“The Devil Wears Prada 2” star Patrick Brammall’s wife is publicly clapping back at the backlash his character has received.

Brammall plays Peter (Andy’s love interest) in the sequel to 2006’s “The Devil Wears Prada” — but his character hasn’t been well-received due to critics deeming Peter as unnecessary and unworthy of Andy (played by Anne Hathaway).

Brammal’s wife, Australian actress Harriet Dyer, reacted to a Cosmopolitan magazine Instagram post shading Peter on Tuesday. The magazine wrote in part, “A near-perfect sequel being tainted by a pointless man? Likely thing to happen.”

Dyer commented, putting the blame on how Brammall’s character was edited.

“Mean post. They cut scenes out. The edit is brutal,” she wrote.

She also pointed out that the pics Cosmo used of Brammall and Hathaway smiling big and showing PDA on the streets of New York City were from a scene that was actually cut from the final film.

“I liked him,” she wrote of her husband. “And I married him.”

Brammall and Dyer tied the knot in March 2021, after dating since 2017. They adopted their daughter Joni in 2021, and welcomed daughter Mabel in February 2025.

In Cosmo’s article titled “Andy’s One-Dimensional Boyfriend Is an Insult to Single Women Everywhere” published last week, the writer blasts the character of Peter for being “as one-dimensional as they come” — but also pointed out that Brammall wasn’t to blame.

“No shade to Patrick, he was written that way,” the writer noted.

In the writer’s opinion, Andy shouldn’t have been in a relationship at all given the film is heavily about her career.

“Why, in 2026, are we still so scared of a woman who is proudly single and child-free?” they asked.

Andy’s boyfriend in the first film, Nate — played by Adrian Grenier — has also faced plenty of hate from fans over the years, with some calling him the true villain of the film for being unsupportive of Andy.

Page Six spoke to Grenier in March, who admitted he was “disappointed” that he wasn’t asked to be in the sequel.

“But I also understand there’s some backlash with Nate, the character, so that might have something to do with it,” he told us.

Still, he held out hope that there’s more life for his character, adding, “But I think that just leaves room for a spinoff.”
