‘RHOA’ Alum Claudia Jordan Shuts Down Meghan Markle Claims ‘Deal Or No Deal’ Treated Models Like Bimbos – Deadline
Claudia Jordan, former star of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, is opening up about her own experience on the Deal or No Deal set after Meghan Markle claimed they treated her like a bimbo.
“Flor clarity — yes getting a modeling gig on a game show isn’t necessarily about your intellect but every show the executive producers picked five models with the most outgoing and fun personalities to place mics on who they knew would engage with the contestants,” Jordan shared on her Instagram Stories.
In a second post she continued, “And Deal or No Deal never treated us like bimbos. We got so many opportunities because of that show.”
“That’s the kind of opportunity that is what you make it. If you just show up and don’t engage then you’ll just get your check and not get much out of it but if you show up and seize your moments then there’s no limits to what you can do with the opportunity,” she added.
Jordan she enjoyed her “experience working on Deal or No Deal” as it was a good opportunity in her career and helped her pay “all her bills.”
She also clarified that her response was not an “attack on Meghan cause Lord knows I’ve been defending this woman in the media for years and I still will but I just didn’t want any misunderstanding about the climate and environment on the Deal or No Deal set.”
Jordan said she was “especially protective of Howie Mandel who was nothing but kind and respectful to all 26 of us.”
Markle opened up about her time on the NBC game show on the most recent episode of her Archetypes podcast.
“I was surrounded by smart women on that stage with me, but that wasn’t the focus of why we were there,” she said. “And I would end up leaving with this pit in my stomach, knowing that I was so much more than what was being objectified on the stage. I didn’t like feeling forced to be all looks and little substance. And that’s how it felt for me at the time, being reduced to this specific archetype.”

FFVII Remake Concept Art Showcases Cloud’s Mom Claudia
For Mother’s Day 2022, the Japanese FFVII Remake Twitter account decided to pay tribute to Cloud Strife’s mom Claudia with concept art and screenshots. In addition to the design document highlighting her design, there are a number of in-game glimpses at her. One of them even shows her appearance in the original game, which was a brief cameo and didn’t involve a closer look at her face.
First, here’s the concept art showing off how Claudia Strife would look. She’s wearing a simple pink dress and apron. The additional details show how it would look from the back and she would tie it.
Next are the FFVII Remake screenshots showing how that concept art are reflected in Cloud’s mom Claudia’s in-game look. While her full outfit isn’t shown from the front, we can see how her face resembles him and the hairstyle, as well as how the apron looks from the back.
Finally, there is the screenshot from FFVII showing Cloud’s mom and him in a flashback. While it isn’t as detailed, she still has a similar hairstyle and sort of outfit.
Square Enix often uses the Japanese account for the game to share concept art and compare them to in-game screenshots. For example, past updates looked at the boss Eligor and looked at the Wall Market Materia Shop.
Final Fantasy VII Remake is available for the PS4, while FFVII Remake Intergrade is out on the PS5 and PC.
‘Back to the Future’ star Claudia Wells on how faith helped her cope with tragedy: It’s ‘the reason I’m alive’
Claudia Wells skyrocketed to fame after playing the role of Marty McFly’s girlfriend Jennifer Parker in 1985’s “Back to the Future” – but then she seemingly disappeared from Hollywood.
The beloved classic, which starred Michael J. Fox, Christopher Lloyd and Lea Thompson, among others, told the tale of a high school student who is sent into the past with a time-traveling DeLorean invented by an eccentric scientist.
The film’s success resulted in a trilogy, but Wells reluctantly turned down the offer to reprise her role. Elisabeth Shue went on to replace her in “Back to the Future II” (1989) and “Back to the Future III” (1990).
At the time, Wells’ manager mother was dying of breast cancer, People magazine reported.

“I know she wanted me to continue doing the part and didn’t agree with my decision,” the now-55-year-old told Fox News. “But I was just not in a place emotionally where I could handle any more than what I was already handling. I wanted my mother to be supported and cared for. I left acting altogether, but I knew I would come back. I never felt it was over. I’m still waiting to come back. I still don’t feel like it’s over.”
Wells credited her Christian faith for helping her cope during a dark time in her life.
“It’s made all the difference in the world,” she explained. “I did a TV series starring Dean Jones when I was 15. And he used to talk to me about God, the Holy Spirit and Jesus being his savior all through the filming of the show. And then he and his wife took my mom and me to church every Sunday… I then went through so many different things in my life when my mom was dying of cancer. I believe God carried me through a lot of it.”
Wells admitted she was faced with her “own rebellion” in coping with her mother’s diagnosis. She said turning to her faith prevented her from going down a turbulent path in attempting to mask the pain she was feeling.

