Scandal Trivia

It becomes obvious where the inspiration for Scandal came from when you learn about co-Executive Producer Judy Smith's background. She has worked in real life as a consultant for people and companies who have found themselves in crisis situations that made national or worldwide news! Some of her clients included Clinton White House intern "Monica Lewinsky", the family of Chandra Levy who was murdered after an affair with married Congressman Gary Condit (who has been cleared of the murder), Michael Vick after he was caught participating in an illegal dog-fighting ring and British Pretoleum (BP) after one of its offshore drilling rigs in the Gulf of Mexico exploded resulting in the deaths of 11 people/injuring 16 others/and doing massive environmental damage to much of the Gulf Coast.

Scandal was created by Shonda Rhimes who (as of the fall 2014-2015 season) has also created "Grey's Anatomy" and "How To Get Away With Murder"!
