Patrick J. Adams, co-star of Meghan Markle on the TV show Suits, condemned the royal family as “obscene” and as the “racist and slanderous vitriol” of the media in a powerful series of tweets.
Meghan’s passionate defense of Adams came after it was announced that Buckingham Palace had initiated an investigation into the allegations of bullying made against former Duchess Palace officials a few days before the broadcast of Meghan’s much-hyped interview with Oprah Winfrey on CBS this Sunday night. In a statement, Meghan said the charges were part of a “calculated smear campaign”.
Adams said it was “OBSCENE that the Royal Family, whose youngest member is GROWING WITHIN HER, is promoting and amplifying accusations of ‘bullying’ against a woman who was basically forced to flee the UK to protect her family and herself mental health. .
“IMO, this latest chapter and its moment are just another striking example of the shamelessness of an institution that has survived its relevance, is very unreliable and apparently bankrupt in decency.
“Find someone to warn, scold and torment. My friend Meghan is out of your reach. “
Adams added: “I was sick to read the endless racist, defamatory and anti-click vitriol launched at you by all the media in the UK and the world, but I also knew that Meghan was stronger than people realized or understood and they would regret underestimating yours. “
Meghan “was an enthusiastic, kind, cooperative, generous, cheerful and supportive member of our television family,” said Adams. “She remained that person and colleague according to the accumulated fame, prestige and power.” He had seen “with astonishment” this “powerful woman with a deep sense of morality and a strong work ethic” to navigate life in recent years.
Adams was not alone in professing his devotion, as Meghan’s friends adopted social media, highlighting what they see as Meghan’s excellent qualities as a friend and person. Producer and author Lindsay Roth said that “MO has always been kind; goodwill runs in your bones. I know this is true after 22 years of close friendship. ”
Her makeup artist Daniel Martin wrote: “Because she is not self-centered, people can see the light in her. Because it does not boast of itself, it becomes a shining example. Because she does not glorify herself, she becomes a person of merit. Because she wants nothing from the world, the world cannot beat her. “
Their friends’ brilliant wills are in sharp contrast to the claims of Jason Knauf, Meghan and the former head of communications at Harry’s palace, who in an e-mail obtained by The times from London, said Meghan intimidated former employees, leaving some in tears and forcing others to quit their jobs.
Aides are reportedly “lining up” to testify in the now-announced bullying investigation at the palace – which in itself has drawn widespread criticism on social media, with many asking why there is no similar investigation into Prince Andrew, who has not yet cooperated with the FBI because of his friendship with the disgraced pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
In one of the first clips from the Sunday night documentary, filmed before the charges of bullying were made public, Meghan accused the palace of “perpetuating falsehoods” about her and her husband, Prince Harry.
