The news of his death was confirmed by the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner's Coroner's Office, attributing the cause to cardiovascular disease. Fondly remembered for his work on Netflix's "The Lincoln Lawyer," Justin's brilliant mind and biting wit will be sorely missed by friends and family.
Amidst the sorrow, there is also controversy surrounding Meghan Markle, who was part of the "Suits" cast during the same period when Justin Peacock was with the show. While the rest of the cast members are expressing their condolences and supporting the writer's memory, a source close to Gina Torres revealed that Meghan has chosen not to visit or pay tribute to the late screenwriter.
This refusal is seen by some as "biting the hand that feeds you," as Justin Peacock played a significant role in helping Meghan adjust to her life in Toronto when she joined the show. He guided her acting and helped her bring depth to her character, Rachel Zane. Despite these efforts, a section of the crew reportedly feels alienated from Meghan due to her lack of acknowledgment for Justin's passing.
"Suits" lasted until 2019, but Meghan's departure from the show took place in 2018, following her on-screen appearances as Rachel Zane. The show has found a new audience after its return to Netflix, garnering a massive 3.14 billion minutes of streaming time during one week in June and July. Despite its success, the recent controversy surrounding Meghan Markle and her actions has sparked discussions about her past departure from the show and the dynamics within the cast.
The loss of Justin Peacock has brought forth both grief and reflection, raising questions about professionalism and respect within the entertainment industry. As friends, family, and colleagues mourn the talented writer, the focus remains on honoring his memory and contributions to the world of entertainment.
