‘How to Get Away with Murder’ Showrunner Shonda Rhimes Fires Back at Fan’s Outrage Over Show’s ‘Gay Scenes’

Kyler Geoffroy October 20, 2014

The steamy office sex scene between gay law student Connor Walsh and intern Paxton on Thursday's How to Get Away with Murder was apparently too hot to handle for one fan of the show – who took to Twitter over the weekend to voice her displeasure with showrunner Shonda Rhimes (who also heads Scandal)

@shondarhimes the gay scenes in scandal and how to get away with murder are too much. There is no point and they add nothing to the plot.

Rhimes wasted no time shutting down the dissatisfied fan, firing back:

@Dabdelhakiem What gay scenes? "Gay" scenes?

— shonda rhimes (@shondarhimes) October 19, 2014

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

— shonda rhimes (@shondarhimes) October 19, 2014

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

— shonda rhimes (@shondarhimes) October 19, 2014

. @Dabdelhakiem If u use the phrase "gay scenes", u are not only LATE to the party but also NOT INVITED to the party. Bye Felicia. #oneLOVE
