Actor Patrick J. Adams, best known for his role as Mike Ross in the hit series “Suits,” has issued a public apology for sharing throwback photos of his former co-stars, including Meghan Markle, Sarah Rafferty, Gabriel Macht, Rick Hoffman, and more, during the ongoing actors’ strike.
Adams initially posted the throwback photos but swiftly realized his mistake and promptly removed the post. He later took to his Instagram Stories to express his regret, acknowledging his lapse in judgment.
In his Instagram Stories post, Adams wrote, “The last couple of days, I foolishly and thoughtlessly let a trip down ‘Suits’ memory lane distract me from the very real and ongoing fight everyone in @sagaftra continues to wage in its effort to win our membership realistic 21st Century compensation and protections.”
The strike, led by the performers’ union SAG-AFTRA, commenced on July 14 due to stalled contract negotiations with studios and streaming platforms. During the strike, union members are prohibited from promoting any projects governed by SAG-AFTRA contracts.
Adams humbly admitted his error, stating, “It was an embarrassing oversight for which I’m incredibly sorry.” He expressed gratitude to those who promptly pointed out his mistake and indicated his commitment to continuing the fight for fair compensation and protections in the coming days and weeks.
Patrick J. Adams’ apology serves as a reminder of the importance of solidarity within the entertainment industry during this crucial period of negotiations.
