Kerry Washington has made it clear that she doesn’t speak about her personal life, but she’ll touch on it in her own subtle ways.
The Scandal star appeared for her talk about the New Rules of Social Stardom during the 2016 SXSW Music, Film + Interactive Festival held at the Austin Convention Center on Sunday, and decided to address the on-going rumors that her marriage to retired NFL hubby Nnamdi Asomugha is headed towards divorce.

‘I think and this is something Reese Witherspoon has talked about a lot it’s a little different for me because I don’t talk about my personal life,’ Washington explained.
‘Social media has actually been great for [other celebrities’] relationships with the weeklies or the gossip sites because people say things and they say, ‘That’s not true! Just so you know, that’s BS!’ I say ‘BS’ because it’s Sunday. So I’m thinking in some ways, it’s been great because people are able to maintain their voice.’

‘If I don’t talk about my personal life, it means I don’t talk about my personal life,’ she continued. ‘That means not only did I not tell you when I was getting married, it also means if somebody has rumors about what’s going on in my marriage, I don’t refute them, because I don’t talk about my personal life.’
Not only does Washington refuse to discuss her home life, the actress doesn’t show it off either. While she frequently shows up on the red carpet alone, the notoriously private pair did make a rare public appearance at last year’s Met Ball in New York City.