“I lived a lot of experiences I wouldn’t want people to go through but God brought me out of them all,” said the actress. “I feel like all of it was for a purpose so that one day, I can help others going through tough times.”
“But God is my everything,” she continued. “I can’t find happiness or peace without him. He is really, truly my only source of comfort and joy. Anytime I’ve turned my back to that, even during the darkest of times, I’ve lost that peace and joy. [My faith is] the reason I’m alive, without a shadow of a doubt. And because of God, I know that my mother is in heaven. She is her best self and she’s happy. She is out of pain and sadness.”
“My church family is my family,” she added.
According to Wells, the ailing matriarch passed away in October 1994. For nearly 30 years, Wells has run her men’s fine clothing store Armani Wells where she offers personal styling services. She said her role as shop owner has given her the opportunity to connect with others over the years as she healed.

“I tell all my customers and clients, ‘This is God’s store and I have the privilege of working here,’” she said. “The store has been completely fulfilling. I get to show men the dignity that they deserve. I want my customers to feel their very best and experience the quality of a fine suit that they can wear forever. I like dressing up people to show them how beautiful they are. I see beauty in all people. Sometimes people don’t realize their own beauty. So I get to show them just that through [clothes]. It gives me the same fulfillment as acting because it allows me to create a personal connection with someone. And I help them experience a sense of joy.”
But Wells hasn’t given up on acting for good. In fact, she would be open to starring in another “Back to the Future” film.
“I would not only consider it, but I’d raise my hand and say ‘Pretty please?’” she chuckled. “The answer is absolutely… I feel like I’m at a point in my life where I can play so many different roles that I didn’t have the firsthand knowledge to take on when I was 18, 19. I really do believe it’s still in my future.”
And Wells hasn’t forgotten the past.

Most recently, The Hollywood Museum went “Back to the Future” on Thursday when they re-opened to the public with their blockbuster exhibit honoring the film’s trilogy.
Founder and president Donelle Dadigan presented a $5,000 check to the Michael J. Fox Foundation, which is dedicated to finding a cure for Parkinson’s disease. Fox, who famously starred as McFly, launched the foundation in 2000 after publicly disclosing his 1991 diagnosis at age 29. A personal video from the 60-year-old was presented for the occasion.
Wells supported The Hollywood Museum and its new exhibition. She is also an ambassador for Kids in the Spotlight, a non-profit that teaches youth in foster care how to write, cast and star in their own short films.
“I’m so grateful for the life I have today,” said Wells. “My daddy is 96 years old. He and his wife have been married for 50 years. I’m my sister’s best friend. In fact, my sister’s name is Jennifer… And I’m eager for what the future holds.”
Claudia Conway Goes Hollywood, Surprises ‘American Idol’ Judges With Adele and Emotional Confession
Claudia Conway, like everyone else who auditioned on Sunday’s American Idol premiere, wants a golden ticket to Hollywood—but unlike most of her peers, everyone already knows who this teenager is.
Kellyanne and George Conway’s daughter first announced she’d auditioned for the singing competition series in November on TikTok, where she’s gained a massive following over the past year. Claudia’s social media presence has exposed strife within her family, especially between her and her mother, including allegations of abuse. Perhaps that’s why judge Katy Perry asked immediately upon Claudia’s arrival, “Are you okay?”
“No,” Claudia replied. “No but yes.”
When judge and country singer Luke Bryan asked what he was missing, Claudia replied, “My parents are high profile political figures. My mother is Kellyanne Conway. She worked for Trump. And my dad’s George Conway. He worked against Trump.”
