In a recent appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers, Emmy-winning actress Hannah Waddingham, known for her role in the hit series Ted Lasso, dropped a bombshell about her encounter with Meghan Markle during their time on the set of Suits.
Currently promoting her new TV special, Home for Christmas, Waddingham didn’t hold back as she shared her experience with the Duchess of Sussex, and it’s nothing short of scandalous.
Back in 2015, Waddingham had a guest role as a lawyer on the popular show Suits.
According to her, the brief interaction she had with Meghan left her utterly appalled.
Describing Meghan as the “diva of divas,” Waddingham revealed that the Duchess treated everyone around her with contempt and disdain, displaying rude and arrogant behavior that would put the Grinch to shame.
“She was horrible, absolutely horrible,” Waddingham exclaimed, emphasizing Meghan’s snooty and snobbish attitude.
Despite being just a supporting character, Meghan acted as if she were the show’s superstar, never showing gratitude or manners towards others.
But the story doesn’t end there.
Waddingham went on to claim that Meghan specifically targeted her, attempting to sabotage her performance and crush her confidence.
Meghan allegedly mocked Waddingham’s accent, clothes, and appearance, making her feel belittled and humiliated.
Dirty looks and snide remarks became the norm.
“She was so mean to me.
It was unbelievable,” Waddingham lamented.
To add insult to injury, Meghan labeled Waddingham as boring and talentless, suggesting that she should give up acting and return to her supposedly dull musical theater career.
It was a low blow, to say the least.
Waddingham further revealed that Meghan went to great lengths to steal her scenes, constantly trying to upstage her and interfere with her lines and cues.
Jealousy, insecurity, and an intense desire for the spotlight seemed to emanate from Meghan, creating a toxic atmosphere on set.
Waddingham expressed her frustration, stating that Meghan despised the praise she received from directors and cast members.
But the drama didn’t stop there.
Waddingham disclosed that Meghan even disrupted her scenes, intentionally making her look bad by interrupting her, talking over her, and altering the script.
Meghan went as far as giving Waddingham incorrect directions and encouraging rule-breaking.
Such unprofessional behavior left Waddingham shocked and hurt.
She made it clear that she went out of her way to avoid Meghan and never spoke to her again after her time on Suits came to an end.
As if all the behind-the-scenes turmoil wasn’t enough, Waddingham hinted at Meghan’s notorious reputation, suggesting that she wasn’t surprised when she heard about the alleged turmoil caused by Meghan within the royal family.
According to Waddingham, Meghan is a bona fide nightmare, and she sympathizes with anyone who has to deal with her.
However, Waddingham made it clear that she doesn’t need Meghan’s approval or validation.
With a successful show, a loving family, incredible colleagues, devoted fans, and real friends, she has all the love and support she needs.
“I don’t need any negativity or drama.
I’m happy, and I’m home for Christmas,” Waddingham declared, putting an end to the Meghan Markle chapter once and for all.
In conclusion, Hannah Waddingham’s candid revelations about her encounter with Meghan Markle shed light on a side of the Duchess that many may not have expected.
