In a surprising turn of events, Patrick J Adams, known for his role in the hit TV show “Suits,” has issued an apology for posting throwback photos of his former co-star Meghan Markle on his Instagram page.

The actor faced backlash after sharing images from the set of the show, including previously unseen photos of Meghan.

Adams took down the four posts following reminders from his followers that such actions were not allowed during the ongoing actor’s strike.

In a statement shared on his Instagram story, Adams expressed regret for his thoughtless actions.

“The last couple of days, I foolishly and thoughtlessly let a trip down Suit’s memory lane distract me from the very real and ongoing fight that everyone at SAG-AFTRA continues to wage in its effort to win our membership realistic 21st-century compensation and protections,” he admitted.

“It was an embarrassing oversight, for which I’m incredibly sorry,” Adams continued, expressing gratitude towards those who pointed out his mistake and vowing to continue supporting the cause.

He concluded his statement with the hashtag #SAG-AFTRAstrong.

However, rumors have surfaced suggesting that there may be more to the story.

Speculation has arisen that Meghan’s attorneys threatened Adams if he did not promptly remove the suit’s photos.

The situation became so intense that Adams even changed the handle of his Instagram account, previously known as “half Adams.”

Some individuals believe that Meghan demanded the removal of the pictures due to her exposed feet and notably pale legs.

The Royal Rogue, a source familiar with the matter, claims that Meghan’s team threatened Adams with legal action if he failed to comply.

Further evidence supporting this theory comes from RestingDollFace, who tweeted about the situation and caught the attention of The Royal Rogue during a livestream.

RestingDollFace pointed out that the photos originated from Meghan’s former Instagram account, adding weight to the argument that she wanted them removed.

The controversy surrounding Adams’ actions also intersects with the ongoing actor’s strike led by SAG-AFTRA.

According to an FAQ page on their website, members are prohibited from promoting struck work or companies on social media.

This applies to both organic and paid posts.

SAG-AFTRA, formed in the 1930s, is a union that represents various media professionals, including actors, announcers, broadcast journalists, dancers, DJs, news writers, and more.

With approximately 160,000 members, the union advocates for fair compensation, benefit plans, and protections against the impact of artificial intelligence on their work.

The strike by SAG-AFTRA is not an isolated incident in the entertainment industry.

The Writers Guild of America recently concluded a 148-day strike, with more than 1,000 entertainment writers voting to end the strike on September 27th.

As a result, several shows have already announced their return to television.

Interestingly, some individuals speculate that the entire situation between Adams and Markle may have been orchestrated.

The theory suggests that Adams initially obtained Markle’s permission to release the photos, generating significant media attention.

The following day, he issued an apology, garnering further publicity.

Finally, on the third day, he deleted the photos, which became the lead story in the Daily Mail.

Supporters of this theory argue that Adams, whose career has faced challenges despite his family connections to influential figures in Hollywood, sought to regain the spotlight.

They also suggest that Meghan’s recent positive coverage in the media was a deliberate effort by WME, a prominent talent agency, following a negative incident involving actor Kevin Costner.

In conclusion, Patrick J Adams’ decision to share behind-the-scenes photos of Meghan Markle has sparked controversy amidst the ongoing actor’s strike.

While Adams has apologized for his actions, rumors persist about the true motivations behind the deletion of the photos.

The incident highlights the importance of adhering to industry guidelines and the complex dynamics at play within the entertainment world.
