Mariah Carey recently called the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, a diva. On Tuesday’s episode of Meghan Markle’s Archetypes podcast, the Duchess of Sussex told a guest that she does not associate with a “diva persona,” but then Mariah Carey interrupted to point out that she does. She even went on to explain what makes her think that Meghan Markle is a “diva.”
Mariah Carey called Meghan Markle a “diva”
On Tuesday’s episode of Meghan Markle‘s Archetypes podcast, she explained to a guest that she does not associate with a diva persona, but then singer Mariah Carey interrupted her by saying, “You give us diva moments sometimes, Meghan. Don’t act like [you don’t].” The former actress then looked confused and asked, “What kind of diva moments did I give you?” to which the singer replied “visual[s].” She clarified that she “didn’t mean” anything by the comment and was “playing” with the Duchess of Sussex.
Meghan Markle later talked about her statement
After the interview, she talked about Mariah Carey’s “diva” remark,
“She must have felt my nervous laughter, and … she jumped right in to make sure I was crystal clear that when she said diva, she was talking about the way I dress, the posture, the clothing. She meant diva as a compliment, but I heard it as a dig. That moment, as she explained to me, she meant it as chic, as inspirational.”
She sounded relieved after the singer explained her motive behind the remark.
The former actress was “squirming in her chair”
The former actress later admitted that was “squirming in [her] chair in [a] quiet revolt” after hearing Mariah Carey’s statement. She was worried about what the singer may have heard about her,
“[The conversation] was all going swimmingly, really well, until that moment happened. It stopped me in my tracks. … My mind was just genuinely spinning on what nonsense she might have read or clicked on to make her say that. I just kept thinking in that moment: Is my girl crush coming to a quick demise? Does she actually not see me?”
She launched her podcast, Archetypes, earlier this month and fans can stream it on Spotify.
