'RHOA' Alum Claudia Jordan Refutes Meghan Markle's 'Bimbo' Claims

Former alum of "Real Housewives of Atlanta", Claudia Jordan just shut down Meghan Markle's recent revelations about being treated like a bimbo on the set of 'Deal or No Deal.'

Jordan spoke out via her Instagram stories where respectfully disagreed with Markle, calling the appearance on the show an opportunity that opened many doors for her. She was also especially protective of Howie Mandel, and all praise for him although she did say that she was not out to get Markle.

“For clarity — yes getting a modeling gig on a game show isn’t necessarily about your intellect but every show the executive producers picked five models with the most outgoing and fun personalities to place mics on who they knew would engage with the contestants,” Jordan said on her Instagram Stories, after first posting a 'Now Meghan' post.

She continued, "And 'Deal or No Deal' never treated us like bimbos. We got so many opportunities because of that show. That’s the kind of opportunity that is what you make it. If you just show up and don’t engage then you’ll just get your check and not get much out of it but if you show up and seize your moments then there are no limits to what you can do with the opportunity."

Of course, Jordan was sure to mention all the opportunities she got.

Jordan also mentioned that she enjoyed her "experience working on 'Deal or No Deal'" as it was a good opportunity in her career and also helped her pay “all her bills.”

Meanwhile, Markle also echoed similar thoughts, as she spoke about her time on the show on the NBC game show on the most recent episode of her "Archetypes" podcast, saying, "My experience on the show, which included holding said briefcase on stage, alongside 25 other women doing the same. It was for me, fascinating. I had studied acting in college at Northwestern University, and like a lot of the other women standing on stage with me, acting was what I was pursuing. So while 'Deal or No Deal' wasn’t about acting, I was still really grateful as an auditioning actress to have a job that could pay my bills."

Meanwhile, Jordan also clarified that her response was not an "attack on Meghan cause Lord knows I’ve been defending this woman in the media for years and I still will but I just didn’t want any misunderstanding about the climate and environment on the 'Deal or No Deal' set." She also continued saying she was "especially protective of Howie Mandel who was nothing but kind and respectful to all 26 of us."

This still did not stop an irate Instagram user from lashing out at her, on behalf of Meghan Markle, saying, "Congratulations clout chaser, your stupid unnecessary comments have now been used to bash Meghan on UK shows. Congratulations I hope you make the best of your 15mins."

Also this, "You Want a cuddle and money from republicans so bad you know there are haters who will cheer you for shi* talking about Meghan."

Markle also did not quite trash the show but did speak about the perfect pretty girl assembly where the "Briefcase Girls" were made ready, almost like fembots. "All the girls, we would line up and there were different stations for having your lashes put on or your extensions put in or the padding in your bra. We were even given spray tan vouchers each week because there was a very cookie-cutter idea of precisely what we should look like."

While she did appreciate the show for the earning opportunity it provided her, she had a problem with the fact that it was all about looks and no substance as she mentioned, “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. 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.”
