man raise his hand to me. My exact words were “you better make it good, because it will be the last time you ever touch me.” (He didn’t hit me) If someone hit me, I’d be gone. Forever.

  39. Actress: The Duchess of Sussex

    Boyfriend turned Fiance: The Duke of Sussex

    Her Ex Who Slapped Her: ??

  40. Meghan Markle.
    Prince Harry.
    I guess Trevor is the only other public fiancé she’s had, although rumored that she had a college husband that was anulled.

  41. Meghan Markle and her dad Thomas Markle. Fiancé obviously Harry. Ex boyfriend Trevor. This makes a lot of sense.

    • If someone I was involved with slapped me, we would be done. That’s a line I won’t let anybody cross.

  42. Actress: Meghan Markle
    Boyfriend/Fiancé/husband:Prince Harry
    The ex:??ex husband or the chef

    I would leave them.

  47. Meghan Markle, Prince Harry, and I’m going to guess chef Cory Vitiello as the slappy guy.

    I was in an abusive relationship once. I started fighting back even though I always lost. I once broke my own finger hitting him back. So I know what I’d do: I would punch back or pick something up and clobber him.

  53. I know it says bf turned fiance and Prince Harry is now the bf turned fiance turned husband, but Megan Markle as TV actress? An article just came out that her father allegedly asked Harry not to ‘hurt’ her?

  55. Actress: Meghan Markle
    Boyfriend turned fiancé (now husband): Prince Harry
    Optional: no idea… 1st husband that was annulled, or 2nd husband she divorced, or one of her boyfriends? There are so many options to choose from….

  60. Meghan
    Harry
    1st husband

    Very sweet that her father is looking out for her safety. And yes, I would hit back…or kick him in the balls

  67. Actress: Meghan Markle?

    Boyfriend turned Fiance: now husband, Prince Harry?

    (Her father, Thomas Markle, stated that he made “Prince Harry promise never to ‘raise your hand’ against her before they could marry” per several news outlets.)

    Her Ex Who Slapped Her: Trevor Engelson? (He doesn’t seem like the type & MM reminds of the female version of my ex-husband, but that’s just a gut feeling as I don’t know them beyond what they show publically.)

    [Optional]Leave them…

  69. Actress: Meghan Markle
    Boyfriend / Fiance: Prince Harry
    Ex who Slapped: Ex-husband Trevor Engelson.
    Dad Markle just did an interview where he said he agreed to give Prince Harry permission to wed his daughter, providing he “never lifts a hand” against her.

  70. Actress: Meg Markle

    Boyfriend turned Fiance: Prince Harry

    Her Ex Who Slapped Her: Cory Vitiello

  71. Actress: Meghan Markle
    Boyfriend turned fiancé: Prince Harry
    Ex: Trevor Engelson

    I left my ex when he threw a remote control against a wall in a hotel. I knew after that hitting was next. I’m not the type to take it so one of us would have ended up in jail. Didn’t want to take a chance to see who. Did find out later that he assaulted an ex and was found guilty. Glad I listen to my instincts.

    [Optional] If someone struck you in anger, what would you do? Strike back/ walk away/ leave them permanently/ something else?

    Walk away.

  77. I’m pretty sure this is about Megan Markle, Prince Harry & Megan’s Dad.

    I heard that he told Harry that all he wanted was to know he’d never hit, or in any other way, hurt her.

  81. Actress: Meghan Markle
    Fiance: HRH Prince Harry (Now her husband
    Her Ex Who Slapped Her: Cory Vitiello

    Note: Markle’s dad gave an interview to Piers Morgan regarding this.

  82. This is Meghan the new Duchess of Sussex and Prince Harry. Don’t know her exes. Her dad just did an interview on morning tv in the UK that spilled some personal opinions from Harry to do with politics that is a complete no-no for the Royal Family. It was an awful bit of tv and no one looks good from it.

  84. Meghan Markle
    Prince Harry
    Her dad’s new cringe making TV interview claiming he told Harry never to raise his hand against Meghan when Harry asked him permission to marry his daughter. So many holes in this story knowing that Harry never even met his dad-in-law. And I am guessing Meghan has spun some tale about being physically abused by one of her exes. As a self proclaimed feminist and never once to miss an opportunity to be in the limelight, I am surprised she has never brought this up…

    • Abuse is difficult to talk about, many people find it shameful and weak and wouldn’t want anyone to see them that way. There are many people who have been abused, even feminists and haven’t said a word. Not everything is about gaining attention.

  89. I thought it was the oddest thing to say to a Prince! I wondered where it came from, thanks for that BG. Oh, Meghan and Harry, obviously.

  91. Asking someone if they intend to be abusive is redundant. Even a violent person wouldn’t confess to it. Anyway there’s never been any reason to think any member of the monarch physically abuses their spouse. Stab them in the back metaphorically, yes (according to the late Diana)….but not physically.

  92. Meghan Markle.

    I’d probably yell at him for doing it and how much it hurt/upset me. Then probably pack u p and leave. Maybe not if it happened only once. People can make mistakes and learn and not repeat an action. But definitely on the second go round.
