EXCLUSIVE: POPE’S BROTHER THIRSTY FOR FAME — “HE’S ONE STEP FROM DANCING WITH THE STARS,” SAYS INSIDER
If you thought Meghan Markle’s relatives were a handful, wait until you meet the Pope’s spotlight-chasing brother
#ShuterScoop has learned that the newly elected Pope Leo XIV may need divine patience — because his older brother, Louis Prevost, is already stealing the spotlight with a trail of vulgar Facebook rants, political hot takes, and a desire to land on Dancing With the Stars.
“He’s loving the attention,” a well-placed source tells #ShuterScoop. “The Vatican may be trying to keep things dignified, but Louis is out here acting like he just won a season of The Bachelor. He thinks he's the real star.”
Louis, 73, who lives in Port Charlotte, Florida, has already raised eyebrows by sharing a shocking social media post referring to Rep. Nancy Pelosi as a “drunk c—,” along with other incendiary content, including calls for Democrats to be arrested for “treason” and memes mocking the LGBTQ+ community and mental health.
“This isn’t exactly the image the Vatican had in mind,” the insider continues. “It’s giving reality show relative energy. If you thought Meghan Markle’s dad was bad, just wait.”
In another surprising turn, Louis is fielding media offers and even “joked” about joining Dancing With the Stars — but insiders say he wasn’t kidding.
“He thinks he’s charming and has a story to tell,” says a Florida neighbor who spoke on condition of anonymity. “He keeps saying, ‘If they want a real American family, they’ve got one now.’ It’s bizarre.”
Meanwhile, Pope Leo XIV — born Robert Francis Prevost — has remained silent about his brother’s antics, but Vatican insiders say the newly elected pontiff is “deeply uncomfortable” with his sibling’s sudden fame.
“Let’s just say there’s no training for how to deal with a brother like that,” a church official sighs. “There’s no section in the catechism on handling a relative with a Facebook addiction.”
With the world watching the first American pope’s every move, Louis Prevost’s online behavior may soon become a holy headache for the Holy See.
#ShuterScoop — where even the Pope’s relatives can’t resist a little sinning for the spotlight.
