Megan Markle Accused of Flirting with Howie Mandel for a Role on Deal or No Deal

A recent video posted by Megan's ex-boyfriend, Corey Vitiello, has sparked controversy.

The video allegedly proves that Megan tried to flirt with Howie Mandel in order to get a role on the show Deal or No Deal.

While this information has not yet been confirmed, sources claim that Megan was fired from her job at Donda, rather than quitting.

Interestingly, Deal or No Deal is reportedly making a comeback after being axed by Channel 4 eight years ago.

The daytime show, which was hosted by Noel Edmonds, is set to be revamped by ITV bosses.

However, it seems unlikely that Edmonds will return as producers are looking to give the show a fresh feel.

Trending:

Megan Markle appeared as a briefcase girl on Deal or No Deal for 34 episodes between 2006 and 2007 as she tried to forge an acting career.

Speaking about her experience on her podcast Archetypes, she claimed that she quit the show because she felt objectified.

“I didn't like feeling 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, the word ‘bimbo,'” she added.

Howie Mandel, who used to host the show, empathized with Megan's comments.

“I've never really heard anybody complain, and I don't think that Megan is complaining,” the 66-year-old said.

“I think Megan just said she wanted to do more.

It wasn't fulfilling for her.

So I don't know why there is a big hoopla, except I have to say that me standing there with 26 women staring at me made me feel like a bimbo.”

Megan Markle's former Deal or No Deal co-star, Claudia Jordan, fired back at her claims that she was reduced to a bimbo on the game show and was only valued for her beauty and not her brains.

Jordan, who appeared alongside Megan on the NBC game show, posted a furious rant about the Duchess on Instagram, hitting out at claims she made about the show in the latest episode of her Archetypes podcast.

According to Revenge, Megan, Harry and the War Between the Windsors, Megan, then an actress on the USA Network drama Suits, in 2016 put into action a plan to befriend a group of well-connected Brits.

Among them were Harry's childhood friend Violet Von Westenholz, who was working as a publicist for Ralph Lauren.

Megan had been hired to wear the designers' clothing during the Wimbledon tennis tournament in the summer of 2016.

In a conversation with Westenholz at Wimbledon, author Tom Bauer writes, Megan persuaded the sensitive soul, Von Westenholz, to set her up on a blind date with the prince.

Her problems were familiar to all unknown, unmarried actors in their mid-thirties – fear of loneliness and personal and financial insecurity, Bauer writes.

Unsurprisingly, Megan was preoccupied by her own financial security and finding a husband.

Although Bauer writes that Megan's two-year romance with Vittiello, a Toronto-based chef, was in its last throes when she met Harry, they still shared a home together.

Currently living in Montecito, California, and Megan Markle reportedly might leave the A-list community and move to the Hope Branch neighborhood.

According to a paper, the couple has been looking for a new place because their current property no longer properly accommodates them.

In conclusion, while the allegations against Megan have not yet been confirmed, they have certainly caused a stir.

It remains to be seen whether she will address the situation publicly.

As for Deal or No Deal, fans of the show will be excited to see its return, albeit with a fresh feel and without Noel Edmonds as host.
