Kerry Washington is opening up about her “very real fear” of the cops being called on her and her family.
In a new episode of the “Jemele Hill is Unbothered” podcast, the actress spoke candidly about her fears for her family and how her high-profile career doesn’t mean that they are immune to racism.
“It’s crazy when somebody says like, ‘How dare you, Kerry Washington, have a voice. You’re a so-privileged Hollywood actor person,'” said the “American Son” star, who is a mom to son Caleb Kelechi, 4, and daughter Isabelle Amarachi, 6.

“No matter what I do, no matter how many Emmy nominations, I am still scared at times to scooter in neighbourhoods with my kids where I feel like somebody could call the cops,” she conceded.
“Because that cop may never have seen ‘Scandal'” added the actress. “I still have that very real fear.”
