Earlier this week, the Duchess of Sussex claimed she quit her role as a briefcase girl on “Deal or No Deal” in 2006 because she felt “objectified” and was being “reduced to a bimbo” on the game show.
However, social media users accused Markle of being a “hypocrite” after a newly resurfaced video showed that the former actress played a similar role a few years after leaving the game show, Page Six reported.
Markle made a brief cameo in “90210,” which aired from 2008 to 2013, playing a character named Wendy, who was seemingly caught giving character Ethan Ward — played by Dustin Milligan — oral sex in a car.
In the resurfaced clip from the rebooted CW series, Ward looked shocked when his girlfriend spotted him sitting in his car, adjusting his pants as Wendy’s head popped up from his lap.
Some Twitter users called out Markle for taking on the NSFW role after slamming her stint on “Deal or No Deal.”
“Meghan Markle, YEARS after you left ‘Deal or No Deal for ‘being treated like a bimbo,’ you took on roles giving men BJ’s in cars in ‘90210’ [and] taking your top off to grill burgers in Men’s Health [and] had a ton of sex scenes in ‘Suits.’ You’ve objectified YOURSELF. You’re not a victim, girl,” one person tweeted.
“She’s a lying hypocrite!” another claimed.
“More and more people are seeing her for the hypocrite she is,” a third person wrote.
Others defended Markle, with one pointing out, “You people do know that what you see on a TV show is not real, right?”
“She must have done a good job if it blurs the lines for you,” another added.
