“Meghan Markle and I spent most of a decade working on Suits together,” Adams, 39, prefaced the post. “From the first day she was an enthusiastic, kind, cooperative, generous, cheerful and supportive member of our television family. She remained that person and colleague as fame, prestige and power accumulated.”
“She has always been a powerful woman with a deep sense of morality and a fierce work ethic and has never been afraid to speak, be heard and defend herself and her loved ones,” said the actor continuous. “Like the rest of the world, I have watched her navigate the past few years with astonishment.”

The actor went on to describe how Markle’s life changed dramatically, affirming the difficulties the former American actress had to endure to acclimate to an “archaic” and “toxic” family dynamic.
“She fell in love, moved to a new country, became a household name all over the world and started the difficult job of trying to find her place in a family dynamic that can, at best, be described as complicated and , at worst, apparently archaic and toxic. “
So Adams lamented in his disdain for “racist, defamatory, click-bait” reporting that has accompanied Markle since her marriage to Prince Harry, 36.
“I was disgusted to read the endless racist, slanderous and anti-click vitriol spit 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 it. ” he said.

But we didn’t live on that planet and, instead, the hunt continued. . “
Adams then hit the royal family.

“IT IS OBSCENE that the Royal Family, which is the newest member currently GROWING WITHIN HER, is promoting and expanding accusations of” bullying “against a woman who was basically forced to flea [sic] the UK to protect his family and his own mental health, “he said.
He continued: “IMO, this newest chapter and its moment are just another striking example of the shamelessness of an institution that has survived its relevance, is totally lacking in credibility and apparently bankrupt in decency.”
Adams concluded his post with a resounding statement: “Find someone to admonish, rebuke and torment. My friend Meghan is out of your reach.”
Former “Suits” writer Jon Cowan also jumped in defense of Markle on Twitter, attacking a social media user who characterized Markle as a “horrible person” on Wednesday.
“It is also possible that the Duchess of Sussex is a good person launched into an unimaginable world,” replied Cowan. “Having spent 3 years working with her in her pre-Duchess days, I saw a warm, kind and caring person. I don’t know anything about her current situation, but she gets the benefit of the doubt in my book.”
