Simon Rex Reveals the Heartfelt Way Meghan Markle Thanked Him After Shutting Down Potential Tabloid Story

And Simon isn’t the only star to have publicly defended Meghan from mistreatment in the tabloids. When the Duchess of Sussex was accused of bullying royal staffers in a Times article last March, several of her former colleagues spoke out to stand up for her.

“It sickened me to read the endless racist, slanderous, clickbaiting vitriol spewed in her direction from all manner of media across the UK and the world,” her Suits co-star Patrick J. Adams tweeted at the time, “but I also knew that Meghan was stronger than people realized or understood and they would regret underestimating her.”

Likewise, Suits writer Jon Cowan had nothing but praise for Meghan. ”It’s also possible the Duchess of Sussex is a good person thrust into an unimaginable world,” he wrote on Twitter. “Having spent 3 years working with her in her pre-Duchess days, I saw a warm, kind, caring person.”
