The woman who gave us Scandal and Grey's Anatomy is Calling out The New York Times on Twitter. On Friday, executive producer Shonda Rhimes sent out five tweets directed at the newspaper after its chief TV critic, Alessandra Stanley, said Shonda's autobiography "should be called 'How to Get Away With Being an Angry Black Woman.'" The statement was made in a review of Shonda's latest show, How to Get Away With Murder, which premieres on ABC on Sept. 25. Alessandra described the show as "a**ther network ****** from [Shonda]'s production company to showcase a powerful, intimidating Black woman." In a ****** of tweets, Shonda pointedly addressed a few of Alessandra's statements, including her claim that Shonda created the show, which is actually the brainchild of writer Pete **walk.
Confused why @nytimes Critic doesn't k**w identity of CREATOR of show she's reviewing. @pete**wa did u k**w u were "an angry Black woman"?
Shonda later tweeted out a story from Slate, which came to her defense, saying Rhimes "has **t just re-framed the stereotype of the 'angry Black woman,' she has blown open what Black female characters are allowed to do on television, including, most importantly, fronting a TV show."
