"Suits" Star Patrick J. Adams Apologizes for Posting Meghan Markle Pics During SAG-AFTRA Strike

Since all 9 seasons of Suits hit Netflix this summer, the USA Network series is having a bit of a renaissance. And one of the show’s leads—Patrick J. Adams—went down memory lane by sharing on-set pics with his new string of followers.

On September 26, the actor posted a photo dump including pics of his onscreen wife, Meghan Markle. According to Cosmopolitan UK, he captioned the post, “I miss my friends” alongside stunning black-and-white photos of Markle and their other costar Sarah Rafferty, who played Donna Paulsen on the beloved series.

The post has since been removed. Despite speculation that Adams deleted the pics because of security issues surrounding the royals, he actually took them down since they were published during the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike. The actor, who played Mike on the show, issued an apology on his Instagram Stories soon after.

“The last couple of days, I foolishly and thoughtlessly let a trip down Suits memory lane distract me from the very real and ongoing fight everyone in @sagafstra continues to wage in its effort to win our membership realistic 21st Century compensation and protections,” he wrote.

“It was an embarrassing oversight for which I’m incredibly sorry,” he continued. “So grateful to those who gently and swiftly course-corrected me here. And I look forward to continuing the fight in the days and weeks ahead.”

While those BTS Suits shots will be dearly missed, Patrick continues to fight the good fight during the actors’ strike, which is still going on as the Writers Guild of America’s strike comes to a close.
