<p>Whew! Looks like Whoopi Goldberg isn&#8217;t here for Meghan Markle&#8217;s recent comments about her time on &#8216;Deal or No Deal.&#8217;</p>
<p>On Wednesday&#8217;s episode of &#8216;The View,&#8217; Goldberg seemingly took issue with Markle revealing that she felt &#8220;objectified&#8221; during her brief time on the game show. More specifically, Meghan sat down with Paris Hilton on the &#8216;Archetypes&#8217; podcast and stated that she eventually left the show because her role made her feel like a <a href="https://www.vanityfair.com/style/2022/10/meghan-markle-bimbo-deal-or-no-deal-paris-hilton-archetypes-podcast">&#8220;bimbo.&#8221;</a></p>
<p>Markle&#8217;s recollection of her experience didn&#8217;t seem to sit well with Oscar-winning actress Whoopi Goldberg, who referred to the gig as a performance.</p>
<blockquote><p>On that show, you basically had a suitcase and they wanted to know: &#8216;Is this the deal you want, or is this the deal you want?&#8217; I didn&#8217;t know that the people who are sitting there are thinking about you like that. They&#8217;re thinking, &#8216;<em>I want the money</em>.'&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Markle was an aspiring actress at the time that she agreed to being on the game show, which prompted Goldberg to discuss the expectations of performers and actresses in Hollywood.</p>
<blockquote><p><a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/jeopardy-and-wheel-of-fortune-to-tape-without-audiences-due-to-concerns-of-the-coronavirus/">[Wheel of Fortune</a> hostess] Vanna White is always in something interesting and beautiful, and she&#8217;s been doing this. The objectification might be coming from you and how you feel about how these women were being portrayed, and that&#8217;s what you have to change&#8211;because we&#8217;re performers. When you&#8217;re a performer, you take the gig.&#8221;</p></blockquote>

<p>Goldberg continued saying, &#8220;<em>We&#8217;re not journalists, we&#8217;re actors. You left, and that was your prerogative. But I feel bad because I don&#8217;t think people were looking at these girls like this, I think people wanted the money. That&#8217;s TV, baby. But, what did you think you were going to do? You know that&#8217;s what the show was.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>Despite her criticisms of the show, Markle noted that she was thankful for the experience and was looking for a job that better aligned with he substance that she had already gained from her college studies, and her internship at the U.S. Embassy in Argentina.</p>
<blockquote><p>I was thankful for the job, but not for how it made me feel, which was not smart. And by the way, I was surrounded by smart women on that stage with me, but that wasn&#8217;t the focus of why we were there. 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.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Since her time on &#8216;Deal or No Deal,&#8217; Meghan Markle landed her breakout acting role as Rachel Zane on &#8216;Suits.&#8217; She then announced her engagement to Prince Harry in 2017, and was officially named the Duchess Of Sussex after the two tied the knot in May 2018.</p>
