Crisis Management with Scandal’s Kerry Washington at Glamour’s October Cover-Shoot

(jazzy retro music)

Hi, Glamour fans.

I'm Kerry Washington, and while

I only play a crisis manager on television, on Scandal,

today, I'm here to weigh in on

some of your most pressing problems.

Bring it.

I think the key to that situation

is to have a really good cleaners.

(laughs)

I'm sure there's something else in your home

that could get it out,

but because I don't drink, I don't know what it is.

So I'm gonna call my mom and get back to you,

but in the meantime,

make sure you have a really good cleaners.

That would be really awkward!

Bad.

Uncomfortable.

Putting myself in the other person's shoes,

which could often lead to a solution...

I would definitely wanna know

if my dude was being shady.

Shady.

I would cry, probably, to be totally honest.

I'd be really upset.

(laughs)

But I think I would confront them.

I think I would confront them.

I think I would say,

listen, I heard that there's this rumor going around,

I heard that you started it.

What up with that?

(laughs)

I...

Don't know.

I would say, maybe you should have been honest

from the beginning.
