Grey's Anatomy creator shuts down critic of 'gay scenes' in her shows

Don’t tell Shonda Rhimes that the ‘gay scenes’ in her shows are ‘too much’.

THIS IS SHONDA Rhimes, the Emmy-nominated creator of Grey’s Anatomy.

The 99th annual White House Correspondents Association (WHCA) dinner - DC AFF / EMPICS Entertainment AFF / EMPICS Entertainment / EMPICS Entertainment

She also owns the ShondaLand production company that created the critically acclaimed series Scandal and new show How To Get Away With Murder.

While holding a Q&A on Twitter on Sunday, Rhimes received this question from a Scandal fan that wasn’t into the ‘gay scenes’ (their words) in the show.

Whoops!

Rhimes wasn’t impressed, and had the perfect answer for them:

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

“There are scenes with people in them.” Yup. She wasn’t finished, though:

@Dabdelhakiem If you are suddenly discovering that Shondaland shows have scenes involving people who are gay, you are LATE TO THE PARTY.
