Meghan Markle Faces Backlash for Alleging She Was Forced to Get Spray Tans on Deal or No Deal
Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, has come under fire from royal fans after revealing that she was allegedly pressured into getting spray tans during her time on the popular game show Deal or No Deal.
Speaking on the podcast Archetypes, Meghan opened up about feeling objectified and treated like a “bimbo” while working on the show.
Her comments sparked a wave of criticism from supporters of the royal family, who shared pictures of Meghan at an award show where she appeared to be wearing bold outfits without any external pressure.
These images led many to question the authenticity of her claims.
In September, Meghan faced backlash once again for her appearance at the One Young World Summit.
Critics accused her of wearing layers of spray tan in an attempt to appear black.
Body language expert Jesus and Rikki Rosas took to Twitter to mock Meghan, jokingly asking how many layers of spray tan she preferred.
Others joined in the criticism, questioning Meghan's motives and her efforts to gain public approval.
One Twitter user went as far as suggesting that Meghan was nearing the point of wearing blackface, while another commented on the uneven and splotchy nature of self-tanner and its potential impact on expensive clothing.
Despite the controversy surrounding Meghan's statements, her latest podcast episode failed to make a significant impact in the United States.
“The Decoding of Crazy,” which currently sits at number 96 in the top 100, is the only episode featuring Meghan in the chart.
Body language expert Judy James analyzed Meghan's manner of speaking and her reactions during the podcast episode, particularly in relation to Paris Hilton.
James noted that Meghan seemed to seek sympathy by sharing her own experiences alongside those of other successful individuals.
She observed a moment in the episode where Meghan's voice broke, indicating her emotional state.
According to James, Meghan focused heavily on herself throughout the podcast, despite interviewing Paris Hilton.
Meghan's storytelling style, characterized by her vocal range, enunciation, and breathy techniques, emphasized the tragedy of being perceived solely for her beauty and feeling intellectually underestimated.
In contrast, Paris Hilton defined herself as kind, shy, and an Aquarius, embodying the archetype of a “girl's girl.”
Both women expressed nervousness about meeting each other, but Meghan adopted a compassionate tone, creating a safe space for Paris.
They both bonded over the shared experience of being unfairly judged based on their looks.
Meghan's recent appearance at Spotify's employee resource group, Women at Spotify, showcased her commitment to inclusivity and community building.
During her speech, she commended the bravery of Iranian protesters who have been demonstrating since the death of 22-year-old Masha Amini on September 16th.
While Meghan's revelations about her time on Deal or No Deal have sparked controversy, her podcast episode with Paris Hilton offers insight into her personal journey and her desire to connect with others who have faced similar challenges.
The Duchess continues to navigate the complexities of public life, sharing her experiences and championing causes close to her heart.
