A dispute has broken out between Suits actor Wendell Pierce and royal biographer Angela Levin over allegations about Meghan Markle\u2019s behaviour during her time on the legal drama.<\/p>\n

Mr Pierce delivered a forceful response after Ms Levin suggested the Duchess of Sussex had been \u201cdifficult, demanding and rude\u201d while working on the series.<\/p>\n

Posting on social media platform X on Wednesday, the actor described Ms Levin as a \u201cshameless hack\u201d and \u201cgossip monger\u201d for making the claims.<\/p>\n

The disagreement emerged as the Duchess, 44, prepares for her first acting role in eight years.<\/p>\n

She has been cast in a new film featuring Lily Collins, Brie Larson and Jack Quaid, marking her return to the screen following her departure from acting when she joined the Royal Family.<\/p>\n

Ms Levin alleged that Meghan \u201cwon\u2019t love being told what to do by any producer\u201d in the upcoming project.<\/p>\n

She also claimed that during Meghan\u2019s time on Suits, fellow cast members had found her \u201cdifficult, demanding and rude\u201d despite being \u201conly a starter then\u201d.<\/p>\n

Mr Pierce rejected the claims, writing on X: \u201cYou have no idea what you are talking about.\u201d<\/p>\n

He accused the royal biographer of being \u201ca gossip monger looking to profit off of smearing a woman you know nothing about.\u201d<\/p>\n

He continued: \u201cYou Angela are a shameless hack. I’m more mad at myself for allowing you to get under my skin.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr Pierce defended Meghan\u2019s character and professionalism, saying: \u201ca kind, giving, and talented artist who I enjoyed working with for years.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added that he would focus on remembering their positive working relationship: \u201cHer grace is something you know nothing about.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meghan portrayed paralegal Rachel Zane across seven seasons of Suits, from the show\u2019s launch in 2011 until her exit in 2018.<\/p>\n

Her character became a central figure in the series, which followed a group of lawyers at a fictional New York law firm. She left the programme ahead of her wedding to Prince Harry in May 2018.<\/p>\n

The series continued for one additional season following her departure, concluding in 2019.<\/p>\n

Her upcoming film role marks a return to the entertainment industry after stepping back from acting to become a working member of the Royal Family.<\/p>\n

Before joining Suits, the Duchess had appeared in films including Horrible Bosses, Get Him To The Greek and Remember Me, alongside various small television roles.<\/p>\n

Mr Pierce\u2019s intervention reflects the strong loyalty held by many former Suits cast members, several of whom have spoken warmly about Meghan in recent years.<\/p>\n

The show\u2019s ensemble was known for its close-knit working dynamic, with castmates attending Meghan and Prince Harry\u2019s wedding in 2018.<\/p>\n

The dispute highlights the continued public and media scrutiny surrounding Meghan\u2019s professional and personal life, even after several years away from acting.<\/p>\n

Her new project has attracted significant attention as she re-enters the film industry while continuing to balance work linked to charitable initiatives and media production.<\/p>\n

Neither Meghan nor her representatives have responded publicly to Ms Levin\u2019s claims.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A dispute has broken out between Suits actor Wendell Pierce and royal biographer Angela Levin over allegations about…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":120661,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[458,146,85,46,2051,52388,52701],"class_list":["post-120660","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-meghan-markle","tag-royal","tag-sgg"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/120660","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=120660"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/120660\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/120661"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=120660"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=120660"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=120660"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
