As the video made its rounds on social media, X users quickly called out the Suits actress for trying to prove she's head over heels for her husband.
“Smells like desperation!” exclaimed one person.
“Gonna be honest, I don’t know how much more secondhand embarrassment I can take,” said another.
“She’s trying too hard and is a laughing stock,” quipped a third.

“She’s been criticized for not supporting him. I guess that’s her idea of emotional support,” wrote one critic.
“She is still not defending her husband when he gets attacked,” added another.
