The Reason Behind The ‘Scandal’ Reunion Explained

Our minds are literally doing double takes over pics of Kerry Washington with her former “Scandal” costars. What could this mean? Is it a subtle hint that we’ll be getting more of Olivia Pope or…Here’s what we know.

Kerry Washington Joins “Scandal” Co-stars To Support the SAG-AFTRA Strike

In case you don’t already know, this strike means a lot to actors, especially to those who are still upcoming in the industry and are still holding down two jobs because of the low pay they receive.

We need our entertainers to be happy in order for them to entertain us, and it’s a happy thing that many, stars or not, are taking this seriously.

Jason Momoa donated water for those on the SAG-AFTRA frontlines and others have donated money and resources to see the so-called “starving artists” through this tough and uncertain times. Here we are hoping the studio heads will blink first.

Joining in on the struggle are Kerry Washington and her former “Scandal” co-stars Tony Goldwyn and Bellamy Young, who put in an appearance at the actors’ union office in New York on Friday.

The selfies that were born of the reunion included the “Scandal” alums and Goldywn, 63, who held up a sign which read, “What is creativity worth?” and Washington posing with a poster reading, “Guild vs. Evil.”

“Volunteered with some fellow @sagaftra members that I LOVE today,” Washington shared on Instagram, encouraging her millions of followers to get involved as the labor strike continues. She also shared a TikTok video of the trio’s volunteer experience set to Montell Jordan’s “This Is How We Do It.”

The clip sees the trio writing signs, folding t-shirts and explaining the importance of the strike. “Why are we on strike?” Washington, who played “Scandal” lead character Olivia Pope, asked.

Goldwyn, who starred as Olivia’s lover President Fitzgerald Grant on the ABC Drama series, replied, “We are on strike to get a fair deal for all workers in our industry who put so much on the line and we’re just asking for fairness for each other.”

“For fairness and equity and so we don’t get replaced by computers,” she added, referring to the increasing use of A.I. in entertainment. He agreed, “Yeah, that too.”
