Jessica Mulroney steps down from charity amid a 'white privilege' scandal

Jessica Mulroney has been forced to quit the charity she founded with her famous sister-in-law amid a “white privilege” scandal that also lost her friendship with Meghan Markle.

Mother of three children – which Canadian press reports have go into hiding – has resigned from The Shoebox Project after his comments were burdensome to influencer Sasha Exeter.

Jessica, who is married to Ben Mulroney, son of former Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, founded the charity, which distributed the $ 50 box to homeless or at-risk women, in 2011 with Caroline, Vanessa and Katy Mulroney.

Caroline has political aspirations as current Ontario Minister of Transportation and Minister for Francophone Affairs, and is married to financier Andrew Lapham, son of former Harper’s Bazaar editor Lewis Lapham.

Meanwhile, Vanessa is a former editor of Condé Nast who now runs her own fashion branding agency, Power of Prive, and Katy is a very strong financial analyst.

In a statement, the charity said: “Jessica Mulroney is a founding member of The Shoebox Project and she has dedicated herself to her years of growth and success, for which we are very grateful.

“In light of recent events, the charity supports Jessica’s decision to stay away from the Board of Directors.”

Nonetheless, the charity, which according to IRS records never made more than $ 50,000 in the US, still prominently displays Jessica’s name and photo on her website.

Last week, Sasha Exeter shared a series of messages in which Jessica allegedly threatened to sue her. The controversy quickly caused the Canadian stylist to be fired from his show on “Good Morning America” and his reality show “I do Redo.”

As Page Six reported on Wednesday, his friendship with Markle had been lost for some time because the Duchess of Sussex was becoming increasingly wary of using his royal connections in his work.

Sources told us the incident gave Markle the reason he needed to cut ties with Jessica.

Meanwhile, Elaine Lui, who co-hosted CTV “etalk” with Jessica’s husband, Ben, revealed that people are afraid the list is being compiled by people who support Exeter.

In a post on Lainey Gossip’s blogHe wrote that many people in the Canadian media had their own Mulroney story, but he had a “strong ally,” adding, “Many of us ‘liked’ Sasha Exeter’s post last week and we are pretty sure that Mulroneys is keeping track of them.

“On Wednesday night, when all of this came down, I can tell you with certainty that at least one email was sent from the Mulroney camp to someone who ‘liked’ Sasha’s rather threatening post.

“It’s an email that sends messages and this is the way messages are received and internalized: ‘You are on guard, so you have to think about who you are on.'”

Lui described the Duchess of Sussex as Jessica’s “super power”, adding that “he has direct relations with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.”

He writes: “The words on the road now are that Jessica is still watching people’s Instagram stories, paying attention to what people are saying, and people are nervous that she is taking names and making a list.

“It was also shared on a network of whispers that he told people who continued to be personally involved with him that ‘there are two sides to each story,’ indicating that he did not feel he was as wrong as he really was.”

Maestro de Braga is the first Portuguese in the National Symphony Orchestra of Cuba.

Maestro Filipe Cunha, Artistic Director of the Philharmonic Orchestra of Braga, has been invited to conduct the Cuban National Symphony Orchestra, as announced today.

According to a statement sent by O MINHO, “he will be the first Portuguese conductor to conduct this orchestra in its entire history.”

In addition to this orchestra, the maestro will also work with the Lyceo Mozarteum de la Habana Symphony Orchestra.

The concerts will take place on 4 and 12 March 2023 at the National Theater of Cuba in Havana.

In the words of the maestro, quoted in the statement, “these will be very beautiful concerts with difficult but very complex pieces” and therefore he feels “very motivated”.

From the very beginning, Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 2 will be performed by an Italian pianist (Luigi Borzillo), whom the maestro wants to bring to Portugal later this year. In the same concert, Mendelshon’s First Symphony will be performed.

Then, at the second concert, in the company of the Mexican clarinetist Angel Zedillo, he will perform the Louis Sfora Concerto No. 2. In this concert, the maestro also conducts Tchaikovsky’s Fifth Symphony.

“This is an international recognition of my work. An invitation that I accept with humility and great responsibility. I was surprised to learn that I would be the first Portuguese member of the Cuban National Symphony Orchestra. This is a very great honor,” the maestro said in a statement.

“I take with me the name of the city of Braga and Portugal with all the responsibility that goes with it, and I hope to do a good job there, leaving a good image and putting on great concerts. These will be very special concerts because, in addition to performing pieces that I love, especially Rachmaninov and Tchaikovsky, I will be directing two wonderful soloists who are also my friends. It will be very beautiful,” concludes Filipe Cunha.
