Thomas, 58, called the series “bland” and “generic" in addition to slamming Meghan's “malarkey stories” about her childhood experiences.
According to Thomas, it “wasn’t the case” that Meghan “grew up watching cooking shows and grew up cooking all the time.” While her mother, Doria Ragland, "was a great cook," Meghan "didn't cook anything for anybody ever growing up," he said.
As for Meghan's claims that she grew up eating fast food such as Taco Bell and Jack in the Box, Thomas denied those, saying she ate at Musso & Frank Grill, Hamburger Hamlet and “lots of restaurants in Hollywood.”
He also disputed the idea that the Suits alum was "poor and underprivileged," calling her life "the complete opposite."
“We weren’t poor. She didn’t have to rub those two nickels together at Sizzler’s salad bar," Thomas quipped.

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."
