@ronabarbar @ScandalWriters We did not imply that. Fitz did. Fitz is a human. Humans are wrong, they lie and they fight dirty when cornered.

@BernLewis1 @kerrywashington They are in bad place. It happens. Doesn't mean they'll always be in bad place. But this is not a fairy tale.

@LisaMarshWriter @ScandalABC The Republicans were/are divided party: Tea Party vs moderate Republicans. We needed that for Sally vs Fitz.
— shonda rhimes (@shondarhimes) April 2, 2014
@spicypink1 @Scandal411 @ronabarbar Yes, and we wrote Fitz as a human. Which means he is not always a reliable narrator of past events.
— shonda rhimes (@shondarhimes) April 2, 2014
@Chy_369 @kerrywashington She does seem to be falling apart, right? Strong people have moments of weakness too. Olivia is on a journey.
— shonda rhimes (@shondarhimes) April 2, 2014
@blancoguiltyfix @ronabarbar @ScandalWriters We never implied Fitz/Liv was based on sex and lies. Fitz and Liv truly love one another.
— shonda rhimes (@shondarhimes) April 2, 2014
@96Wak @kerrywashington I love that idea. But I'm not sure how possible it would be for us to shoot a doc while making 22 episodes.

@QueenGladiator_ @cindycoo4 @annie340 @Scandal411 @ronabarbar @ScandalWriters I am deeply enjoying this convo and debate. It's so good.
— shonda rhimes (@shondarhimes) April 2, 2014
Am truly fascinated by the debate about Fitz and Liv. As if people don't behave badly. Or yell mean things in a fight. Or lose themselves.
— shonda rhimes (@shondarhimes) April 2, 2014
@SpectNScript Am truly loving all these questions!
— shonda rhimes (@shondarhimes) April 2, 2014
@emRosenstein And I am so grateful for that! I love the debates it causes.
— shonda rhimes (@shondarhimes) April 2, 2014
@chelseadunn13 @GreysABC @ScandalABC Yes, they can. But please know that happily ever after equals the end of the story.
— shonda rhimes (@shondarhimes) April 2, 2014
@KWsGladiator Very good point!
— shonda rhimes (@shondarhimes) April 2, 2014
@Only4RM Also a good point!
— shonda rhimes (@shondarhimes) April 2, 2014
@BeyoncesNum1fan And I think those are valid feelings! Doesn't negate their love, though.
— shonda rhimes (@shondarhimes) April 2, 2014
@TrulyScandal Do u really think in that moment, he could even hear Liv's voice to know it was her? Did you see his face after he saw her?
— shonda rhimes (@shondarhimes) April 2, 2014
@FH382 That is also very true! And a great opinion!
— shonda rhimes (@shondarhimes) April 2, 2014
@jennaemoran @BeyoncesNum1fan That is ALSO a totally valid opinion! Yes. Some people might feel it is abusive.
— shonda rhimes (@shondarhimes) April 2, 2014
@BoyJoanSlayton HA! Which might be why she is so sad right now!
— shonda rhimes (@shondarhimes) April 2, 2014
@lucy_taffinder I think it is possible that both Liv and Fitz have a lot of work to do on themselves before either one of them is ready.
— shonda rhimes (@shondarhimes) April 2, 2014
@binttsalhab Also very possible!
— shonda rhimes (@shondarhimes) April 2, 2014
@FH382 @courtneyhols NO ONE on this show is without wrongdoing.
— shonda rhimes (@shondarhimes) April 2, 2014
@TALConfidential @SpectNScript @spicypink1 @Scandal411 @ronabarbar It wasn't until LATER that Fitz knew it was set up by Big J.
— shonda rhimes (@shondarhimes) April 2, 2014
@renshaw_emma I wonder if you STOP loving someone even if you no longer want to be with them.
— shonda rhimes (@shondarhimes) April 2, 2014
@ellepro82 @spicypink1 @Scandal411 @ronabarbar How does it compromise it?
— shonda rhimes (@shondarhimes) April 2, 2014
@MsTamikaVaughn That is a valid thought. Some people have the right to think that.
— shonda rhimes (@shondarhimes) April 2, 2014
@TrulyScandal PREACH.
— shonda rhimes (@shondarhimes) April 2, 2014
@raye1447 Remember Amanda Tanner!
— shonda rhimes (@shondarhimes) April 2, 2014
@POTUSGladiator We often discuss in writers room that Fitz = power but he is the most powerless because all fight to control him.
— shonda rhimes (@shondarhimes) April 2, 2014
@CarineK Totally valid opinion! Fitz has some growing to do and some old wounds to heal.
— shonda rhimes (@shondarhimes) April 2, 2014
@MsTamikaVaughn SO TRUE!
— shonda rhimes (@shondarhimes) April 2, 2014
@mochaswiiss Love isn't supposed to hurt but many times IT DOES.
— shonda rhimes (@shondarhimes) April 2, 2014
@GladiatorSharon That is possible. In the end.
— shonda rhimes (@shondarhimes) April 2, 2014
@POTUSGladiator RIGHT?!
— shonda rhimes (@shondarhimes) April 2, 2014
@renshaw_emma @AriannaFerrett1 I think if Mellie hadn't stopped he would have tried to control himself more when he met Liv.
— shonda rhimes (@shondarhimes) April 2, 2014
@Janickaa That is very possibly true!
— shonda rhimes (@shondarhimes) April 2, 2014
@MizGrafx @KWsGladiator I like this. Thank you.
— shonda rhimes (@shondarhimes) April 2, 2014
@annie340 @sadiej82 @Scandal411 @ronabarbar What do you think would happen if he did have all the info?
— shonda rhimes (@shondarhimes) April 2, 2014
@CarolGoldin1 @tonygoldwyn He totally DOES. Tony is amazing.
— shonda rhimes (@shondarhimes) April 2, 2014
@ellepro82 No. I think that each character has a perspective and as the show unfolds more and more truths are revealed.
— shonda rhimes (@shondarhimes) April 2, 2014
@OlakeForever Jake and Olivia do have a special kind of honestly between them…
— shonda rhimes (@shondarhimes) April 2, 2014
@jillianbowe I think she feels guilt. I think she feels she doesn't have the right. But how much longer will she feel that way?
— shonda rhimes (@shondarhimes) April 2, 2014
@jessicapetrus Yes, I do.
— shonda rhimes (@shondarhimes) April 2, 2014
@inkari__ You are very observant!
— shonda rhimes (@shondarhimes) April 2, 2014
@btmofthemap We had to pack a lot more into less episodes. There are things we had to let go of for this season.
— shonda rhimes (@shondarhimes) April 2, 2014
@LBMarcie @jessicapetrus I have learned to never say never. But I do not think it will change.
— shonda rhimes (@shondarhimes) April 2, 2014
@artsyChica2012 @OlitzAddict @jillianbowe That would be character growth and I am ALL ABOUT character growth.
— shonda rhimes (@shondarhimes) April 2, 2014
@Cosette_Yo Good observation.
— shonda rhimes (@shondarhimes) April 2, 2014
@MarciJJohnson @ScandalOPsessed @TrulyScandal True.
— shonda rhimes (@shondarhimes) April 2, 2014
Ok, have to run. I have LOVED this conversation with all of you #Gladiators! Truly. You all are the best!
