Meghan Markle's half brother, Thomas Jr recently got arrested for violent altercation with his girlfriend Darlene Blount while he was in a drunken state. The arrest, moreover, did not just do harm on Blount but also to the actress' reputation as Prince Harry's future wife.

Though Meghan and Thomas have drifted apart through these years but the media is still keen on relating Thomas' recent arrest to the Suits actress. And it has created a domino effect as this, in turn, would not surely make the Queen of England happy considering the glaring headlines and gossip about the Royal family.

Actually, according to Celebrity Laundry, the 35-year-old actress has lost contact even with her father in recent years. Her half-sister Samantha also spoke ill about her last November saying that the actress is a "self-serving social climber and snob" who refused to give them financial help. As for Thomas' arrest, his younger brother Bobby Lucero said that the perpetrator is not in his best state in life and is "just laying low." Thomas is also said to have felt sorry with what happened, Daily Mail reported.

Thomas Jr was arrested at 11pm on Thursday when his argument with his girlfriend took a violent turn as it ended up with him grabbing a gun and aiming it to Blount's head demanding her to leave. Blount took refuge in the confines of the bathroom until her drunken boyfriend got arrested.  After the incident, she ended her relationship with her boyfriend once and for all and is currently staying with her parents.

Thomas Jr's ex-wife Tracy talk to the news expressing hopes that the incident would not embarrass Meghan Markle. She further confirmed rumors that Meghan and Thomas Jr used to be close and that he never intended to hurt her.
