Meghan Markle spotted shopping in Montecito amid 'hypocritical' NSFW acting gig controversy
MONTECITO, CALIFORNIA: On Friday, October 21, the Duchess of Sussex, who was embroiled in numerous controversies, was spotted engaging in retail therapy. This comes after Meghan Markle who admitted to "being reduced to a bimbo" on the 'Deal or No Deal' game show was called out for being a hypocrite in light of the recently discovered explicit '90210' video. The 41-year-old former royal who was reportedly criticized for switching from one "bimbo" role to another was with a shopping buddy as they browsed through the gourmet food store Pierre Lafond in Montecito, California, for home furnishings. The two appeared to be having a lengthy conversation.
The $595 strapless green Malia Mills jumpsuit that Markle wore was accessorized with a wide-brimmed $128 Panama hat from Cuyana, sunglasses, and sandals. She also wore an olive sweater. She added a braid to finish the outfit. The friends continued on to nearby Santa Barbara for lunch, reports Page Six.

MEAWW recently reported that many people are interested in hearing what Meghan Markle has to say about the explicit part she had in '90210' after she admitted to being "reduced to a bimbo" when working as a suitcase girl on the game show 'Deal or No Deal'. Just two years after leaving 'Deal or No Deal,' Meghan Markle then 27 years old had a guest appearance in the remake of '90210' as Wendy, who is seen having oral sex with Dustin Milligan's character Ethan when the two are in his car.
Meghan claimed to have left the Howie Mandel-hosted 'Deal or No Deal' while conversing with Paris Hilton in a recent edition of her 'Archetypes' podcast titled 'Breaking down the Bimbo'. Hilton, 41, heard Markle say, "I ended up quitting because I was so much more than what was being objectified on the stage. 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." "I want our daughter to aspire to be slightly higher. Yeah, I want my Lili to want to be educated and want to be smart and to pride herself on those things," said the Duchess of Sussex, who featured in 'Deal or No Deal' between 2006 and 2007, calling it a "brief stint" to pay the bills.
Markle received backlash for her comments regarding the game show, particularly from other briefcase girls Claudia Jordan, who later appeared in 'Real Housewives of Atlanta', and model Donna Feldman. Even Whoopi Goldberg criticized Prince Harry's spouse, saying she was aware of what she was entering. “When you’re a performer, you take the gig,” the talk show host, 66, explained on Wednesday’s episode of 'The View'. She added, “You take the gig. Sometimes, you’re in a Bozo suit, sometimes you got a big nose, and this is just the way it is.” Goldberg continued, “We’re not journalists. We’re actors. We’re trying to get to another place," as reported by Daily Mail.
Claudia Jordan, a former cast member of 'Deal or No Deal' alongside Markle, refutes the claim, claiming that no one was treated like a bimbo and that producer instead focused on showcasing the models with the "most outgoing and fun personalities." Several other well-known people expressed their displeasure with Meghan's hypocrisy.
