Meghan Markle experienced an awkward exchange with a guest on Season 2 of her Netflix show, “With Love, Meghan,” when he bluntly let her know he wasn’t a fan of her show, “Suits.”
The Duchess of Sussex had mixologist Payman Bahmani-Bailey on her lifestyle show to teach her how to make different cocktails, and he shared that he actually used to be a lawyer in New York.
When Markle interjected and asked if he watched her legal drama “Suits,” he chuckled and replied, “No, no.”
“I don’t watch basic cable,” he continued, as Markle laughed.
Bahmani-Bailey further noted, “I like shows with curse words and stuff.”
Markle took the shade in stride, replying, “Great, I love it!”
Markle, 44, played Rachel Zane on USA Network’s “Suits” from 2011-2018. The show experienced a resurgence in popularity in 2023 when it was released on Netflix, becoming one of the streaming giant’s most-watched shows.
Although Season 2 of “With Love, Meghan” has received brutal reviews, the mother of two recently hit back at the haters. She surmised that people who criticize the show might actually like it.
“I think oftentimes, the negative voices are saying negative things, and then secretly going home and making single-skillet spaghetti? Possibly,” she quipped during her appearance on “The Circuit With Emily Chang.”
“And that’s all right. They’re trying to pay their bills, and that’s for them to sort out if they’re comfortable doing it at someone else’s detriment,” she added.
