Meghan’s no fun
Another model from the show, Tameka Jacobs has not responded to Meghan’s remark about the show. And not so surprisingly, they’re not pleasant.
Reportedly, Meghan was just an alternate or stand-in on the show alongside Chrissy Teigen. Meaning, she would only appear on the screen if and when any other models were not present. According to Jacobs, the 41-year-old never socialised with any other models on the show. Jacobs told Newsweek:
She didn't click with us. She kept to herself, she always [did].
Comparing her with Chrissy, Jacobs added:
Chrissy was awesome. She was fun. She's always been fun. Lots of laughing, lots of just mischievous [behaviour]. I don't think Chrissy would ever say bad things about Deal or No Deal. Like I said, it was a great job.
We had fun, it paid us well. I couldn't imagine Chrissy saying, 'I wish I was never on that show.' If she weren't on the show, she wouldn't have met John [Legend].
She would show up a little bit [to party with us]. Like she would at least come out with us, and then everybody would trickle home. Chrissy was cool. She's hilarious. She likes to eat. She likes to cook. She stands up for herself. She's confident, she's all these things.
Meghan’s deal on the show
Jacobs also revealed that most of Meghan would just be ‘on the bench’ as an alternate. She claimed:
[Meghan] would be back there with scripts getting ready for an audition. So it was paid time for her to study her scripts. Like it was a perfect setup.
She was always very driven and wanted to ‘book something better and bigger.’ She eventually went on to the biggest thing of her acting career as Rachel Zane in the hit legal drama Suits.
