Scandal star Kerry Washington has found herself in a bit of a scandal of her own. After making the conscious decision to not speak about her personal life following her divorce from David Moscow she is hardly seen out on dates or even with a leading man in her life. She jumped the broom the summer in secret to NFL player Nnamdi Asomugha yet they are never seen together which has lead fans to come to the only sensible conclusion that she’s a lesbian.
“It’s interesting how much people long to fill in the gaps when someone in the public eye doesn’t share their personal life,” she told the Advocate in a lengthy interview published Thursday. “I understand their frustration. I like how people will post pictures of me with other women that I adore, hugging on red carpets, and say, ‘See?’ Are we so uncomfortable with love between two people of the same gender that we immediately label it as sexual? But I’ve never been bothered by the lesbian rumor. There’s nothing offensive about it, so there’s no reason to be offended.”
There is a gay couple on her show Scandal which she does support and is excited about, which inadvertently doesn’t help her case for being straight either.
“It’s really exciting that millions of viewers each week are living life with this amazing, complex couple, stepping into their gay marriage and adoption experience, which is such a vital storyline in our show,” she said.
Kerry Washington is pregnant with her first child with cornerback husband Asomugha and if any Scandal fans interested in living out those lesbian rumors with her will have to fight him off first. Washington can be seen Thursday night at 10pm on ABC.
