Meghan Markle’s Alleged "Bond" with Howie Mandel Sparks Controversy
An explosive claim has taken center stage, involving Meghan Markle, Howie Mandel, and alleged drama behind the scenes of Deal or No Deal. The allegations, combined with recent critiques of Markle’s Hollywood career choices, paint a dramatic and complex picture of her rise to fame.
Rumors have surfaced that Meghan Markle’s stint as a briefcase model on Deal or No Deal ended due to her alleged closeness to host Howie Mandel. According to the claims, Terry Mandel, Howie’s wife, intervened, reportedly finding Markle’s behavior inappropriate.
One insider stated, "Terry is known for being friendly with the models, but she draws the line when boundaries are crossed. Meghan allegedly crossed that line, leading to her dismissal."
However, Howie Mandel himself has a different perspective. When questioned by Piers Morgan on his talk show, Mandel admitted:
“I have absolutely no memory of her. I didn’t know who Meghan Markle was until she started dating Prince Harry.”
This response casts doubt on the scandal, suggesting the story may have been exaggerated or entirely fabricated.
Meghan Markle Criticized for Hollywood “Bimbo” Roles
Beyond the Mandel drama, Markle has faced criticism for her comments about the "bimbo" roles she played early in her career, including her briefcase model stint. She has described these roles as shallow, demeaning, and focused solely on appearance.
Royal commentator Angela Levin criticized Markle’s remarks, calling them hypocritical:
“Meghan played these roles for years. No one forced her to take them. If she found them demeaning, why continue to accept them?”
Levin accused Markle of belittling young actresses who take such roles willingly and claimed she is attempting to rewrite her Hollywood narrative.
Meghan Markle and the Royal Family Rift
Adding to the tension, Meghan was notably absent from King Charles III’s coronation, leaving Prince Harry to attend the historic event solo. The couple’s son, Archie, celebrated his fourth birthday on the same day, which was cited as the reason for her absence.
Critics argue that Markle’s no-show was a misstep in supporting her husband:
“Marriage means attending your partner’s family events, even the boring ones. Meghan’s decision to skip the coronation reflects poorly on her commitment to the royal family.”
The optics of the event were striking—Prince Harry appeared isolated, raising questions about the state of his relationship with both his family and his wife.
Meghan Markle continues to attract polarizing opinions, whether it’s about her Hollywood past, her royal future, or her personal decisions. While some view her as a modern woman navigating complex societal pressures, others see her as self-serving and dismissive of tradition.
As the media continues to scrutinize her every move, Markle remains at the center of heated discussions about fame, loyalty, and ambition.
