Meghan Markle’s onscreen dad is coming to her defense!
Wendell Pierce, who played Robert Zane, the father of her character Rachel Zane on Suits, took to X (Twitter) on Thursday to slam a royal commentator and journalist after she accused the Duchess of Sussex of being “difficult” and “rude” on the set of the legal drama amid the reports of her acting return.
In case you haven’t heard, Meghan is reportedly coming back to the big screen after an eight-year hiatus following her departure from Suits in 2017 amid her engagement to Prince Harry. She was spotted on the set of the upcoming Amazon MGM Studios film Close Personal Friends, which stars Brie Larson, Lily Collins, Jack Quaid, and Henry Golding, in Pasadena, California, this week. An insider told People Meg is playing herself in the movie, adding:
“Meghan was on the set today. She has a small part. She seemed very relaxed and happy. She introduced herself to everyone and was very sweet and down-to-earth.”

Wow! A studio source added to The US Sun:
“This is a massive moment for Meghan and signifies a return to doing what she truly loves. She has been swamped with offers but this one felt right. It is Meghan’s way of gently putting her toe back in the water and seeing how she enjoys being back on set. Everyone involved is super-excited, and have been sworn to secrecy about her involvement.”
The cat is out of the bag now! Although everyone involved in the project is excited, there are, of course, those who are not and want to rain on her parade. A social media user shared a part of the above quote and criticized her, writing:
“A source…..Meghan then. I thought her passion was white labelling jam? This woman has had more career attempts than Brooklyn Beckham.”
That sparked royal commentator Angela Levin to respond with some accusations! She claimed Meghan was “difficult, demanding and rude” on the set of Suits:
“Meghan won’t love being told what to do by any producer. Suits actors found her ‘difficult, demanding and rude’ and she was only a starter then.”
This is not the first time we’ve heard someone call the actress “difficult.” We mean, her nickname was literally “Duchess Difficult” at one point. But here is where Wendell comes in. According to the actor, Meghan has never been “difficult” — at least not on the set of Suits! He defended her in Angela’s comments section, writing:
“You have no idea what you are talking about. @angelalevin1 . You are a gossip monger looking to profit off of smearing a woman you know nothing about. Meghan was a kind, giving, and talented artist who I enjoyed working with for years. You Angela are a shameless hack.”
Damn! Wendell then noted he is upset at himself for letting Angela get under his skin and will focus on what really matters moving forward — his friendship with Meg:
“I’m more mad at myself for allowing you to get under my skin. I’ll focus this anger on the friendship that Meghan and I have and the fond memories I have from working on SUITS. Her grace is something you know nothing about.”
Whoa! Wendell told her! Ch-ch-check out the post (below):
You have no idea what you are talking about. @angelalevin1 . You are a gossip monger looking to profit off of smearing a woman you know nothing about. Meghan was a kind, giving, and talented artist who I enjoyed working with for years. You Angela are a shameless hack. I’m more…
