Kerry Washington Jokes About Giving Tony Goldwyn a ‘Black Wife Effect’ Glow-Up

Kerry Washington claims to be the one responsible for Tony Goldwyn’s change while they were on Scandal.

Renowned for her portrayal of Olivia Pope in the popular drama “Scandal,” Kerry Washington has jokingly claimed responsibility for Tony Goldwyn, her co-star, changing while they were both on the program. Washington posted a video on Instagram, utilizing the popular #BlackWifeEffect trend, that showed off Goldwyn’s “glow-up” while costarring with her in the film adaptation of President Fitzgerald Grant.

Washington wrote, “Tony! I’ve upgraded your life in so many ways #BlackWifeEffect, and today I’m adding one more. Go upgrade your voter registration status to REGISTERED 😜. Love you!!!!!!”

The video, which is set to the song “Million Dollar Baby” by Tommy Richman, contrasts older and later photographs of Goldwyn to emphasize how their interaction on “Scandal” is said to have contributed to his change.

Throughout the seven seasons of the show, the well-liked onscreen pair dealt with a turbulent relationship that included numerous dramatic turns, stolen elections, and kidnappings. In the series conclusion, they managed to reconcile despite the difficulties.

Following the finale of the show, Washington and Goldwyn have kept fans excited by holding mini-reunions and sharing nostalgic social media postings about their time spent on “Scandal.”

Might this lighthearted conversation result in a reunion for the adored characters? Though nothing is official, Shonda Rhimes, the creator of “Scandal,” has stated that she would be interested in going back to Olivia Pope. Even if the character acted badly, I still really enjoyed her. That character interests me; I like her.”
