Meghan Markle’s ‘Suits’ co-stars give her ‘cold shoulder’ as she seeks their support in business ventures

MONTECITO, CALIFORNIA: Meghan Markle has been snubbed by her 'Suits' co-stars while she works to repair her damaged reputation.

The 42-year-old Duchess has reportedly been reaching out to her former co-workers but the outraged cast of the TV series is not in the mood to be duped into falling for her self-serving tactic, per Radar Online.

Meghan Markle's former 'Suits' co-stars not interested in boosting her faltering business

According to insiders, Meghan Markle's former 'Suits' co-actors have no desire to support her faltering business. Sources added that Meghan is "stunned" by her former castmates' treatment of her as they continue giving her the "cold shoulder".

An insider from the courtroom drama commented, "There are a lot of hurt feelings. People feel like they were just tossed aside when Meghan became a royal."

"Now she's reaching out expecting stars to guest on her podcast and support her new business ventures — and is stunned to get the cold shoulder," the source added.

The USA Network series that starred Meghan as Rachel Zane debuted almost a decade and a half ago. She performed the role until her marriage to Prince Harry in 2018.

Reliable sources revealed that Meghan's fellow cast members on the popular USA Network series recalled her diva persona from nearly the moment she was cast as Rachel Zane.

The Duchess of Sussex is allegedly considering interviews with cast members to increase interest in her future Lemonada Media podcast.

However, an insider revealed that most of her former co-stars are serving her "eye rolls" for her self-serving strategy.

"It's all very well for Meghan to expect support when she needs it, but a lot of people think she's got a lot of nerve to be asking for any sort of help from her old co-stars," the source remarked.

"She refused to take part in their recent reunion and has shown no interest in staying in touch with the majority of them. She wouldn't even join their WhatsApp group."

The source added that Meghan still has some supporters from the hit show. "Meanwhile, Meghan still has some supporters in the cast, like Patrick J Adams, who played her love interest Mike Ross, and Abigail Spencer," they said.

"But apparently the majority of the 'Suits' troupe is pretty turned off by how she's treated them are are not ready to just jump to her command."

The insider claimed, "Some of them may give her a dose of her own medicine and totally ignore her, or just not have any interest and even tell her to get lost."

Meghan Markle reportedly parted ways with 'Suits' co-stars following her marriage to Prince Harry

The 42-year-old Duchess did not show up when the entire cast of 'Suits' came together at the Golden Globes in January this year to receive the award for Outstanding Drama Series.

To make matters worse, Meghan's longtime friend Gina Torres, 55, who co-starred with her as legal eagle Jessica Pearson, and even went to her 2018 wedding, previously acknowledged that she and the other 'Suits' cast members "don't have Meghan's number."

Torres stated on the red carpet in January, "We don’t have her number. We just don’t," per OK! Magazine.

Following Meghan's estrangement from her former 'Suits' co-stars, the insider revealed, "So for her to now come asking for them to appear on her podcast and help promote her products is pretty tone-deaf, to say the least."

"She's going to need to explain herself and do some serious damage control if she's going to have any chance of wooing them back to her side because there are a lot of hurt feelings."

"They all still talk regularly and of course they're aware of the buzz about her now wanting them to appear on her podcast or plug her American Riviera Orchard home products," the source added.

However, the insider added, "Most of them agree she needs to learn some humility and remember where she came from and not just expect help when it benefits her."

After its eventual conclusion, 'Suits' had a sharp spike in popularity in 2023 because of its Netflix streaming debut.

Despite Meghan's lack of public appearances with the 'Suits' cast members, she was thrilled to learn about the show's revival following its addition to Netflix's library.
