Shonda Rhimes lashed out on Twitter Friday, taking New York Times writer Alessandra Stanley to task for suggesting the prolific exec producer (Scandal, Grey’s Anatomy) should title her autobiography “How to Get Away with Being an Angry Black Woman.” One of Rhimes’ posts pointed out that in fact a white male, Pete Nowalk, is the creator of the upcoming drama, How to Get Away with Murder (debuting Thursday, September 25 at 10p) that Stanley was reviewing.