“It’s a lot,” Claudia said. “But you know, I only want to spread love, and I love a compromise, and I do disagree with my mom and dad… I had to move to Washington, D.C. when I was 12 and I hated it. When your mom is working for the President of the United States, who you very much disagree with, it’s really hard.”
Claudia’s American Idol visit is a complicated proposition. Given the platform television has already begun to provide former Trump associates to start their rebrands, it seems more than fair to feel conflicted as Claudia takes center stage on ABC. While her association with her parents is not her fault, her presence on the show nonetheless also grants her mother a branding opportunity that reminds us all what got her there in the first place.
Although Katy Perry gets in a few gentle digs at Kellyanne Conway’s expense—like, by asking her daughter, “Does she still hug you?”—Conway also appears on screen as she and Claudia speak virtually ahead of the audition. And in this moment, she plays the warm, cuddly, doting mother.
“This is your time to shine,” Conway tells her daughter. “But remember, honey—winners are people who are willing to lose.”
It’s almost enough to make you forget the oft-worrisome conflicts Claudia has posted to her TikTok.
The Conways appear to be presenting a more united front these days. As People notes, Claudia said in a TikTok video last month of her relationship with her mother, “We fight like mothers and daughters, but we also love like mothers and daughters, and I do love her.”
During her American Idol audition Claudia added, “She loves me; I love her. I just feel like our relationship is a little iffy. Most of my life, my feelings have been suppressed. So then I got on social media, and I was like, ‘Well damn, now my voice is being heard.’ You know?”
George Conway, meanwhile, spent his daughter’s American Idol audition alternately beaming and crying.
Claudia, meanwhile, told the judges that by appearing on the show, she wants to “get out of the controversy, get out of the drama, get out of the politics… and let people know that I am a singer, and this is what I want to do.”
““You dad’s your dad, and your mom’s your mom,” Perry said. “Who is Claudia?””
The first song Claudia tried out on judges: “Love on the Brain” by Rihanna, which fell flat. But she had also prepared “When We Were Young” by Adele—which she sang only after Perry instructed her to sing it “like you lost your youth because you weren’t able to experience it on your own with all the noise.” Subtle!
“You dad’s your dad, and your mom’s your mom,” Perry said. “Who is Claudia?”
After Claudia’s second take, Luke Bryan said he thought her voice was limited due to her young age, and voted “No.” Perry and Lionel Ritchie, however, both voted “yes,” granting Claudia her shot.
“There’s a lot of noise in your life,” Perry told Claudia. “You have to calm the storm that is around you. Meaning, before you sing, you need to get off your phone. You need to stop reading your comments. Push it aside. Because if not, you may not ever rise above your dad or your mom. It’s your choice.”
Claudia Conway, 16, tells American Idol judges social media means her ‘voice is being heard’
Claudia Conway, 16, told American Idol judges social media has meant her ‘voice is being heard’ after she has been ‘suppressed’ for most of her life.
The 16-year-old daughter of former Donald Trump aide Kellyanne Conway and Lincoln Project cofounder George Conway is seen speaking out about her ‘hard’ upbringing during a new clip of her audition on the show.
Claudia will appear in the first episode of the series airing on Sunday 14 February on ABC.
Her appearance comes after the teen has shot to fame on TikTok over the last year, with over 1.7 million followers watching her blasting her parents’ politics and getting into fights with her mom.
Last month, police in New Jersey launched an investigation after Claudia accused her mom of posting a topless photo of her on Twitter before she later backtracked saying Conway wasn’t to blame.

