Whoopi Goldberg slams Meghan Markle for ‘making other women feel bad’ after Deal or No Deal comments

THE View’s Whoopi Goldberg has slammed Meghan Markle for comments she made over her time on Deal or No Deal, claiming that she made “other women feel bad.”

On a recent episode of her podcast, Markle reflected on her time on the show Deal or No Deal, saying that she was made to feel like a pretty thing rather than a person.

During Wednesday’s episode of The View that spoke about Markle’s admission, host Whoopi Goldberg had an adverse opinion.

“OK. I just wanna say that on that show, you had a suitcase, and they wanted to know, is this the deal you want, or this is not the deal you want,” Whoopi began.

“I don’t know that the people who are sitting there are thinking about you like that. They’re thinking: ‘I want the money.'”

Whoopi then went on to mention Vanna White, a woman who has spent 40 years presenting in beautiful dresses on Wheel of Fortune.

Whoopi continued: “The objectification might be coming from you and how you felt about how these women were being portrayed.

“That’s what you have to change because we’re performers. When you’re a performer, you take the gig … sometimes, you’re in a bozo suit, sometimes you got a big nose, and this is just the way it is.”

Co-host Joy Behar went on to question the casting practices of game shows.

“But Whoopi,” she said, “why is it that every game show has a guy running it … and some gorgeous woman turning letters or holding a box?”

The panel of hosts held Markle accountable for her decision to take the job, but also stood behind her decision to walk away from the gig if it made her feel bad.

“That’s a great point,” Whoopi said.

“My point is, if you see it and that’s how you feel, just maybe, you don’t want to make the other women feel bad because maybe they’re trying to make a living, too.”

Up for discussion was also the fact that Markle’s co-star on the show, Real Housewives of Atlanta’s Claudia Jordan, said that the show “never treated them like bimbos and instead helped provide so many opportunities.”

Her fellow Deal or No Deal star was quoted as saying: “No shade to Meghan, but I didn’t feel that way.”

Markle made the comments in the latest episode of her Spotify podcast, titled Breaking Down ‘The Bimbo’ with Paris Hilton.’

Recalling her time on the show, she said: “I would end up leaving with this pit in my stomach, knowing that I was so much more than what was being objectified on this stage.”

The Duchess of Sussex continued: “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.”
