About two months ago we told y'all that actress Kerry Washington, the star of the hit TV show, 'Scandal' was pregnant with her second child. The news had everyone asking how the producers of the show will handle her pregnancy----whether or not her character, Olivia Pope will be pregnant in the new season. Read It Here If You Missed It
Well, Kerry has revealed that although she is pregnant, her character, Olivia Pope is not. So to accommodate that, the show is doing a lot of adjustments in the wardrobe department.
The actress was speaking in the September issue of InStyle Magazine where she stuns on the cover.
"There's nothing high-end for professional women who are pregnant, so for the show, we wind up just buying the same clothes," she said in the September issue of InStyle magazine. "We will cut out the front of Armani trousers and put in a pregnancy panel. That's what we do for everything."

The Emmy award winning actress and her husband, former NFL player, Nnamdi Asougha, 35 are parents to a two year old daughter, Isabella Asomugha. The interview which hits news stands Aug. 12th, is one of the rare times 39-year old Kerry Washington has spoken candidly about her pregnancy. She is known for always keeping her private life out of the news.
"I think that's where the need for quiet is coming from," she explained. "You arrive at a certain place of achieving and suddenly you feel like your goals are being dictated by other people. Right now, as I get ready for this second baby, it's really about me being in touch with what I want."
It also help that she can get sound advise from Scandal creator, Shonda Rhimes.....
"I consider myself busy, but Shonda has about four of five shows, three kids," Washington said. "She says, 'If you feel like you have just the right amount of help, then you don't have enough.' My therapist said this too. You need a lot of support. No just logistically but emotionally and spiritually."
Leaning on her female colleagues at work shouldn't be surprising, Washington said there's "a misconception of this catty, competitiveness between women. That has not been my experience, particularly in Shondaland."
"My mother is one of seven kids ... so I have a lot of strong women in my family, and I have supportive, beautiful relationships with all of them. I also went to an all-girls school, so I've always believed in the collective power of women," she continued. "Being the one woman in the room should not be seen as a victory".
"If there's only one of us in the room," Washington added, "we're still a token; we don't actually have an empowered voice. If there's two of us, we're still a minority. If there's three ... then we're allowed to have a multiplicity of opinions."
