In a recent episode of Meghan Markle’s podcast, Archetypes, the Duchess of Sussex found herself in hot water yet again.
This time, her guest, Mariah Carey, wasn’t having any of it.
Known for her diva persona, Mariah wasn’t about to let Meghan’s subtle insults slide.
During the podcast, Mariah paid Meghan a compliment, referring to her as a diva.
However, Meghan quickly rejected the label, claiming she is no diva.
Mariah, not one to back down, told Meghan to stop playing and acknowledged that she knows she’s a diva.
This unexpected turn left Meghan flustered and out of her element.
But Mariah didn’t stop there.
In a new interview with Gail King, a journalist for Mr and Mrs Markle’s podcast, she revealed her true feelings about the incident.
Mariah explained that she thought being called a diva meant being fabulous, not as an insult.
This has led royal experts and fans to believe that Mariah was throwing shade at Meghan.
One pundit even suggested that Mariah disowned her appearance on Meghan’s Spotify podcast due to this incident.
The singer supposedly educated Meghan on the stereotype behind the word diva during their interview.
It seems that Mariah’s comments caught Meghan off guard and may have caused some tension between the two.
Meanwhile, Meghan’s dislike of the word diva has been criticized by Hollywood diva Joanne Collins.
In a recent interview, Collins expressed her confusion over Meghan’s negative perception of the term.
As someone who has been labeled a diva for the characters she’s played, Collins sees it as a compliment.
Meghan, on the other hand, addressed the incident in the second episode of her solo podcast, Archetypes.
She admitted feeling taken aback when Mariah referred to her as a diva.
Meghan explained that she initially interpreted the term negatively, but Mariah clarified that she meant it as a compliment.
According to Meghan, Mariah saw diva as a representation of her fashion sense and fabulousness.
This clash of interpretations highlights the power of words and how they can be perceived differently by different individuals.
Meghan’s attempt to distance herself from the diva label may have backfired, leading to further speculation and controversy.
As the drama continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how Meghan will navigate future podcast episodes and handle potential clashes with her guests.
One thing is for sure, though: Mariah Carey isn’t one to be trifled with, and Meghan may have underestimated her ability to clap back.
