Kerry Washington on the 'Scandal' series finale and the show's legacy

[@RebecaC12]

Not a lot of people liked how Liv and Mellie became friends in the later seasons, but I happened to love it... Their dynamic as allies was so much better than having 'bitch Mellie' against Olivia!

[@animexanime1528]

Fr🗣🗣❤️

[@cherisee]

I still can’t believe its over I literally can’t even...

[@DaiX312]

I literally in tears 😭

[@kuncoromukti8274]

Cherise Episodes are on Netflix for your continued pleasure. 😜

[@khaladimontja1637]

I love that she credits Tony Goldwyn who I believe is a spectacular human being ❤

[@auntieyonceedits4516]

but can we talk about how youthful & gorgeous Kerry looks in this interview (& basically all the time) 😍

[@K1ngq4t]

She looks younger with her natural hair

[@latisha334]

She’s so gorgeous!

[@islandgirlruby2750]

We want a scandal movie, we want a scandal movie 🎥 repeat with me.

[@luleysolomonentertainment4073]

Kerry Washington is the one and only, who is the hero of Scandle Show . Love you Kerry .

[@drizzlejolie4506]

She’s so beautiful. This look is just everything. From the hair to the lips to the polka dot. This look is perfect

[@sidsid6380]

Love the cast, but the finale was weak...

[@mahaenazy]

Did she marry FItz? Please tell me .. I didn’t see it 😥

[@yungdagger6342]

Maha Enazy nope

[@kuncoromukti8274]

Yes. The finale was week. But, the thing of it this series was only supposed to last 6 seasons. We got a 7th season because KW’s second pregnancy.

[@kuncoromukti8274]

Maha Enazy There was no real time wedding. And their relationship was left open ended.

[@jonathans8892]

kuncoro mukti wdym we got a 7th season due to the pregnancy

[@Genie2386]

I always knew the girl from Save The Last Dance is the girl from every other project she's done. I LOVED Kerry's character in STLD. I love her as Olivia Pope even more, though.

[@Pumpkin675]

She is so beautiful!!! 😍

[@fatimajaffer1745]

Shes so gorgeous. Watching Jan.2021. Love her.

[@Serendipity1100-j2n]

She is so well spoken!

[@cheniseflowers8143]

Just...so beautiful. Started watching in 2021. On s5 ep2!!!!

[@lameduck1753]

Tony and Kerry should do more work together

[@neneschannel4209]

She is gorgeous!! My eyes😭.

[@Kevin-wy4zk]

I freaking love her. Such a good show

[@horstschlemmer2042]

Great actress. And amazing person.

[@tonih.justice5013]

I'll miss scandal when it's gone. It's one of the best series I've ever seen. My hope is to see a spinoff with Charlie doing spy work and sometimes checking in with some of the other cast members, especially Sirus!!

[@THEDOORIZCLOSED]

I need her featured more in How To Get Away With Murder...or some type of sequel to her new life!!!!!

[@2Duv4Luv]

I was so depressed when SCANDAL ended. Thursday's aren't the same without The Gladiators.

[@jazzybash1]

I didn’t start watching the show until it’s second season because that’s what everyone was talking about. Then I bought the season 1 dvd set, binged watched it with my mom and sister and my dad and got them hooked on it.

[@rubychew6875]

I hope that Shonda does a spin off show with Olivia and Fitz.

[@THEDOORIZCLOSED]

But wasnt shonda originally behind scandal? I agree tho something REAALY bad happened wth this show and imo it didnt end so well. UGH. PREMATURE!

[@lameduck1753]

So Scandal 2? Because a spin-off would be other characters as opposed to the leads

[@lonnellleonard6747]

A year later I’m still over it 😩 I miss it

[@nahuelma97]

Her hair looks stunning, I love it

[@boknowsx]

Scandal is 1/3 top faves. Kerry Washington is the one & only person who could’ve played Olivia Pope and it’ll go down in history. She BODIED Liv while giving every one of her co-stars their room to shine like the Queen she is & I’ll NEVER give up hope for a Scandal movie/spin-off etc.

[@zephaniahshikuku8497]

I just loved her. She is so amazing!

