Meghan Markle recently confessed her admiration for Andy Cohen's Real Housewives television empire during a conversation on her now-defunct Spotify podcast, "Archetypes."
Reflecting on multiple encounters with Andy, Meghan disclosed that their paths had crossed several times. However, to her chagrin, Andy had no recollection of these meetings, leading to an awkward realization during their podcast chat.
As Andy settled in for the conversation, he cordially expressed, "It's nice to meet you," prompting Meghan to giggle with embarrassment as she divulged, "I met you before." Meghan recounted her initial meeting with Andy, predating her involvement in the cast of "Suits." Over the years, she had run into him multiple times in New York. Despite being a producer of "Vanderpump Rules," entering its 11th season, Andy appeared dumbfounded at his inability to remember Megan.
Intriguingly, Meghan shared her eagerness to appear on Andy's late-night talk show, "Watch What Happens Live," but her attempts to secure a booking proved futile. Andy, displaying a hint of distress, admitted to his team's missed opportunity, expressing, "We were like, I think she may be a Housewives fan, but even worse, I was like, oh my God, if it turns out that Meghan Markle actually expressed an interest to be on 'Watch What Happens Live,' it's now the biggest blunder in the 13 years of the show."
Seeking to pivot away from the awkwardness, Andy inquired if Meghan still followed the Housewives series. She revealed that her life's drama led her to cease watching, acknowledging the cultural impact but emphasizing a sense of detachment from the reality show world, especially while residing in California.
In an unexpected twist, Meghan Markle appears to suffer from what is humorously dubbed "missing memory syndrome." Prominent Hollywood A-listers, despite Megan's small roles in several movies, struggle to recall shared experiences with her. A leading psychologist reveals that many actors have experienced a peculiar phenomenon of significant portions of their past memories seemingly vanishing, raising concerns about potential mental decline.
This syndrome becomes more perplexing considering Megan's close working relationships and friendships that she often speaks about. The psychologist's approach involves asking affected individuals if they can recall seemingly insignificant figures. When the response indicates an inability to remember, the psychologist aptly points out that this is precisely why they don't recall Megan herself.
Delving into Meghan Markle's Hollywood journey, it appears she remained relatively unknown until her connection with Prince Harry thrust her into the limelight. Before that, she was merely one of many aspiring actors, and her role in "Suits" hadn't garnered significant attention in the United States. Moreover, her endorsement of certain reality shows, criticized for artificiality and subpar production, raises questions about her cultural sensibilities.
This perspective suggests a potential disconnect from reality, hinting that perhaps Andy Cohen, if asked today, might privately admit that, in hindsight, he didn't miss out on much during that time, and his producers made the right call back then.
