Following high-profile covers for Ebony and Marie Claire, Kerry Washington has landed on the front of The Edit’s latest edition, and she’s on fire!
The “Scandal” star shares that she used Twitter to divert attention away from the fact that she was giving birth last April. "Every Thursday within three weeks of my due date, I loaded up pre-tweets based on the episodes and what I would want to say. I tweeted in the very early stages of my labor. I figured that if I went completely silent on social media, then people would know I was in the hospital!"
As for the differences between her own personality and that of her character Olivia Pope, Kerry explains, "A
lot of therapy! Not to say that I have it all together, but I think I have a little bit more awareness about my behavior patterns and I do the work it takes to get out of them. [Shonda Rhimes] never wrote Olivia Pope to be a role model. She wrote her to be a human being, and part of what people identify with so much is that she is conflicted. In some ways, she's so aspirational — you want to walk like her, dress like her, command attention like her and control a situation like her. In other ways, she's a warning of what not to be."
