Meghan Markle filmed 90210 'oral sex scene' after quitting Deal or No Deal 'bimbo' role

Meghan Markle has been called out for claiming she rejected 'bimbo roles' but two years later filmed a raunchy for teen drama 90120.

The clip, which has now gone viral on social media, resurfaced days after the Duchess explained during her podcast Archetypes that she quit Deal or No Deal because she hated being reduced to a "bimbo".

But, her comments have now been slammed as a resurfaced scene from 90210 was said to have been filmed after she claims to have begun rejecting bimbo roles.

The scene appears to portray the now 41-year-old's character as having performed oral sex on another character.

In the scene character Ethan, who is played by Dustin Milligan, is surprised when his girlfriend Annie, played by Shenae Grimes, spots him sitting in his car.

His expression is soon explained when he adjusts his clothing and the head of Wendy, played by Meghan, emerges from his lap.

Mirror has contacted Meghan's representatives for comment.

The clip has been resurfaced after the release of an episode of her Archetypes podcast, where the Duchess of Sussex talks about how Deal or No Deal – in which she was known as Briefcase No 24 – was projecting a 'cookie cutter' image of women which relied solely on 'beauty not brains'.

After 34 episodes of the NBC show — for which she was earning up to $28,000 (£25,000) a week — she walked out fed up with being forced to be 'all looks' and not much else.

Meghan said: "I was surrounded by smart women on that stage with me, but that wasn't the focus of why we were there and I would end up leaving with this pit in my stomach.

"Knowing that I was so much more than what was being objectified on the stage.

"I didn't like feeling forced to be all looks. And little substance.

"And that's how it felt for me at the time being reduced to this specific archetype, the word 'bimbo'."

But a Deal or No Deal co-star Lisa Gleave, a successful Australian model TV presenter and actress who is now living in LA, hit back at Meghan and said the show “never treated them like bimbos” and that it helped provide “so many opportunities” for them.

Gleave said to The Mail: “I never looked at it as a show that objectified women. The cast and crew treated us very well. It was a professional set. For many of us, it was a stepping stone on our careers and we went on to greater things.“
