Kerry Washington Slammed For Photoshop Fail and Looking White On Instyle Cover

Posted in: , ,

I thought I was the only one who went huh! when I saw this Kerry Washington cover for InStyle magazine’s March 2015 edition. The ABC’s Scandal actress shared the photo on her Instagram and most of her fans have reacted strongly, and negatively, to the cover picture.

But seriously, does that look anything like Kerry Washington? Apart from her upper lip, all other features look so totally different, I can barely recognise her! Olivia Pope fans and Gladiators are calling her out on photoshop fail, and looking white on the cover. But I guess it's not Kerry's fault but that of the photographers and magazine editors. Check out tweets against the cover below and share what you think...

Kerry Washington Already Separated From Husband Nnamdi Asomugha?

Posted in: ,

I believe these are bad belle people, or what else can it be? Kerry Washington famed for her role in Scandal as go-getter Olivia Pope, does not like to put her personal life on blast and prefer people talk about her career instead.

But since her marriage to Nigerian American NFL player, Nnamdi Asomugha, and the birth of their daughter several months ago, that is all some tabloids want to focus on. And this time, they are using her close-mouthed nature to attack her marriage.

Covers - Kerry Washington Is Au Naturel For Allure

Posted in: , ,

Kerry Washington is looking flawless as she chooses the 'no makeup' look for the recent cover of Allure magazine.

The au naturel look does not necessarily mean make-up free, but the use of minimal light makeup that matches the skin closely. This is done very well here and Kerry looks fabulous! And the fact that Kerry is half-dressed adds to the illusion of #iWokeUpLikeThis.

Posted in: , , ,

Kerry Washington has joined the conversation about domestic violence, and she is focusing on an area of control and power that is often-overlooked. Kerry says the top reason why women stay in abusive relationships is financial abuse, and I think I agree with her. She said this in an interview with The Huffington Post;

Kerry Washington Admits It Was Tough Being Olivia Pope While Pregnant

Posted in: , ,

Kerry Washington welcomed her first child with husband Nnamdi Asomugha, daughter Isabelle Amarachi Asomugha, back in April. So for most of the last season of Scandal, the 37-year-old Scandal actress was pregnant, and she successfully concealed her baby bump to play Olivia Pope on the TV show.

However, Kerry admits she struggled with the emotional roller coaster of being pregnant while filming Scandal where her character Olivia Pope was not pregnant. Kerry revealed to The Hollywood Reporter;

"All of last season was a challenge for me, on a few levels. For one thing, I was going through this amazing physical transition, this physical journey of having a baby, that my character was not going through. And I work very physically. What I do is often grounded in the body. That meant I had to figure out how to be this woman while my instrument was changing and evolving every day. It was like seeing the keys on a piano jump around on a daily basis. It was tough for me to even maintain Olivia's walk because of the changes.
