FIRST LOOK: 'Scandal' Season 3

The time is here, well not quite here but almost here, for ABC's Scandal's third season to premiere. 

This season I'm sure just about everyone is looking forward to finding out more about Olivia Pope's father, Rowan, played by the guy that Whitley Gilbert left at the altar for Dwayne Wayne none other than Joe Morton.

Anywho, check out Season 3's trailer featuring a shitload of things we have no idea about yet other than the fact that Fitz still loves Olivia, Mellie is vindictive and there's a problem for Olivia to solve.

Speaking of scandals, Scandal creator Shonda Rhimes actually had to issue a statement this week stating that she does not condone infidelity/adultry after ABC Betrayl producer David Zabel spoke publicly about Scandal portraying a female cheater well.

Check out what Miss Shonda had to say.

“I don’t feel like we’re making adultery acceptable. We weren’t setting out to make adultery OK. To me it’s not about adultery or not adultery. We’re telling the story of these two characters who very specifically have this kind of relationship [...] we tell all sides. So while there are times when you’re like, ‘Fitz (Tony Goldwyn) and Liv are wonderful and I want them to be together,’ there are also times you think, ‘Fitz is scum and he shouldn’t be cheating on his wife.’ And there are times you think, ‘Olivia should go off and find herself somebody who’s single.’ I like the fact that everybody feels this big debate. That’s fantastic, because that’s the point. We’re not giving a judgement on it one way or the other.”

The time Shonda Rhimes had to waste with this evident statement could have been spent writing more Scandal material. Smh...

Tune in October 3 at 10pm for the season 3
