U.S. friends’ brazen blast at ‘The Firm’
MEGHAN’S friends leapt to her defence yesterday with public declarations of support in the final days before her interview with OprahWinfrey is broadcast.
One of her co-stars in the television drama Suits launched an extraordinary and blistering attack on the Royal Family.
Patrick Adams, who played Mike Ross in Suits, berated The Firm despite having enjoyed their hospitality at Harry and Meghan’s wedding in May 2018.
He said on Twitter: “It’s obscene that the Royal Family, whose newest member is currently growing inside of her, is promoting and amplifying accusations of ‘bullying’ against a woman who herself was basically forced to flee the UK in order to protect her family and her own mental health.
“IMO [in my opinion], this newest chapter and its timing is just another stunning example of the shamelessness of an institution that has outlived its relevance, is way overdrawn on credibility and apparently bankrupt of decency. Find someone else to admonish, berate and torment. My friend Meghan is way out of your league.”
Suits’ executive producer Jon Cowan said the “warm, kind, caring person” deserved the “benefit of the doubt”.
American writer Lindsay Jill Roth, who was Meghan’s maid of honour, said on Instagram: “Meg’s MO [modus operandi] has always been kindness; goodwill runs in her bones. I know this to be true after 22 years of very close friendship. I have seen first hand how she treats her friends and their families and her colleagues.”
Another friend posted a picture of herself with Meghan and Harry’s 22-month-old son Archie – then quickly took it down. But they said: “She is the friend who insists on always hearing the details of your life, your day, your kid’s life, your kid’s day, before hers.”
