Meghan Markle is a woman who seemingly has everything—except the friendship of her former *Suits* co-stars. In a bold yet misguided attempt to reconnect with her past, Markle reached out to her former colleagues just as they launched their new podcast, *Sidebar*, back in 2018. Whispers began to circulate about Markle's ego getting a bit too inflated as she prepared for her fairy-tale wedding to Prince Harry. Her demeanor reportedly shifted from being a team player to that of the star of the show. Rumors suggest she was so unbearable that producers even considered writing her off. Can you imagine being so insufferable that even the *Suits* crew wanted you out?
Fast forward nearly a decade, and Meghan appears to be trying to recreate the camaraderie she left behind. However, rather than opting for a heartfelt reunion, she seems to have chosen the classic “let me send a press release” approach. Unfortunately for her, her former co-stars have shown little interest in rekindling past relationships.
The moment was made crystal clear at a recent Golden Globes red carpet event, where Markle's ex-colleagues, caught off guard by questions about her, revealed that they didn't even have her number. That’s akin to being left out of a high school friends' group chat. This awkward exchange exposed the gaping chasm between Markle and her former *Suits* mates, resulting in public humiliation that showcased feelings of betrayal and resentment towards her perceived arrogance. Those cherished memories of yesteryears seem to have faded under the harsh glare of Markle's rising fame.
But wait, there's more! As her former colleagues Patrick J. Adams and Sarah Rafferty launched their new podcast *Sidebar*, Markle's past and present clashed spectacularly. While they dove into their experiences on the show filled with laughter and nostalgia, Markle's attempts to join the conversation felt more like a desperate plea for relevance. Her own podcast deal, once touted as a major success, fizzled out after just 13 episodes. You’d think with millions behind her, she would have managed to produce more than that.
So while her former co-stars thrive in their new venture, Markle's outreach appears to be more of a sad attempt to join a reunion she is no longer part of. It’s not just about the podcast, though; the stark contrast between the success of her ex-colleagues and Markle's faltering career couldn't be more pronounced. As the *Suits* gang embarks on their new adventure, Markle's floundering efforts to get involved seem more comical than earnest.
Patrick J. Adams, the leading man in the sitcom, recently admitted that he and Markle are not exactly exchanging Christmas cards. When fans questioned him about their relationship post-*Suits*, he dropped the truth bomb: they’re not really in touch. But fear not! After hearing about Adams and Rafferty's podcast, Markle couldn’t resist reaching out with a lovely text wishing them luck. How sweet—if only it didn’t feel like a last-ditch effort to claw back into their good graces.
And here comes the pièce de résistance. When asked about Markle's potential guest appearance on the podcast, Sarah Rafferty shared that “everybody's invited,” but conveniently left Meghan’s name out. It’s like throwing a party and forgetting to send an invitation to the one person who might turn it into a scene from a reality show. This blatant snub raises the question: if they do invite her, will she show up with a laundry list of demands, or will she choose to ghost them entirely to avoid another public embarrassment?
All in all, Markle's bid to reconnect with her former *Suits* co-stars is nothing short of laughable. It serves as a reminder that while she may have traded her acting career for royal life, the ties that once bound her to her past seem more frayed than ever. As the *Suits* gang continues to thrive, Markle's attempts to get in on the action remain, at best, a clumsy and desperate dance at a party she no longer belongs to.
