Kerry Washington is trending on social media after she made a joke towards her Scandal co-star Tony Goldwyn about the #BlackWifeEffect.
“Tony! I’ve upgraded your life in so many ways. #BlackWifeEffect, and today I’m adding one more. Go upgrade your voter registration status to REGISTERED Love you!!!!!! #RegisterAFriendDay #Olitz,” she wrote on her Instagram.
One user on X tweeted that Kerry was “saving democracy one thirst trap at a time,” to which she responded, “Whatever it takes.”
Kerry and Tony developed a close friendship while working on “Scandal,” where their on-screen chemistry sparked rumors that they were dating in real life.
Their frequent public appearances and playful social media interactions fueled this speculation. However, both actors have clarified that their relationship is purely a strong professional bond and deep mutual respect.
However, many social media users reacted to the post as if Tony were their own husband, praising his wife’s strength in managing their obviously close relationship.
