Patrick Brammall's wife has come out swinging in defense of his role in The Devil Wears Prada 2, pointing fingers squarely at the editing room. Brammall joins the star-studded sequel twenty years after the original film took the world by storm, stepping into a story already loaded with sky-high expectations. While the movie is busy rewriting box office history, one behind-the-scenes detail has quietly stolen the spotlight.

When a sequel this big sparks a debate this personal, someone is bound to speak up, and she did.

Harriet Dyer, wife of The Devil Wears Prada 2 actor Patrick Brammall, has publicly defended her husband after his on-screen character received widespread criticism. Brammall played Peter, Andy's love interest in the sequel, a role critics have called unnecessary and one-dimensional. Dyer fired back on Cosmopolitan's Instagram post, which described the character as "pointless."

"Mean post. They cut scenes out. The edit is brutal," she wrote in the comment.

Dyer then added, "I liked him, and I married him," making her loyalties unmistakably clear.

Peter is not the first of Andy's boyfriends to face audience disapproval. Nate, played by Adrian Grenier in the original 2006 film, earned a near-legendary reputation among fans as unsupportive and dismissive of Andy's ambitions, with many crowning him the true villain of the story. Grenier himself admitted to Page Six that he was "disappointed" about not being invited back for the sequel, though he acknowledged the character's baggage may have played a role.

While Nate became a villain in fans' eyes and Peter a forgotten footnote, the real star of the story may be the film's staggering numbers.

The Devil Wears Prada 2 opened to approximately $233 million worldwide across its debut weekend, making it one of the biggest comedy openings in years. Domestically, it has since crossed $144 million, with international earnings pushing the global total past $433 million, already surpassing the original film's entire lifetime gross of $326 million. Produced on a budget of around $100 million, the sequel has firmly established itself as one of 2026's biggest commercial triumphs.

Critics have given the film a 78% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, praising performances by Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci, along with its sharp wit and stylish execution. Audiences have been even kinder, awarding it an 87% score, with many calling it a worthy, feel-good follow-up to the beloved original. Amid all this success, Harriet Dyer's defense of Patrick Brammall remains a reminder that even blockbusters have their behind-the-scenes battles.
