Meghan Markle had Paris Hilton on her podcast, “Archetypes” this week in an attempt, as she says, to humanize her. Which, I am sure, was a difficult task. Hilton has admitted to playing a persona most of her life for the public.
But Markle told Vanity Fair magazine she grew up judging Paris because
“I grew up as the smart one. So much of what I ended up thinking about, when I thought about Paris, was envy and judgment — two of the most dangerous things,” Markle explained.
She goes on to say that if you hear about the trauma Paris faced you can understand where she’s coming from. But I’m still wondering how Paris felt being low key referred to as ‘not smart’.
She goes on to say “I don’t care what situation you’re in — if a 16-year-old boy or girl, or a woman in the workplace, feels objectified or dehumanized because their character is misrepresented,” Markle added, “I hope everyone listening with an open mind could come away thinking, ‘Could I just actually consider for a second that there’s a person there?’”
Whatever.
