Meghan Markle’s Co-Star Apologizes After Posting Now-Deleted ‘Suits’ BTS Photos: ‘Embarrassing Oversight’
October 9, 2023 by Maria Pierides
Meghan Markle‘s Suits co-star Patrick J. Adams shared some behind-the-scenes pictures of the Duchess of Sussex (some of which were previously unseen!) on Instagram as part of a “trip down memory lane” at the end of last month – only to later delete them and apologize for posting them in the first place! But his reason for taking them down doesn’t seem to have anything to do with the royal family…
It seems like Adams, 42, broke SAG-AFTRA rules by posting the pictures of Markle, 42, and other Suits co-stars including Sarah Rafferty, Gabriel Macht, Rick Hoffman, Max Topplin and Gina Torres due to the strike against major TV and film studios which started in July. As per the LA Times: “Under strike rules, actors represented by the guild are prohibited from promoting any kind of work that falls under TV and film contracts. A SAG-AFTRA bulletin says promotion includes festival appearances, interviews and social media posts.” As Suits, which aired on the USA Network between 2011 and 2019, is a SAG-AFTRA signatory, the throwback post broke those rules, which Adams acknowledged on social media after he took the pictures down.
