The conversation around Meghan Markle<\/strong>\u2018s Oprah Winfrey<\/strong> interview is far from over. Fresh claims from a royal commentator have reignited scrutiny of the blockbuster 2021 special, years after it first aired. The allegations surfaced after Winfrey looked back on the interview in a recent Vanity Fair feature, where she revisited one of its most memorable exchanges. Although the commentator\u2019s remarks remain a matter of opinion, they have once again placed the interview at the center of public discussion.<\/p>\n Royal commentator Link Lauren made a series of allegations about Meghan Markle and Oprah Winfrey\u2019s relationship following the 2021 broadcast<\/a>. On Wednesday\u2019s episode of \u201cSpot On With Link Lauren,\u201d Lauren claimed Winfrey eventually realized she had been misled during the interview. \u201cI think she realized after the interview, she got played,\u201d he alleged. According to the commentator, the media mogul looked back on the conversation differently once it had aired.<\/p>\n Lauren then made stronger allegations about Markle\u2019s motives. He claimed the \u201cSuits\u201d alum used the interview to repair her public image during a period of heightened attention on social issues. He also accused Markle of using Winfrey\u2019s platform and credibility to influence public opinion. Calling her a \u201ccon artist,\u201d Lauren speculated the interview was part of a broader effort to \u201claunder her image.\u201d<\/p>\n In another moment of the episode, the commentator expanded on why he believes Winfrey may have had second thoughts. Lauren pointed to the interview\u2019s now-famous \u201csilent or silenced\u201d exchange. As per his account, that moment has taken on new significance following Winfrey\u2019s recent remarks. He argued that the host now appears to view the exchange more critically because of how it has been interpreted over the years.<\/p>\n The latest discussion follows Winfrey\u2019s interview with\u00a0Vanity Fair<\/a>, where she revisited several memorable moments from her career, including her conversation with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. During the interview, she explained the thinking behind the viral \u201csilent or silenced\u201d question.<\/p>\n Winfrey said it was meant to clarify whether Markle had chosen to remain quiet or had been prevented from speaking. According to the 72-year-old, the wording was simply intended to avoid confusion later.<\/p>\n The post Meghan Markle Labeled \u2018Con Artist\u2019 Over Oprah Winfrey Interview \u2014 Royal Commentator<\/a> appeared first on Reality Tea<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.aol.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The conversation around Meghan Markle\u2018s Oprah Winfrey interview is far from over.
