Shonda Rhimes and her Scandal star Kerry Washington are the focus of Sunday's all-new episode of Oprah's Next Chapter, and in addition to talking about the importance of their addictive Thursday night series, Rhimes looks back on one of her more frustrating professional moments.
In 2008, Katherine Heigl notoriously pulled her name from Emmy contention, saying that she didn't feel the material she was given that year warranted consideration. "On some level, it stung," Rhimes tells Oprah Winfrey. "But on some level I was not surprised. When people show you who they are, believe them. I carry that with me a lot. It has served me well."
Winfrey then goes on to ask Rhimes what accomplishment she's most proud of. "I'm most proud of the fact that I have figured out how to exist as both a creative person and artist and a businesswoman and a manager," she says. "Because those two things do not go together. For a long time I really had a hard time with the idea that I was supposed to be this person who lived inside her head and created things, but also managed a bunch of people and had to lead a group of people."
Rhimes adds, "But those two things came together, and I'm really proud of how that works now."
Check out a sneak peek clip and tune in to Oprah's Next Chapter every Sunday at 9 p.m. on OWN.

I keep hoping they bring her back for Alex but that won't happen
I miss Izzie and I'm still bitter about Izzie and Alex.
I just don't think it's as one sided as Shonda presents it.
What Katherine did was unprofessional, but when your cast starts saying what EVERYONE watching the show is thinking maybe you should take their advice into consideration. She turned Grey's into a glorified soap opera.
actually i was like hey! she has brown eyes and blonde hair like me! i'm not alone! tbh.

it's such a pretty rare look
Mousey-haired, grey-eyed, pale me envies their luck in the genetic lottery tbh.
Your pic is from bonnie and clyde right?
That being said, I don't like Katherine at all. She tends to bite the hand that feeds her, then tends to take on more roles that are just as bad, if not worse, then the very roles she bitches about.
