STRAIGHT, NO CHASER

Meghan Markle Painfully Shaded to Her Face by Netflix Guest

Things on “With Love, Meghan” took an awkward turn when the topic turned to the Duchess of Sussex’s old show, “Suits.”

Things took a turn for the painfully awkward in a season 2 episode of Meghan Markle’s With Love, Meghan when she mentioned her old show Suits. The Duchess of Sussex joined pilates guru and bestie Heather Dorak for a lesson in curated cocktail making with mixologist Payman Bahmani-Bailey in New York when the conversation turned to jobs. When Markle asked Bahmani-Bailey how he got into purveying wine and spirits, he said he used to be a lawyer in New York, Page Six reported. The mention of law prompted Markle to bring up Suits, in which she played paralegal-turned-attorney Rachel Zane over seven seasons. “No, no, I don’t watch basic cable,” Bahmani-Bailey responded. His answer made Markle, who was living in Toronto where the show was filmed when she met Prince Harry, let out a small chuckle. “I like shows with curse words and stuff,” Bahmani-Bailey added. To which Markle responded, “Great, I love it.” The second season of Markle’s show comes after its first season was critically panned by viewers as “boring” and “inauthentic.”