[@ispy368]

Jake was a sick murderer...she ended with Fritz...what the fans wanted...we wanted more, but at least it appears they will be together,.

[@huguettekouame3895]

Of course they end together , face to face ,with the white house behind Liv and together in the LIGTH .

[@carlettagoodrichmann1513]

What a magnificent series of political links and licks from the White House briefs. ONE Of the BEST series of Politcal sporting

[@anngomez7856]

love- love that show love you kerry

[@joshrmcgee]

Season 7 of Scandal is wack! I've never been so disinterested in the show and it's unfortunate because this has been one of my personal favorite shows of all time.

[@ndo533]

Joshua McGee it really was They tried tho but it was clearly time to bury the hatchey

[@joshrmcgee]

@Nd O - I watched season 6 on Saturday and I was invested in that season more and I had already seen it. I would have loved to see them have to work together in the final season like in Season 6.

[@brushrome]

True, she should have ended with Jake

[@mileycyrus201198]

i was watching clips from s1 and s7 and just wondering how did the show change so much...

[@teylahh5625]

mono dramas They ran out of storylines. The first couple of seasons had moments that left you flabbergasted!! Also, I think that the storylines in the first couple of seasons seemed believable and realistic. It was possible that situations within the first couple seasons have/were happening within our government, but they went WAY too far! I had friends that watched the show here and there because of me laugh at the last season, even the season before that . It’s unfortunate 👎🏻😔 . This used to be my favorite show ! *sidenote* I recently got into Grey’s Anatomy because multiple people told me I looked like Amelia Shepherd (ahaha) anyway... I got hooked to the show until a few seasons ago . The show sucks now . I love Shonda and think she’s brilliant but I think she doesn’t know when it’s appropriate to end a show without ruining it. Sorry I went all in because I’m drunk lmao ✌🏻

[@yumitokushige8486]

I watched only a first few episodes on "rented videotapes". She did look young and single. She has "grown up".

[@tiffanymorris3520]

Kerry is my fellow Alumni! Go GW!

[@lydiagiwa2178]

Just finished scandal again after seeing Fitz & Olivia on TikTok . I guess that was the idea but I want more

[@serenedang]

Loving her so muchhhh

[@queenie.lawyergirl.pittymom]

cant believe Sirus did in David. I thought Abby would end up marrying him

[@tamily4663]

Finale was AWFUL. It was supposed to be somewhat satisfying and realistic, but it was TRASH

[@iamshakuri]

I AGREE FULLHEARTEDLY

[@alliyahdabo7615]

She came a long way from being "The Thing's" wife from fantastic 4

[@diamondgamer2349]

Scandal forever 👍😃 Olitz forever 👍😃

[@brittanywashington5866]

Kerry I knew you were shanell from save the last dance bc that's one of my favorite movies! You were also in mr.& mrs.smith I believe

[@latisha334]

Brittany Washington she’s always be Shaneal to me! Lol

[@garrettmangrove9602]

I miss this beautiful black gorgeous woman on abc, i thinks its time to put another show around here, absolutely stunning!!! I love it n i dont even like pollitics, but 90 percent of the reason i watched this show was because of her!!!

[@THEDOORIZCLOSED]

Im so sad its over! It just felt so incomplete! Meanwhile Greys Anatomy is still on and that show is a TRAINWRECK! I seriously dont think seeven seasons was enough for scandal. It all just felt so rushed. For me season6 and seven were absolute disasters. Olivias redemption was SO. RUSHED. They shouldve drew it out, do some more collabs with How ToGet Away With Murder like a black Law and Order SVU. Give us a flow of Olivias new life and how it doesnt revolve around the padt anymore .Again EVERYthing was just so rushed! I'll have to binge the show from the start in Netflix to feel better 😭😭😂😂

[@carolinemaingi4879]

I think Shonda started to pick early that the viewers were not really liking current direction on the show and at times seems like there was no plot and the thrill was something short to be desired.

[@COBYKOEHL2]

BRILLIANT WOMAN

[@alextoohot19]

That last episode was trash!

[@MarieAmicalola]

It truly was.

