Meghan Markle quit Deal or No Deal after boss' four-word jibe made her feel like 'bimbo'

Meghan Markle has revealed she felt "objectified" during her stint as a briefcase girl on Deal or No Deal and recalled the four-word jibe that led to her quitting after being made to feel like a "bimbo".

It came during the sixth episode of her Spotify podcast Archetypes, in which she chats to TV star and heiress Paris Hilton about the labels "bimbo" and "dumb blonde". Before her chat with Paris, Meghan talks of her days working on the US edition of the hit TV show Deal or No Deal, where she appeared on its second season 16 years ago. And although she says she is grateful that the job helped give her a leg up in her acting career, she reveals that reason she quit the role as it did not make her feel smart and she had to look a certain way.
