shonda rhimes on red carpet
Not yet familiar with Shonda Rhimes? You should be. She’s the highly regarded and talented American writer, director and producer behind such shows as Grey’s Anatomy, Scandal and How To Get Away With Murder. She’s also a woman that shoots from the hip, never afraid to share her views with anyone who dares to challenge her, whether it’s a journalist describing her lead character as a ‘sassy, angry black woman’ or someone of an anti-gay persuasion.
Recently, Miss Rhimes received a tweet from someone who, while they enjoyed Scandal for the most part, felt the ‘gay scenes’ were just too much and totally unnecessary. Little did they know how quickly Rhimes would put them back in their box, bringing their ignorance to the attention of her legion of discerning fans and leaving them, well, mortified. We quite enjoyed her retorts.
Life is good in Shondaland.
@shondarhimes the gay scenes in scandal and how to get away with murder are too much. There is no point and they add nothing to the plot.

. @Dabdelhakiem There are no GAY scenes. There are scenes with people in them.

I love all you Tweeples. Even the ones who still need to grow. And remember that at some point, someone discriminated against you too.

I don’t know why this kind of hate is out there. Ugh. #onelove. At least in Shondaland. Have a great rest of your weekend!
