The podcast video of Brooke Shields criticizing Meghan Markle has been taken down just a week after it was shared.
Shields joined King Charles' goddaughter India Hicks on her podcast earlier this month and called out the Duchess of Sussex for her earlier comments. Now, the video is no longer available on Hicks’ website.
The Mother of the Bride actress' criticism came after she joined Meghan for a SXSW in March 2024. The panel was titled Breaking Barriers, Shaping Narratives: How Women Lead On and Off the Screen.
Shields recalled how the mom-of-two recalled writing a letter to counter gender inequality in households at the tender age of 11.
“Katie asks the first question to Meghan and she talks about how at a young age, she was already advocating for women," Shields said, per The Independent.
“She starts telling a story about how when she was 11 – and she keeps saying, ‘Well, when I was 11, I saw this commercial and they were talking about how washing dishes was for women," Shields continued. "And she said, ‘I didn’t think only women wash dishes. It wasn’t fair. So I wrote to the company.' "
Brooke Shields added, “She kept saying she was 11! She wrote to the company, they changed the text, they changed the commercial. It was just too precious, and I was like, they’re not going to want to sit here for 45 minutes and listen to anybody be precious or serious."
