Former Deal or No Deal Model Disputes Meghan Markle’s Claims of Objectification

Another former Deal or No Deal briefcase girl has spoken out against Meghan Markle's allegations of objectification and reduction to a bimbo while appearing on the NBC game show.

Patricia Carr, who starred in the popular series for its entire 2005-2009 on-air run, appeared in all 34 of the episodes that Meghan featured in.

She has now set the record straight in light of Meghan's recent comments, biting back at Meghan's claims that the models on the show had to undergo makeovers at different stations backstage.

During her podcast, which focused on the bimbo archetype, Meghan had claimed that there were different stations for having your lashes put on or your extensions put in or the padding done in your bra.

However, according to Patricia, no such station ever existed.

“There was no bra station,” Patricia insisted.

When asked whether Meghan's comments about being objectified and made to feel like a bimbo were familiar, the former Deal or No Deal model said that she never had that kind of negative experience, noting that she walked away from the game show with nothing but positive memories.

So much so that she even returned to the show as a briefcase girl for its reboot in 2018.

Meghan sparked a bitter backlash with her comments about Deal or No Deal.

Multiple high profile faces have come out to slam her comments, including TV hosts Whoopi Goldberg and Megyn Kelly.

Whoopi Goldberg shared confusion at Meghan's comments, talking about the subject with her fellow panelists on The View.

“On that show, you basically had a suitcase and they wanted to know is this the deal you want or is this not the deal you want?

I don't know that the people who are sitting there are thinking about you like that, they're thinking I want the money,” she continued.

Wheel of Fortune hostess Vahna White also weighed in, saying that the objectification might be coming from Meghan and how she 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 show,” she said.

As the roundtable continued, Whoopi concluded, “we're not journalists, we're actors,” she said.

“You left and that was your prerogative.

But I feel bad because I don't think people were looking at these girls like this, I think people wanted the money.”

Goldberg added later, “that's TV baby, but what did you think you were going to do?

You know that's what the show was.”

Meanwhile, former Fox News host Megyn also condemned Meghan's remarks, claiming that the former Suits star knew exactly what she was getting herself into when she signed on to the show.

“The laughable notion that she didn't know what she was getting herself into when she took the job, in which one's only mission is to look tan, wear false eyelashes and wear a skimpy shiny dress while opening a suitcase,” she said on a Sirius XM podcast.

“What she's trying to con us on now is whether she enjoyed it.

She loved every minute of it, she wanted to be objectified, she wanted the adulation, just like she still wants it to this day.”

It seems that Meghan's claims have been met with skepticism and opposition from those who worked alongside her on Deal or No Deal.
