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.
Page Six exclusively reported earlier this month that while Markle and her husband, Prince Harry, extended their Netflix partnership, their new contract is “much” less than their previous “$100 million deal” with the streaming company.
“It’s not much,” an insider told Page Six. “It’s no risk for Netflix but saves them both reputationally.”
Under the new deal, the couple will still have to run their ideas by Netflix. From there, the streaming service will decide whether it wants to obtain project rights to the duo’s pitches.
