The TRUE story of Charlie's girlfriend (Morgana McNelis) & her family!!


Ever wondered what's behind all those stories and controversy surrounding Charlie's long-time girlfriend Morgana McNelis and her family? Well, I'm her brother, David, and my book "My Most-Wanted Mom: Raised by a Marijuana Smuggling Queen" tells the whole story...no BS, no fluff, just the hard facts. If you care about more than just idle gossip and speculation.....

Somebody should option this for a tv show. Hollywood actresses on the constant btch and moan about the lack of enthralling roles for older women. This would make a good script.

Charlie himself could be played by a door knob. A blond & attractive door knob!




PS: Everyone thinks your cousin is a major hottie and I also like her voice. Smart if she really discarded this embarrassment of a family of yours.

In fact, I am nearly finished with a screenplay of my book, and it will indeed provide a "juicy" role for a more "mature" actress.

Regarding my cousin Leighton "discarding" her (and my) embarrassing family...the ONLY version of events (story) ever told about our family has been the "fairy tale" told by Leighton's publicist, or someone else just as I'll informed. 90% false! Mostly made up nonsense with no factual basis. My mother (Leighton's aunt) was indeed a marijuana smuggler. But the facts of the public record to date are just people guessing. My book lays out the TRUE story, for better or worse. I'm sure Leighton herself is ignorant of much of it because she was so young.

This sounds interesting though I'm sure it wasn't exactly interesting to live through. I get that you're trying to get your story out there and like I said, this sounds interesting - but does Charlie know you're publishing this? What does he think about it? Although he's not related to you and has nothing to do with your mother, this isn't exactly the most positive association for him. His career is already in a weird place. Same with Leighton who seems to stay out of the public eye after getting married and having a child.

To be fair, I haven't really heard a fairy tale about Leighton's family. In fact, your sister has often been referred to as a criminal on these boards and people have pointed out she was arrested for selling weed near a school or something. Seems like there's some truth to the embarrassment that Blanc pointed out. I don't know man, this whole thing is weird to me. I am a little surprised that there isn't already a movie made about your mother - at the very least Lifetime should have done something. It's like a Lifetime movie in real life. But good luck with your book - you're entitled to getting your story out there!

Why should that matter? Who is he exactly? He knows the family he was married into. He is also not Tom Cruise. He is not a real celebrity of high caliber.

All he can do is to shut up and carry on.

It is not his place to meddle with this guy's life and memoirs just because he is married to his sister. If anything, I am sure he'll revel in the notoriety. He will enjoy the disenfranchised outlaw angle flung upon his name by association.

I appreciate and respect your reply. And while I am not a relative of Charlie, I appreciate the fact that he's stood up for my sister Morgana throughout her public disparagement that is truly short on facts. That is why I wrote my book "My Most-Wanted Mom .....," so much has been told in the media that is simply not true. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying my mom is some totally innocent shrinking violet. My book is a very intense and shocking true story of a complicated family within which Morgana, Leighton and myself were raised by parents that were indeed "modern day outlaws." I just feel that Morgana and Leighton, as well as myself for that matter, deserve to have the truth out there instead of a mass of speculation by people that probably would appreciate the truth but just haven't had the chance to know any better. My book just tells it like it happened, the good and the bad, and everything in between. After the truth is out, people are, of course, free to judge our family for themselves. By the way, I told my sister and everyone in my family about my book. I assume Charlie has been told by my sister. I continue to stand by and honor truth as a prime directive of life.
Sincerely, David Michael McNelis

For the love of life i do not see why someone would like to brag about that kind of family and making money out of such story speak volumes about the person who is dong so. Another reason i can see is trowing a pity party about hard childhood which must be seen as an excuse of how children life went on further on....again i see seeking fame and money here beacuse for years children were Ok with their life and din't feel the need to share it with the world.
As far as it goes about Charlies gf Morgana, she did received some heat last year but that had nothing to do with the fact who her mommy is or how hard was her childhood (she is not the first not the last girl with bad childhood memories) or with the fact that she dates Charlie Hunnam (who cares whom he is dating as long as he is doing his job good), and twisting it into it and now writing a book to defend her )or make excuses for all the wrongs she did and she did a lot) make it look that those people who last year talked about her being a lair,fraud and extremely manipulative attention seeker were right.
I just wish that if the book will come out, the only people who will deal with consequences will be only McNelis and not those whom they try to drag along or who on whose name they try to get some 5 minutes of fame.

I understand the whole of what happened and has not been said regarding any and all members of my family...from Leighton to Morgana to myself or my mom. Obviously, some people do NOT understand my motive for writing my book. I simply want at least one chronicle of the TRUTH out there, after all that has already been said. I didn't start all the fictitious crap that's been said. I didn't start any of this. But I'll be damned if I will just sit back and at least provide my honest first-hand truthful account. That is, and has been, my sole motivation. It's comparable to someone falsely accused... do you just meekly accept it or do you defend yourself with the truth? I feel sorry for those that lack the integrity or imagination to understand this basic precept of human rights and dignity.

reply

That I can understand I can't understand what Charlie Hunnam has to do with it! He wasn't there when your mother was arrested, he wasn't there when you grew up.
Using his thread and his name leaving bad taste in the mouth about your book and your intentions and leads to thinking about seeking fame bc he is a public person and an attempt to justify your sisters wrongs in grown up adult life (and toward his fans as well) as a result of hard childhood, which is nothing but a pity party. Sum it all.... not creditable picture.
