Markle was reportedly upset after learning that her character, Rachel Zane, would not be returning for the show's ninth and final season. Witnesses claim that Markle lost her temper when told that Korsh was unavailable and that she should schedule an appointment. Security footage shows Markle screaming obscenities and flipping over chairs in the lobby, prompting security to restrain her and escort her outside.
Markle continued her tirade in the parking lot, threatening Korsh and the entire USA Network, stating that she would "ruin" him and personally ensure the network's destruction. This behavior is particularly shocking given Markle's transition from TV actress to Duchess of Sussex after marrying Prince Harry in 2018.
Witnesses described Markle as being in an "absolute rage" and "genuinely unhinged" during the incident. The police were eventually called to escort her off the property for her own safety and to defuse the situation.
This outburst is surprising considering Markle's previously professional public image. However, being abruptly dropped from a show she had dedicated seven years to may have pushed her over the edge. While the full context of the situation is unknown, rumors of tensions between Markle and some of her "Suits" co-stars have persisted.
Threatening violence and property damage in such a public manner undermines Markle's credibility as a member of the royal family and could have serious professional implications. It also raises questions about the stresses Markle faces as a prominent public figure and the toll it may be taking on her mental health.
