Megan Markle’s Claims of Being Objectified as a Briefcase Model on Deal or No Deal Receive Backlash
Former actress Megan Markle, who is now the Duchess of Sussex, recently made headlines for her claims of being objectified as a “bimbo” while working as a briefcase model on the game show Deal or No Deal.
However, her claims have received backlash from critics and fellow briefcase models who deny her portrayal of the job.
Before her role as Rachel Zane on Suits, Markle worked as caseholder number 24 on Deal or No Deal, appearing in 34 episodes between 2006 and 2007.
In an interview with Paris Hilton, Markle claimed that she was objectified as a bimbo during her time on the show.
However, her claims have been met with skepticism and criticism.
There has been speculation that Markle’s motive for bringing up her experiences on the show is to get back at Howie Mandel, the host of Deal or No Deal.
It has also been revealed that Markle was fired from the show rather than quitting, as she had previously claimed.

Critics have accused Markle of being coyly vengeful and wanting revenge on those who did not give her what she wanted during her time in Hollywood as an actress.
Furthermore, many of the other briefcase models who stood out to production would have microphones on them, but it seems that Markle was not one of them.
She was only on the show for a short period of time, likely equivalent to only a couple of months’ work.
Critics have accused Markle of being a quitter and blaming others for her own decisions.
They have also pointed out that Markle only got into Hollywood because of her father and ex-husband Trevor.
Markle’s claims of being objectified as a bimbo have been met with criticism from other briefcase models who deny her portrayal of the job.
They have accused Markle of throwing mud at her past jobs and opportunities that brought her to where she is today.
Critics have also pointed out the hypocrisy in Markle’s claims, as she herself uses tanning spray, fake eyelashes, and undergoes plastic procedures.
According to Thonbauer’s book, Markle was allowed access to Hollywood parties through her job on Deal or No Deal, which allowed her to meet prominent people.
However, critics have still taken aim at her claims of being objectified as a briefcase model.
Royal biographer Angela Levin has stated that Markle did not have to take the job and could have said no.
She added that the fact that Markle chose to do it means she wanted it.
Critics have also pointed out that being praised for one’s looks is literally the job description for briefcase models on the show.
US commentator Kat Timpf has criticized Markle for speaking as if she had gone through serious trauma when she only opened a briefcase.
Timpf added that briefcase models are paid to look attractive and would have known that when they signed up for the job.
In conclusion, Markle’s claims of being objectified as a bimbo while working as a briefcase model on Deal or No Deal have received backlash from critics and fellow briefcase models.
Her portrayal of the job has been denied, and critics have accused her of throwing mud at her past jobs and opportunities.
While Markle’s claims have caused controversy, it remains to be seen if they will have any long-lasting impact on her public image.
