Meghan Markle's Absurd "Diva" Moment From Her Mariah Carey Podcast, with Spencer Klavan

[Music] right now meghan markle we talked about her yesterday and i mentioned her um we mentioned her earlier she has got this podcast 25 million dollars she get paid from spotify to do this podcast and so her second first podcast was serena williams where megan talked about what a victim she's been her whole life she's a princess but she's a victim second episode is with mariah carey and mariah carey actually in a great moment spencer kind of turned the tables on megan and called her a diva which she is really and let me bring it to you what happened but i just feel like this is all hashtag part of the problem megan markle hashtag part of the problem here's soundbite one in which mariah turns the table and i think that's really important for people to remember that there might be this persona and yes the diva thing we can play into i i mean it's not something that i connect to but it's for you it's been a huge part of your diva moments sometimes megan moments don't act like you think it's it's also the visual it's the visual a lot of the usual because see that's that i associate it differently well i know but let's pretend that you didn't weren't so beautiful and didn't have the whole thing and didn't often have gorgeous ensembles you wouldn't get maybe get as much divas i i don't care i'm like when i can i'm gonna give you diva okay that was during the exchange because megan's whole thing in this podcast to make it about herself um and then she she comes back in her own closing remarks on her own podcast meghan markle having mused about the diva assertion and says the following it was all going swimmingly i mean really well until that moment happened which i don't know about you but it stopped me in my tracks when she called me a diva you couldn't see me obviously but i i started to sweat a little bit i started squirming in my chair and this quiet revolt like wait what no what with that how could you that's not true that's not why would you say that my mind genuinely was just spinning with what nonsense she must have read or clicked on to make her say that i just kept thinking in that moment was my girl crush coming to a quick demise does she actually not see me so she must have felt my nervous laughter and you all would have heard it too and she jumped right in to make sure i was crystal clear when she said diva she was talking about the way that i dress the posture the clothing the quote-unquote fabulousness as she sees it oh my god spencer i'm i'm gagging on the narcissism yesterday she compared herself to nelson mandela and now today we have to deal with this she can't understand why anybody would think she's a diva i mean let me count the ways as you know during the queen's jubilee she's making sure to put the window down so everyone can get her photograph right and she's always got to be wearing princess diana's jewelry and she's got to have just the right angle and photographer and she'll only deal with this certain stenographer press guy scoby whatever his name is she won't she sues every magazine or writes something negative about her she pulls the meanest comment about herself tries to blow it up into whatever victim she's been because she's only used to the good things being said about her i mean the fact that she didn't want to live in the in the royal cottage and the frogmore it wasn't good enough for her they had to redo it on the taxpayer dime she didn't all of it i could keep going and now to be like ugh thank god it was just about my appearance yeah thank god that i understand look at me this is the act of a person who would sit in windsor castle with elizabeth queen elizabeth a woman who once broke bread with winston churchill and complain about her mental health i mean it's like it's it's not a day spa it's one of the most ancient monarchies in europe like it's i mean look you know i i will say this when uh john adams when abigail adams died and uh john adams was left that survived her and when people would compliment him on the success of his son john quincy uh he reportedly had something that he would always say in response people say oh your son is so great you must be so proud and he would say my son had a mother and when i first read that i actually teared up a little bit i mean we've talked on this show about my dad and the close relationship that i have with him and you know i i like to joke but it's it's not really a joke like my mom is the best clavin she's like clavin deluxe and she's the only one of us who never does any media so you all just have to take my word for it but i you know when i hear people talking about uh womanhood in these ways or offering these you know role models to young girls telling them they have to be like meghan markle or like lizzo you know i always think you know i i too had a mother and it that it incenses me on those terms you know just to you know my mom stayed home with us uh she had a thriving career on either side of that she was a successful writer before we were born she continued to write a little bit but basically stayed home and then you know we were grown she took up her career and you talked very eloquently about the kind of you know you can have it all uh mentality this narrative that you can do it all at once and and i i've seen that too i think i think there's still a little bit of it going around but the irony is of course that if you'll just let go of these you know confected narratives these absolutely artificial narratives that were not designed by people who have your best interests at heart that were not cooked up so that you could thrive and flourish but so that somebody else could make money off of you just let go of that you know you actually can have an entire rich full life as a woman who you know raises children and has a career that's a very real thing it's just not in any way it doesn't look anything like this confection that they're serving you and that's why it you know gets me is to think about my own mother whom i do rise up and call blessed as as in as in proverbs you know and and to kind of uh i again i feel sorrowful for for the girls who are being offered this just really uh unhelpful image everyone's starting to go back to school right now right this week over the next couple of weeks and as that happens you have the chance to do some good by helping
