She didn’t have to rub those two nickels together at Sizzler’s salad bar," Thomas quipped.Related: Meghan Markle’s New Netflix Series Has Viewers Hitting ‘Rewind’ During One Scene: ‘Laughed Each Time’Thomas also said he “felt sorry and embarrassed for” Meghan, and clarified that he didn't have a problem with her dropping her maiden name for "Sussex" as the change gave him and sister Samantha, 60, a chance to “redeem” themselves from the name's “stained, tarnished” image.Unfortunately, Thomas isn't the only person to criticize his sister's lifestyle show. Earlier this week, fans on social media pointed out the similarities between With Love, Meghan, and Pamela Anderson's show, Pamela’s Cooking With Love."If you watch the trailer for Pamela’s new show, it’s a more authentic version of what Meghan was trying to achieve & it looks as though Meghan has copied everything!" wrote one X user, adding, "The trailers are so similar it’s freaky."Next: Meghan Markle Unveils the "One Thing" She Kept From Her Time on Suits
