Shonda Rhimes Shares Her Daughter Has Started Watching 'Grey's Anatomy': 'My Brain Is Breaking'
Shonda Rhimes is going to have to be on-call for the extra feels coming into her home!
On Tuesday, the Shondaland founder shared that her daughter has began watchingGrey's Anatomy.
"My not so tiny human started watching @greysabc for the first time yesterday. My brain is breaking. 🤯 I am dead. DEAD. But so glad she's getting to see the women her mom created. #GreysAnatomy," Rhimes wrote.
Along with the caption, Rhimes posted a picture of her daughter sitting at the kitchen counter with a bowl of pasta as she watches the series. The television producer didn't share exactly which episode her daughter was on -- or if she's been able to ask any of the questions longtime viewers of the show have had for years.
Rhimes is the mother of daughters Harper, 21, Emerson, 11, and Beckett, 10.
Grey's was created by Rhimes in 2005. The 54-year-old executive worked as the series' showrunner, writer and executive producer until she stepped down from the show in 2015. In addition to the Emmy-winning series, Rhimes created How to Get Away With Murder and Scandal -- all which aired on ABC under her Shondaland production company.
In 2022, Rhimes admitted that her children had never watched the medical drama, and she was fine with that.
"My youngest daughters are 8 and 9, so they're far too young to watch it or even care, which is good," she toldWall Street Journal magazine. "And I have a 19-year-old who finds it horrifying that I've written a show that all of her friends have seen multiple times. And so she has never seen it. And I have to say, I think that might be the best compliment ever. I think about it like, her mother wrote a show that tells all her friends what to think about love and sex. So she's not interested in watching it, and I think that that's a very good thing."
The hit medical drama, starring Ellen Pompeo, Chandra Wilson and James Pickens Jr., is coming up on its 20th season and showing no signs of slowing down.
Last year, Rhimes spoke with ET, where she opened up on the right time to pull the plug on the series, and when she will know it's right.
"I knew how that story will end when we were in season 6, in season 7 and maybe season 10, and after that I just gave up because I would write those endings and the show just kept going," Rhimes said. "I'll have a feeling the same way I knew Scandal [was going to end]. I'll have a feeling of like, 'We've done what we needed to do here.'"
