Brooke Shields Criticizes Meghan Markle in Podcast Conversation with King Charles' Godchild, Episode Gets Removed
Copping Flak: Brooke Shields' Squashed Interview With India Hicks Sparks a Stir
— Chatterbox —
Whew! Remember that heated podcast interview between Brooke Shields and India Hicks where the actress took a swipe at Meghan Markle? Well, guess what? It's gone! Yep, you heard right. A week after it hit the internet, that juicy convo vanished without a trace. What happened, you ask? Here's the skinny!
In a casual chat on India's podcast, An Unexpected Journey, Brooke got candid about her thoughts on Meghan. You see, the two ladies shared the stage on a panel together back in March 2024, titled "Breaking Barriers, Shaping Narratives: How Women Lead On and Off the Screen." While Meghan busied herself talking about her journey advocating for women's rights, Brooke, ever the joker, decided to lighten the mood.
"I just had to interrupt that whole seriousness," says the New York-born beauty. "I was like, 'Hey, by the way, at 11, I was playing a prostitute.' And the room went nuts!"
But Brooke's joke didn't strike the same funny bone with everyone. The episode has since been deleted, with the link leading to a "page not found" message on India's official website.
So, what gave? Well, some say it's because India's chief connection to the royal family - King Charles himself - got her podcast yanked. Others speculate that Brooke's remarks about Meghan (perceived by some as snide and catty) stirred up too much controversy. Despite the vanishing act of the interview, it's hard not to notice the buzz it's generated online.
Remember Meghan's tale about writing a letter to Procter & Gamble at age 11 to protest a sexist soap commercial? That's part of what Brooke referenced in her joke. Fast forward to today, and Meghan's relentless activism and unwavering dedication to women's rights continue to make headlines.
But the Pretty Baby actress doesn't seem to be slowing down. These days, she's in bed with organizations like Smart Works, eager to help women make a comeback in the workforce. Go, Brooke!
