Previous Legal Trouble

This is not the first time Thomas, Jr has been in legal trouble either. IN 2017, he was arrested for domestic violence after holding his girlfriend, Darlene Blount at gunpoint during a fight. His girlfriend ended up dropping the charges almost immediately.

Meghan does not talk to her half-siblings. They were out of the house by the time she was born. Thomas, Jr, and Samantha are Thomas, Sr. children from his first marriage.

In May, Thomas, Jr made headlines when he went to the media to blast his sister, Meghan for not inviting their father to her wedding. Meghan’s brother couldn’t understand why the Duchess decided to cut their dad out of her life.

Even after everything that has happened between Meghan and the Markle family, Thomas, Jr said he plans to invite Meghan and Prince Harry to his wedding in March. He feels it could be a fresh start for the family and could lead to a reunion.
