On Twitter, some thought the ABC drama crossed the line with Olivia Pope’s (Kerry Washington) kidnapping and subsequent auction, drawing comparisons to slavery. As a result, creator Shonda Rhimes has spoken out. WARNING: Spoilers ahead!

ABC's Scandal, which was originally about a Washington, D.C., fixer and her affair with the president, has strayed substantially from its original format in the last few months. The November Season 4 midseason finale, "Where the Sun Don't Shine," ended with Olivia Pope (Kerry Washington) being kidnapped from her apartment. And when the show returned in January with the Season 4 midseason premiere, "Run," Olivia's kidnapping was depicted from her lover Jake's (Scott Foley) perspective — he had stepped into another room during the split second it happened — and Olivia's perspective (which included her being snuck out in a body bag, drugged, and waking up hours, or days, later in a very dilapidated prison cell in what seemed to be a country in Africa).