[@asunayuuki3505]

It was! It was so uninteresting and they ended it with so many knots untied.

[@Principessa1026]

Asuna Yuuki So. Many. Unanswered. Questions. I felt very cheated by the finale.

[@jillyoung6198]

I want a best friend like Huck🤗

[@deea6053]

Sigh😯☹😩😧 ive missed a whole 2 years of Scandal... now its ending??? Ill have to get the dvds someday to catch up and see how it ends.... a shame for me! Coz I was so into it, live tweeting and all... oh well😓😞😔 bye scandal

[@akosuayeboah3069]

Dee a¿ it’s on Netflix

[@diamondgamer2349]

I'm still watching Scandal in Hulu 🤭😂😂

[@t.marieking3239]

Love Kerri but started hating Olivia after season 3

[@faithwatkins7811]

It's not Olivia the character it's the writers what they turned her into. When her dad and mom came into the picture in season 3 things went downhill for her. It explained alot of why Olivia is the way she is

[@diamondgamer2349]

I hate,Shonda Rhimes, not Olivia🤭😱😂😂😂😂

[@jaminwaite3867]

season 6 sealed the deal with me and the whole Mellivia stuff...I couldn't stand it

[@lameduck1753]

I love the interviewer’s laugh at 3:15

[@lameduck1753]

Omg her hair in the thumbnail

[@ashleynicole9423]

Hated the season finale. Hated the final season as a whole. Just wanted to see her and fitz ride off in the sunset lol.

[@lynnmiddleton2173]

N my limited knowledge of HW I'm thinking maybe the love scenes bet TG & KW were toned down after season 2 frm other influences that fans r not privy 2. Also the ending of Scandal we r duped 2 believe that SR woke up 1 morning & decided 2 end the show.. I remember vaguely that GMA"s LS announced they had heard Scandal was ending, SR stated that was not true. I suppose there were other factors that we will never know y Scandal had 2 end. But the story that SR tells does not pass the smell test.

[@joang.d.2569]

Have it available on netflix

[@ericwatkins9554]

SEASON 7 WAS to unrealistic Miller grant working with Olivia pope after Olivia slept with her husband in Millie house!!!!!🤔 NOBODY is that forgiving. And I'm Olivia pope fan but still come on season 7 is garbage I enjoyed last season and season 6 was a short season!!!! And can somebody tell me how is it SHONDA RHIMES WOULD END SCANDAL IN ITS MEDIOCRE SEASON YET BUT GREY'S ANATOMY U WOULD CREATE A SEASON 15 FOR THEM 🤔🤔 GREY'S ANATOMY SHOULD'VE ENDED LONG BEFORE SCANDAL IM JUST SAYING.

[@Nazaba09]

Eric Watkins I’d be that forgiving if i was that much of a bitch to my husband for so long. Mellie walked right into it.

[@ericwatkins9554]

Natalie Zayas-Bazan 😂😂😂 TRUE THAT DON'T GET ME WRONG I ❤ FITZ AND OLIVIA TOGETHER IT DROVE ME CRAZY THAT SHONDA RHIMES MADE OLIVIA AND MILLIE COLLAGES IN BUSINESS 🤔? BUT I FEEL AS THOUGH SCANDAL DESERVED TO BE ON T.V. 2 MORE YRS THEN GREY'S

[@Nazaba09]

Eric Watkins it drove me nuts that Mellie was a series regular instead of just a few episodes in s1 like she was supposed to be. She was SO ANNOYING.

[@ericwatkins9554]

Natalie Zayas-Bazan I know dumb decision on SHONDA RHIMES

[@tbam73]

Eric Watkins Power is what always that fueled Mellies decision. No more unrealistic than her hiding from Fitz that his father raped her because they were on their way to being a political power couple. Fitz would have surely believed her. Power.

[@tosin.eniola]

season 4 was scandals best

[@Peacelovesoul10]

zozo. xoxo season 2 is my fave. Defiance...assassination attempt...papa pope's first appearance, still fixing new problems every day...whew what a show!!!

