Since then, she has been involved in various controversies, including her explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey, her feud with the royal family, and her lawsuit against British tabloids. While fans were hoping to see her join her Suits friends at the Golden Globes, disappointment and outrage ensued when Macht, who played Harvey Specter, made it clear during an interview with ET that he had no interest in working with her again.
In response to a question about the possibility of a Suits reboot or spin-off, Macht expressed openness to the idea but explicitly stated that it should not involve Markle. Adams added that it was in the early stages and being developed by the show's creator, Aaron Korsh. Macht interjected, emphasizing that Markle was not welcome in their reboot. He explained that she had chosen a different path, becoming a Duchess, and that her agenda didn't align with theirs. Macht further commented that Markle was too busy playing the victim and suing those who criticized her, asserting that she was no longer the person they knew and loved.
Macht's comments sparked a backlash on social media, with fans accusing him of jealousy, bitterness, and disrespect towards Markle's choices and achievements. Some pointed out her support for Macht and the rest of the cast at her wedding in 2018 and her fond expressions of her Suits experience in various interviews. However, Macht also found supporters praising him for being honest, brave, and standing up to Markle's alleged bullying and manipulation.
Markle has not responded to Macht's remarks, but a source close to her revealed to People that she was hurt and disappointed by his words. The source also mentioned Markle's hope to maintain a friendship with Macht and the rest of the cast. The Duchess of Sussex has no intention of returning to acting, focusing on her humanitarian work and family.
The Suits reboot or spin-off is still in development, with no official details announced. However, Macht's clear stance indicates that Markle's involvement seems unlikely, raising questions about its potential impact on the show's success and fan base.
