From the DM. Brooke Shields also got tired of hearing Meghan's Proctor & Gamble story for the thousandth time. She told the story to the royal adjacent India Hicks on her podcast.
Brooke Shields has revealed she interrupted Meghan Markle live on stage in front of thousands of people - because, she says, the Duchess of Sussex was being 'too precious' in her speech about gender equality.
When the discussion began, and the former Suits star, 43, started answering Katie's opening question, Brooke said the tone quickly became overly serious.
'Katie asks the first question to Meghan and talks about how at a young age, she was already advocating for women, etcetera, etcetera,' Brooke explained.
'[Meghan] starts telling a story about how when she was 11... And she keeps saying, well, when I was 11, I saw this commercial and they were talking about washing dishes and only soap for washing dishes was for women.
'And she said, 'I didn't think only women wash dishes. It wasn't fair. So I wrote to the company. And when I was 11, I wrote my first letter and when I was 11...' and she kept saying she was 11! She wrote to the company, they changed the text, they changed the commercial.'
At that point, Brooke said, she couldn't resist breaking the tension in the room - and the earnestness of Meghan's response.
'I go, "Excuse me, I'm so sorry. I've got to interrupt you there for one minute,"
'I was trying not to be rude, but I wanted to be funny because it was so serious.
'I just want to give everybody here a context as to how we're different,' Brooke told the audience. 'I said, 'Well, when I was 11, I was playing a prostitute.'
'The place went insane. And then luckily, it was more relaxed after that.'
Reflecting on the exchange, Brooke added: 'It was just too precious. And I was like, they're not going to want to sit here for 45 minutes and listen to anybody be precious or serious.'
