Prolific showrunner Shonda Rhimes has always received praised for her efforts in changing the landscape for Black women in television, but a recent article by New York Times TV critic Alessandra Stanley claims Rhimes is merely an “angry black woman.” Rhimes is now responding to Stanley’s controversial article, entitled “Wrought In Their Creator’s Image,” and her reaction is more confused and amused than angry.

“When Shonda Rhimes writes her autobiography, it should be called How to Get Away With Being an Angry Black Woman,” wrote Stanley. “On Thursday, Ms. Rhimes will introduce How to Get Away With Murder, yet another network series from her production company to showcase a powerful, intimidating black woman.”

While How to Get Away With Murder does come from Rhimes’ production company, Stanley might not realize that the show was actually created by a White man named Pete Nowalk.

“Confused why @nytimes critic doesn’t know identity of CREATOR of show she’s reviewing. [Pete Nowalk] did u know u were “an angry black woman”? Apparently we can be “angry black women” together, because I didn’t know I was one either,” Rhimes posted on Twitter while reading the article. “Final thing: (then I am gonna do some yoga): how come I am not “an angry black woman” the many times Meredith (or Addison!) rants?”

Stanley went on to label Rhimes a romance writer who “understands the need for more spice than sugar.”

“Wait. I’m” angry” AND a ROMANCE WRITER?!! I’m going to need to put down the internet and go dance this one out. Because ish is getting real,” joked Rhimes.

Chicago Defender’s Danielle Young expressed her frustrations with Stanley’s New York Times article, writing that it is the result of a major news publication doesn’t failing to get a Black writer to write on a topic which is important to the Black community:

“Shonda writes characters who run the gamut of emotions, from angry to lustful to depressed and more. Angry is not the only emotion they exhibit. What would have been more interesting in this NY Times piece, and more accurate to read was that Rhimes has given Black women on TV more depth and has created a space for characters to be who they are, regardless of their skin color.”
