How did Howie Mandel support Meghan Markle amidst the controversies?

While Markle received negative remarks for her comments about Deal or No Deal, one voice has come to her rescue. It might come as a huge surprise for the readers, but it was a host of the very show that came to her defense. We are talking about none other than Howie Mandel, who did not quite understand the “big hoopla” revolving around her podcast remarks.

The host further explained himself, stating that as he belonged to the same work environment, it was understandable on his part. He too was also present there just to tell them to open the briefcases, so he “felt like nothing.” It was for this reason that he moved ahead with his career to become a judge in America’s Got Talent.

For hours there were 26 women staring at me like a piece of meat,” remarked Howie in an interview justifying why it was fulfilling to leave the show. As for Meghan’s part, she too ended up quitting the job. She no longer appeared in the show and parted ways after feeling objectified. “I was thankful for the job but not how it made me feel, which was not smart”, said the Duchess.
