Ex-Deal or No Deal co-worker responds to Meghan Markle: ‘The show gave us a lot of opportunities’ | showbiz

Sixteen years ago, Meghan Markle made her debut in the “Deal or No Deal” series. In a new episode of the podcast “Originals” I talked about this period to Paris Hilton (41). they talk about beauty And the brains, but Megan feels mostly judged on the former. “I left this show because I was so much more than what was portrayed to me. I hated that it was just so focused on my appearance,” she says. My character had little substance. I felt like I was just becoming a bimbo.” Her comments caused quite an uproar, with former Deal or No Deal star Claudia Jordan feeling inclined to respond and defend host Howie Mandel.

Claudia responds to Megan’s comments on Instagram. “Just to be clear, yes, appearing on a game show isn’t necessarily about your intelligence. But for each show, the executive producers chose five models with the most fun and open-minded personalities to give them mics. They knew they were the ones who would get along well with the participants.” She continues, “And ‘deal or no deal’ has never treated us like a bimbo. This show gave us so many opportunities. I enjoyed the experience so much. It was a step up I delivered for 25 years, which paid all my bills, leading me to appear in many Shows, campaigns and magazines. Jordan even appeared as a co-host for the Miss Universe contest in 2009. Not bad for ‘Bimbo.’

Jordan does not see in her public statement a direct attack on the Duchess, quite the contrary. “I want to stress that I’m not attacking Megan. God knows I’ve defended this woman in the media for years and will continue to do so. But I don’t want any misunderstandings about working conditions on the set of ‘Deal or No Deal.’ I especially want to protect host Howie Mandel. , which was nothing but kindness and respect to all of us.”
