Howie Mandel defends Meghan Markle’s comments “Deal or No Deal”
Howie Mandel doesn’t understand why Meghan Markle faced so much criticism for saying she was reduced to “bimbo” during “Deal or No Deal.”
The former game show host defended the Duchess of Sussex, saying that she wasn’t attacking the show but rather expressing how she felt.
“I’ve never really heard anyone complaining and I don’t think Meghan would complain,” 66-year-old he told us every week in an article published on Thursday. “I think Meghan just said she wanted to do more. It was not satisfactory for her.
“So I don’t know why it is so much fun, except that I have to say that standing there with 26 women staring at me felt like a bimbo,” he added.
The TV personality – who previously revealed that he doesn’t remember Markle on a game show – said he could understand where the 41-year-old was from after having had similar feelings in the four years on the show.
“I understand it because – I never said it before – but they had this pyramid of 26 beautiful, intelligent women standing there and staring at me like I was a piece of meat,” he continued. “I was downtown, just wearing a suit, and I felt I was more than that. And they just looked at me and I didn’t have to do anything.
Although Mandel says he felt like “nothing” during the cult game show, he assured him that “it was a great working environment”.
Markle fell into the hot water earlier this month after she said in her “Archetypes” podcast that she missed a now defunct game show because she was “so much more than what was objectified on stage.”
“I didn’t like feeling forced to be all looks and little content, and that’s what I felt at the time when I was reduced to this specific archetype: the word” bimbo “, she said.
Following her controversial comments, social media users, former employees of the program and even Whoopi Goldberg spoke out against her claims.
The co-host of “Widok” rejected Markle’s claims that accepting a job seemingly below you is only part of show business.
When you’re a performer, you go to a concert, ”she said on a talk show. – You’re taking a concert. Sometimes you’re in a Bozo suit, sometimes you have a big nose, and that’s just the way it is.
