"...what would Archetypes be without a long-winded soliloquy from Meghan about Meghan?" - Kara Kennedy, The Spectator. Talking over her guests, making the conversation all about herself, MM attempted to use this entire podcast to rewrite her own history and get even more of her own narrative out there in the world.
But when The Queen of Shade, Miss Mariah Carey, said that MM was also giving diva vibes, I almost fell off of my chair laughing at the scrambling MM was trying to do to deny it, even though the premise of the whole show was that having standards and asking for you what you want is a good thing, and that there was nothing wrong with being called a Diva. Here's a little snippet of what I'm talking about:
MC tells MM, "You give us diva moments sometimes Meghan."
MM laughs anxiously and responds, "I do? What kind of diva moments do I give you?"
MC then explains, "It's the visual!"
And MM says, "See that's the thing! I associate it differently."
MM clearly had a visceral reaction to MC, one of the greatest divas, calling her a diva. At the end of the episode, MM then speaks alone in a voiceover and recounts that moment for her listeners, and how uncomfortable that moment made her feel.
"It was all going swimmingly, I mean really well," MM gushes. "Until that moment happened, ..., (and) it stopped me in my tracks when she called me a diva! You couldn't see me, obviously, but I started to sweat a little bit. I started squirming in my chair in this quiet revolt, like, wait, wait, no, what? How? But? How could you? That's not true, that's not... Why would you say that? My mind genuinely was just spinning with what nonsense she must have read or clicked on to make her say that. I just kept thinking, in that moment, was my girl crush coming to a quick demise? Does she actually not see me?" (We all see you girl.) MM to try to deny the fact that she is, in fact, a diva!
BEST PART OF THE WHOLE SERIES! It should be Mariah Carey's podcast from now on. She has no problem with the truth. 💯
Two star review, and that's all down to Queen Mariah!
