Did Meghan Markle make up her latest allegations?

The Duchess of Sussex finally spoke up about her controversial "Deal or No Deal" role and why she left the game show.

Meghan said on her Spotify original podcast "Archetypes" that she was "forced to be all looks and little substance" while clutching a briefcase on the show.

The former "Suits" star deconstructed the "bimbo" cliche before reflecting on her own experience on the game show set in the eye-opening episode with guest Paris Hilton.

She stated that the girls on the program had a "very cookie cutter vision" of what they should look like, and that it was "solely about beauty and not necessarily about intellect."

The former Hollywood actress also addressed the show's poisonous beauty standards, stating that she was given spray tan vouchers on a weekly basis and was encouraged by a producer to "suck it in."

Meghan confessed, "I ended up quitting the show. Like I said, I was thankful for the job but not for how it made me feel, which was not smart."

She added, "I was surrounded by smart women on that stage with me. But that wasn't the focus of why we were there. And I would end up leaving with this pit in my stomach, knowing that I was so much more than what was being objectified on the stage."

However, another "Deal or No Deal" veteran has spoken out after the Duchess of Sussex said the program turned her to a "bimbo."

Claudia Jordan spoke her views on Tuesday, beginning with a series of texts with the phrase "Now Meghan..."

The TV presenter noted that landing a modeling role on the program isn't always about admiring women's intellect. Nonetheless, she said that the executive producers would select five models with the "most outgoing and engaging personalities" to place mics on and who they knew would interact with the participants on each episode.

Claudia continued to argue and emphasize the significance of having an effect on viewers, adding, "If you simply show there and don't participate - you'll JUST receive your check and not get anything out of it."

Claudia also said that her appearance on the show aided her rise to other major shows such as "Celebrity Apprentice" and presenting the "2009 Miss Universe" contest.

Claudia Jordan added that, while she has defended the Duchess of Sussex for years and will continue to do so, her goal in speaking out was to clear up any confusion about the climate and environment they had on set, especially since she is very protective of host Howie Mandel, who was "nothing but kind and respectful to all 26" of them.
