We got so many opportunities because of that show.” In a second post she continued, “And Deal or No Deal never treated us like bimbos. “Flor clarity - yes getting a modeling gig on a game show isn’t necessarily about your intellect but every show the executive producers picked five models with the most outgoing and fun personalities to place mics on who they knew would engage with the contestants,” Jordan shared on her Instagram Stories. Claudia Jordan (who was also on RHOA) posted this on her IG Stories:Ĭlaudia Jordan, former star of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, is opening up about her own experience on the Deal or No Deal set after Meghan Markle claimed they treated her like a bimbo. Anyway, one of Meghan’s former Deal or No Deal coworkers decided to chime in. This part gave me a flashback to Gloria Steinem’s groundbreaking undercover journalism as a Playboy bunny, infamously called “A Bunny’s Tale.” It’s Meghan talking about what it was like to be an educated, intelligent woman who was being told by society that she was just a pretty face.
I didn’t like being forced to be all looks and little substance, and that’s how it felt for me at the time - being reduced to this specific archetype.” I would end up leaving with this pit in my stomach knowing that I was so much more than what was being objectified on the stage. And by the way, I was surrounded by smart women on that stage with me, but that wasn’t the focus of why we were there. The Duchess of Sussex said she eventually quit the show: “I was thankful for the job, but not for how it made me feel, which was not smart. She couldn’t properly pronounce my last name at the time and I knew who she was talking to because she’d go, ‘Markle, suck it in! Markle, suck it in!'” “When I look back at that time, I’ll never forget this one detail - because moments before we’d get on stage, there was a woman who ran the show and she’d be there backstage, and I can still hear her. It was solely about beauty - and not necessarily about brains,” Meghan said. “There was a very cookie-cutter idea of precisely what we should look like. The women were also given spray tan vouchers every week. The former Suits actress said that before tapings of the show, the models would line up for different stations: lashes, extensions, bra padding. But she did feel like she was just supposed to be a glossy bimbo with a briefcase: Meghan doesn’t slam the experience at all, and she acknowledges that the job got her into the SAG union, it paid her bills and got her union health insurance. Invariably, the reaction tends to be “how dare she speak about something that happened to her!” So it is this week, with Meghan’s Archetypes podcast, “Breaking Down the Bimbo with Paris Hilton.” At the beginning of the episode, Meghan spoke about her time as a Briefcase Girl on Deal or No Deal. It will never fail to amuse me to watch the reactions to the Duchess of Sussex speaking about her lived experiences.
