Meghan Markle’s Meltdown: A Suits Spinoff Drama Unfolds
In a surprising turn of events, Meghan Markle, the former actress turned royal and now Netflix producer, reportedly lost her cool after discovering she was excluded from the upcoming “Suits” spinoff.
The Duchess of Sussex allegedly stormed into the USA Network headquarters, confronting the show's creator, Aaron Korsh, in a heated outburst over her absence from the project.
“Suits,” the legal drama that catapulted Markle to fame, concluded its run in 2019 after nine successful seasons.
She departed from the series in 2018 to marry Prince Harry and embrace her royal duties.
However, the couple's decision to step back from their royal roles in 2020 shocked many, as they relocated to California and embarked on new ventures, including a lucrative Netflix deal to produce various content.
Markle had high hopes of being involved in “Suits Law,” a fresh spinoff that will introduce a new cast and setting while retaining the essence of the original series.
NBC has confirmed the project, which will be penned by Korsh himself.
Yet, he has made it abundantly clear that none of the previous characters, including Markle's beloved Rachel Zane, will return for this new chapter.
Upon learning of her exclusion, sources reveal that Markle was furious.
She felt entitled to a role in the spinoff, believing her popularity and recognition as one of the show's standout stars warranted her inclusion.
Adding fuel to the fire, Markle thought her Netflix deal should have afforded her some leverage, especially since “Suits” is currently streaming on the platform and attracting a new audience.
In a dramatic move, Markle decided to confront Korsh directly.
Unannounced, she showed up at the USA Network offices where Korsh was meeting with executives.
Witnesses say she burst into the room, unleashing a barrage of accusations against Korsh, claiming he was ungrateful and disrespectful, and even suggesting he was jealous of her success.
Markle asserted that she played a pivotal role in the show's rise to fame, insisting that the spinoff would falter without her involvement.
Despite Korsh's attempts to calm her down, explaining that “Suits Law” was an entirely different concept with a new tone and direction, Markle remained unconvinced.
Korsh, taken aback by the unexpected confrontation, tried to articulate his vision for the new series.
He expressed his desire to create something fresh rather than recycle old characters.
However, Markle was undeterred, continuing her tirade and labeling Korsh a liar and a traitor.
In a further escalation, she disparaged the new cast members of “Suits Law,” dismissing them as unknowns and predicting that audiences would not tune in for their performances.
In a fit of rage, Markle even threatened legal action against Korsh and the network, claiming they were using her name and likeness without permission, and vowed to leverage her connections to undermine the spinoff.
The scene quickly attracted attention from staff and media alike, turning the confrontation into a spectacle.
Security eventually escorted Markle out of the building, leaving Korsh and the executives in a state of shock and embarrassment.
Public reaction to Markle's outburst has been largely critical, with many perceiving her as a spoiled diva.
Fans of “Suits” expressed their disappointment, feeling that her behavior tarnished the legacy of the show and the character of Rachel Zane.
