Summary
- David Foster refutes claims of snubbing Meghan Markle at a gala.
- He states the video misrepresented a brief red carpet interaction.
- The event supported Canadian families needing organ transplants.
David Foster has issued a strong defense of his friend Meghan Markle, refuting claims that he snubbed her at a recent gala. The producer stated that a viral video misrepresented a moment on the red carpet, calling the media's interpretation a "hurtful lie" designed for "clickbait."
Foster explained that he had already greeted the Duke and Duchess of Sussex prior to the red carpet encounter. He emphasized their close friendship, noting that Meghan and his wife, Katharine McPhee, have known each other since childhood. Foster described the video's narrative as a simple misinterpretation of positioning for a photograph.
The event in question was a black-tie gala on August 7th in Victoria, Canada, celebrating 40 years of The David Foster Foundation. This organization provides financial assistance to Canadian families whose children need life-saving organ transplants. The gala successfully raised $14.5 million for the cause, with a follow-up concert held the next day.
