The View co-host Joy Behar is hitting out against Meghan Markle’s haters amidst all the criticism surrounding her new Netflix show, With Love, Meghan.
Earlier this month, Meghan premiered her eight-episode series on the streaming platform, which saw her and a rolodex of her famous friends, like comedian Mindy Kaling, in the kitchen as they prepared elaborate recipes and even created home décor items.
And although it’s already been renewed for a second season, it certainly wasn’t a hit with everybody.
Ex-Vanity Fair editor Tina Brown slammed the series after it premiered, calling it a ‘show about fake perfection,’ while actress Justine Bateman even mocked the program on X.
But it looks like the Duchess has found some fans on The View, as co-host Joy fiercely defended the mother-of-two while they discussed Gwyneth Paltrow’s recent comments about her during the Hot Topics segment on Thursday.
While the Goop goddess was speaking to Vanity Fair recently, they asked her about Meghan’s new show and how she felt about the Duchess entering the lifestyle space, which she is a leader in.
In response, Gwyneth said that she supported all women, and that there was plenty of room at the table for everyone.
It was an answer that was approved by the ladies on The View.
‘There’s something about her that triggers people,’ Joy said on Thursday’s episode about Meghan, after Ana Navarro had remarked on the fact that Meghan had a big influence on culture.
‘Maybe because she’s a Duchess, and she married a prince, we all wanted to marry a prince,’ Joy continued.
‘So everyone’s jealous of her, is that it?’ she questioned, as her fellow co-hosts agreed that that ‘could be’ the reason for some of the hatred.
However, before they cut to commercial break, Joy joked that Ana wasn’t jealous of Meghan, to which she shook her head in agreement.
The discussion came just a few days after Netflix’s co-CEO Ted Sarandos broke his silence on Meghan’s future with the company.
Speaking to Variety, Ted said that the Duchess has been ‘underestimated’ by many.
He also admitted that Netflix has a stake in her lifestyle business As Ever, which sells the various products – from edible flowers to jams and tea – that are featured in her show.
‘We’re a passive partner in Meghan’s company, and it’s a big discovery model for us right now,’ he said.
‘I think Meghan is underestimated in terms of her influence on culture,’ he continued.
‘When we dropped the trailer for the Harry & Meghan doc series [in 2022], everything on-screen was dissected in the press for days.
‘The shoes she was wearing sold out all over the world. The Hermès blanket that was on the chair behind her sold out everywhere in the world. People are fascinated with Meghan Markle. She and Harry are overly dismissed.’
Netflix has already said that it will set aside space in two of their brand-new stores for Meghan’s As Ever products.
Some of her products include pancake mix, flower sprinkles and of course, raspberry spread.
The first of the As Ever stands will open in two of America’s biggest retail center, the King of Prussia Mall in Philadelphia and the giant Dallas Galleria.
