Goldberg continued her remarks by stating, “We’re not journalists; we’re actors. You decided to leave, and that was entirely within your right. But I feel some regret because I don’t believe that people were truly viewing these women in the way you describe. I think they were more focused on the financial aspects.

That’s the nature of television, my dear. So what exactly did you expect? You must have known what the show was all about.”

Despite her criticisms of the show, Markle expressed gratitude for the experience, explaining that she was seeking a role that was more aligned with her educational background and her prior experience gained through her internship at the U.S. Embassy in Argentina.

On Wednesday’s episode of ‘The View,’ Goldberg seemed to take issue with Markle’s comments about feeling “objectified” during her short stint on the game show. Specifically, Markle had shared with Paris Hilton on the ‘Archetypes’ podcast that she left the show because she felt her role reduced her to merely being a hostess.

Goldberg responded by suggesting that the sense of objectification might stem from Markle’s own perceptions of how women were portrayed on the show, rather than the show’s intent. Goldberg emphasized that as performers, accepting a role comes with the territory, and it’s important to adjust one’s perspective accordingly.

Goldberg pointed out that iconic figures in the industry, like Vanna White, have managed to maintain their professionalism while continually evolving their on-screen personas. She suggested that it’s essential for performers to adapt and understand that their roles are part of the broader entertainment landscape.
