Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, has been making headlines lately with the release of her new Netflix show, "With Love, Meghan," and her return to blogging via her "As Ever" website. However, her recent appearance on Drew Barrymore's talk show in New York has ignited a different kind of discussion, focusing on the perceived awkwardness of the interview and Drew Barrymore's hosting style.
A "Clingy" Encounter?
Viewers were quick to brand Drew Barrymore as "clingy" and accused her of not respecting personal boundaries during the interview with the Duchess. Barrymore has a reputation for overly affectionate greetings, often kneeling in front of guests and hugging them, which has led to uncomfortable moments for some viewers. This time, the spotlight was on her interaction with Meghan Markle.
One viewer commented, "It felt like Drew was trying too hard. Meghan seemed a bit uncomfortable." Others echoed this sentiment, noting that the dynamic between the two women appeared strained.
Meghan's Six-Word Jab
Adding fuel to the fire, reports suggest that Meghan Markle delivered a subtle, six-word jab aimed at Barrymore in response to her perceived "clingy" behavior. While the exact words haven't been widely publicized, sources indicate that the remark was a lighthearted but pointed commentary on Barrymore's overly affectionate approach. It has been interpreted as a sign that Markle also felt the interview was somewhat awkward.
Barrymore is infamous for her oleaginous behavior with her guests, kneeling in front of them and hugging them in exchanges that have viewers cringing.
Markle's Other Ventures
Aside from the talk show appearance, Meghan Markle has been busy with other projects. Her culinary program on a streaming platform continues to garner attention, although some have noted an "awkward atmosphere" between her and certain guests. Furthermore, she recently released a lengthy newsletter to subscribers of her new "As Ever" website. In the letter, Markle reflected on her personal growth over the years, coinciding with the release of "With Love, Meghan."
Whether the interview was genuinely awkward or simply perceived that way by viewers, it has certainly generated buzz around Meghan Markle and her latest projects. It's a reminder that even seemingly casual interactions can be subject to intense scrutiny in the public eye.
