During a May 15 SuperSoul Session with Oprah Winfrey, Kerry Washington opened up about the toxicity in her life prior to getting the role of Olivia Pope on the wildly popular drama Scandal.
“There was a lot of toxicity in my life, people I needed to let go of in a personal way, in a business way,” Washington told Winfrey. “There was a period before Scandal when I went into the wilderness… I took a break and did a Broadway play. I went back to my roots as an artist.”
Washington, who is married to former NFL player Nnamdi Asomugha and expecting her second child, said she is much more content with her life today.
