Read our privacy policy Meghan Markle’s former Suits co-star Patrick J Adams has defended her against allegations of bullying in a strongly worded Twitter thread. In a lengthy Twitter thread on Friday, Adams called Meghan an “enthusiastic, kind, cooperative, giving, joyful and supportive” person and spoke out against the allegations of bullying she has faced. She remained that person and colleague as fame, prestige and power accrued.” He said he has “watched navigate the last few years in astonishment”, adding: “She fell in love, moved to a new country, became a household name across the entire globe and began the difficult work of trying to find her place in a family dynamic that can at best be described as complicated and at worst, seemingly archaic and toxic.” Adams said he was “sickened” by “the endless racist, slanderous, clickbaiting vitriol spewed in her direction from all manner of media across the UK and the world”. He added: “It’s OBSCENE that the Royal Family, newest member is currently GROWING INSIDE OF HER, is promoting and amplifying accusations of ‘bullying’ against a woman who herself was basically forced to the UK in order protect her family and her own mental health.” The actor described “this newest chapter” as what he views as “just another stunning example of the shamelessness of a institution that has outlived its relevance, is way overdrawn on credibility and apparently bankrupt of decency.” Watch Apple TV+ free for 7 days New subscribers only.