[@ashleynicole9423]

Season 3 and 5 for me 😆😆

[@Hussain-tv6rs]

season 6>>>>

[@lameduck1753]

Omg did they darken her skin in Last King of Scotland?

[@MischkaSoonMi]

The final episode sucked. It felt rushed. It could have been better. Loved all the other seasons and episodes!

[@Burberryb3891]

I like the darker Kerry Washington...maybe it's the made-up, not certain but I like her darker

[@jensterjen]

BRING IT BACK. BRING IT BACK

[@mazvitaselemani]

Ryan murphy needs to take notes from Shonda on how to end a fvcking series. That stunt he pulled on glee should be illegal. 😡😡😡

[@aglaefernandes9030]

Como foi o final?

[@sams9442]

The finale was so lame.

[@elizabethsemarge4800]

The ending sucked. I felt so disappointed

[@elizabethjackson6042]

Didn't care for the last episode I expected more

[@buteful25]

I’m just glad its over. I have been watching since season one so I felt obligated. It’s been horrible since Columbus was fired. Ijs 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@JadaSnacks]

Do you know why he was fired? - he beat his wife to a pulp, and had a serious anger,drug, and alcohol problem. He needed to go.

[@buteful25]

JadaSnacks Yes, I do know why he was fired but that doesn’t change the fact that the show was much better when he was on it.

[@damion4mcgregor888]

[@andreachung396]

Ooooos I like Kerry natural hair!

[@princessadetolah.paraizo4448]

GOOD FOR HER SHE DOESN'T WATCH THE SHOW.

[@faithwatkins7811]

No need she lived it for 7 seasons but she still gets paid for it as long as it is on Netflix

[@diamondgamer2349]

I'm still watching Scandal in Hulu 👍😀

[@sylviehamu4571]

Merci de m'avoir roulé comme beaucoup d'autres fans ! J'aimais l'idée de cette femme noire, belle, gladiateur,lobbyiste, conseillère du Président des États-Unis, qui sait où elle va et ce qu'elle veut. Jusque là, le tableau est idyllique. Après, ce qui l'est moins, c'est de lui avoir donné la stature d'une héroïne (unique enfant de parents assassins, a aussi du sang sur les mains) qui a la tête sur les épaules, mais qui en réalité, était la Putain en Chef, (briseuse de ménage) mais néanmoins amoureuse de l'ex-Président Grant (gentil assassin) ne sait même pas qui choisir de Jake (méchant assassin) homme à tout faire, le plus écorché de tous, amoureux fou d"Olivia mais qui n'est pas récompensé du même amour en retour, qui se retrouve en prison à la fin à payer pour le reste des assassins (Grant (avion), Mellie (bus), Rowan, Cyrus etc.. Que s'est-il passé dans le tête des producteurs et scénaristes de la série d'avoir pu ainsi créé des personnages black aussi dévalorisants !? Et apparemment c'est la "recette miracle" puisque la même production nous sert la même "soupe" dans leurs autres TV Show !? Rien de plus culpabilisant, DEVALORISANT, que d'être black !? Le Black qui réussit mais qui a les pires défauts. Pour finir, je comptais sur une clôture pour le moins spectaculaire, en apothéose, digne de l'intérêt que les millions de fans du monde entier ont porté à cette série, mon sentiment est qu'on a tous été bernés ! Se coltiner 7 saisons pour ça !? Quel gâchis !

[@huguettekouame3895]

Le problème c que parcequ 'elle est noire on aurait voulu une héroïne lisse .Mais des séries comme game of thrones ont définitivement changé les personnages de lt hrones n'existe plus de personnages idylliques mais des héros plus proches de la réalité, avec leurs défauts ce qui les rend plus humains. La télé ne nous fait plus rêver mais nous met face à notre triste réalité. Blanche ou noire nous ne sommes pas parfaites surtout si nos ambitions politiques et un goût prononcé pour le pouvoir nous amène à commettre des acts insensés.

[@lisenormann4102]

The last two seasons were *so* bad

[@faithwatkins7811]

Probably to keep from crying

[@jaminwaite3867]

that's what Shonda told them to do to make the dialogue sound better...it's called Scandal pace
