Suits Star Wendell Pierce Brands Meghan Markle's Interview 'Insignificant'

Wendell Pierce shares his opinion

Wendell Pierce shared his opinion on Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's Oprah Winfrey interview this week.

The actor told LBC radio, "in the midst of so much death, I think it is insignificant."

Wendell played Meghan's on-screen father, Robert Zane, in Suits.

Wendell pointed out, "Today 3,000 people are going to die in America from Covid."

"A couple of hundred people are going to die within this hour in the UK."

"We are in the midst of a pandemic, that at one point before these vaccines I thought could be an extinction event if we didn't figure out a way to stop it."

He continued, "[We're] still in the midst of something that we haven't seen in a century."

"So the interview, for me the first thing that come to my mind, was actually something that was very English written by the bard Shakespeare: 'Full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.'"

Wendell added, "It is quite insensitive and offensive that we are all complicit in this sort of Palace... gossip."

"In the midst of so much death, I think it is insignificant."

Wendell offers some, 'clarity'

He later took to Twitter to comment further, after discovering, '[His] words [were] being used as an attack.'

The actor wrote, 'Clarity: The British monarchy is archaic in my American eyes.'

'If slavery, colonialism and apartheid didn’t educate you that they are racist, you failed history.'

'I was fortunate to tell Meghan personally I wish her all the best,' he continued in a follow-up tweet.

'Predicting this hellacious maelstrom I also told her she would always have a friend in me.'

'Because I had no interest in the interview doesn’t change that.'

'In no way am I insensitive to suicide,' Wendell added in his next tweet.

'Unfortunately my family has suffered the pain of losing someone to suicide.'

'I never was interviewed by the Daily Mail and their story manipulated my words in a radio interview.'

'As I told Meghan, I support her and wish her all the best.'

I juy.