The audition clip, shared by People, shows Claudia opening up to judges Katy Perry, Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan about how social media – and singing – had helped her get her voice heard.
‘I’m Claudia Conway. I’m 16,’ she says at the start of the clip.
‘My mother is Kellyanne Conway. She worked for Donald Trump. And my dad is George Conway. He’s a lawyer he worked against Donald Trump.’
The judges are all seen looking at each other and smiling with Richie saying ‘wow.’
‘It’s a lot, but I agree to disagree with my mom and my dad,’ Claudia tells them.
The TikTok star explains how it was ‘hard’ growing up with her mom working for Trump and said her ‘feelings had been suppressed’ before she joined social media and started posting about her own views.
‘When your mom is working for the President of the United States, who you very much disagree with, it’s hard,’ she continues.
‘Most of my life, my feelings had been suppressed so then I got social media and I was like, ‘Well, yeah. Now my voice is being heard,” she says.
Claudia adds that she now ‘want[s] to get out of the controversy’ and focus on her singing.

‘The internet can be a very, very dark place,’ she says.
‘But when life is all going downhill, I have my music. Now, I kinda want to get out of the controversy, get out of the drama and let people know that I am a singer and this is what I want to do.’
The clip also features a home video promo video filmed before the audition.
In it, Claudia speaks to the camera while climbing out of a window.
‘So you probably know me as 15-year-old emancipation girl or that blonde woman from Fox News’ daughter. I’m a little more than that,’ she says.
Claudia’s father George is also seen in the footage standing outside the audition room door and encouraging her before she took to the stage.
‘You’re going to do great,’ he says giving her a hug as she replies: ‘Thank you dad.’
Claudia’s appearance on the show comes after the teen has shot to fame on TikTok over the last year, with over 1.7 million followers
Claudia has repeatedly hit out at her mom’s conservative views and support of Trump
Meanwhile, Kellyanne has previously said she supports her daughter’s music career and saying she is ‘proud’ of her for ‘sharing her beautiful voice’.
‘Claudia and her siblings are taught to be independent self-starters and free thinkers who dream big and aim high. She sets goals and works toward them. Of course, American Idol is next level!’ she told People.
‘We are proud of Claudia for entering the arena and sharing her beautiful voice and inspirational message about mental health with others.’
A commercial for the show released Monday also featured the 16-year-old showing her telling the judges she was ‘very nervous, but very excited.’
It showed Claudia introducing herself to the judges as well as images of Kellyanne on a giant screen in the audition room and the teen sitting next to George.
Host Ryan Seacrest is heard asking aloud in a voice-over if Claudia would receive a Golden Ticket to Hollywood.
Perry tells Claudia: ‘We want an American idol.’
It is not clear if Claudia got through the audition stage of the contest.
American Idol will premiere Sunday on ABC and include Claudia’s audition.
Claudia first announced she would appear on the show back in November in a video on her TikTok account.
In January, police in New Jersey launched an investigation into a topless photo of Claudia that was posted to the former Trump aide’s Twitter. Pictured police at the Conway home
Claudia had accused her mother of leaking the image on Twitter’s newly launched Fleets feature, which deletes posts after 24 hours. The teen later walked back her comments and apologized (above) insisting in videos on TikTok that Kellyanne ‘would never intentionally do that’ and said her account was probably ‘hacked’
‘Hey guys, I’m here at American Idol confessional,’ she says in the video.
‘I met Ryan Seacrest today and I have my audition soon, so stay tuned for that.’
Claudia has repeatedly hit out at her mother for her conservative views and for her support of Trump.
Kellyanne was a close adviser to Trump and his third campaign manager during the 2016 race for the White House, helping him beat Hillary Clinton.
Meanwhile, George is vocally anti-Trump as a co-founder of the Lincoln Project, an anti-Trump Republican group which sought to stop him getting re-elected.
Kellyanne left the White House in August after months of public feuds with Claudia shared which the teen chronicled on her TikTok.
In one video, Claudia threatened to seek legal emancipation saying her mother’s job had ‘ruined her life’.

That’s right: Claudia Conway has apparently auditioned for the long-running singing competition’s 19th season, which airs on ABC on February 14 (aka Valentine’s Day).
According to ABC’s promo, it looks like Claudia’s father, attorney and outspoken Trump critic George Conway, will appear on the show as well.
…And so will Kellyanne.
Kellyanne, as previously reported, was recently under investigation for allegedly sharing nude photographs of her daughter on Twitter.

The news broke in November of last year that Claudia had auditioned for American Idol, so it looks like the audition — and Kellyanne’s appearance — took place before the recent investigation.

Claudia Conway’s “American Idol” audition to air in February
- Claudia Conway appeared in a commercial for the upcoming season of “American Idol.”
- The 16-year-old is the daughter of former White House adviser Kellyanne Conway and Lincoln Project founder George Conway.
- Claudia has amassed more than 1.7 million TikTok followers by sharing snippets of her life with her well-known parents.
- Visit Insider’s homepage for more stories.
Claudia Conway, the daughter of former White House advisor Kellyanne Conway, will perform on the upcoming season of “American Idol” according to a new commercial that aired during Monday night’s broadcast of “The Bachelor.”
The 16-year-old became a major social media presence last year when she began openly voicing her disdain for her mother’s employer and her conservative politics. Over the past year, Conway has offered often-strained snippets of her life with her parents.
In November, Conway shared that she was auditioning for the show via TikTok, and posted a lip-sync video with her father, George Conway, founder of the anti-Trump conservative group The Lincoln Project.
In her latest TikTok, she confirmed to her 1.7 million followers that her audition would air on Sunday, February 13 and “American Idol” confirmed to Insider that she would be a part of the season premiere.
“I know that half the world sees me as a joke because of my parents and whatever bulls—. I’m just a 16-year-old with passions, and you know, trying to figure out the future. This is a really good opportunity. A really f—ing cool opportunity that I went with immediately, because if “American Idol” reaches out to you, you don’t say no,” she said.
Earlier this year, Conway posted several TikToks that appeared to show her mother screaming at her and alleged that she’d suffered both physical and emotional abuse.
“I’m not looking to hate on my mom, I just think it’s important to tell my side of the story and my experience,” she said in a follow-up TikTok. “I was just going through some videos, I have hundreds and hundreds of videos just like that. I thought it was important because as a woman who has such power in this country I don’t think people know how she is.”

In late January, Kellyanne Conway was accused of sharing a nude photo of her daughter, taken from Claudia’s phone, which prompted New Jersey police to investigate, according to the New York Post.
Following the incident, Claudia posted a TikTok saying: “We’re going to handle this privately, and I will never ever be speaking about this publicly.”
