Bunheads Showrunner Amy Sherman-Palladino Responds to Shonda Rhimes’ Critical Tweet (VIDEO)
 )
Last week (June 11), Grey's Anatomy creator Shonda Rhimes took a stand against ABC Family’s Bunheads, tweeting about the show’s lack of any minority characters. Now, Bunheads creator (and Gilmore Girls creator) Amy Sherman-Palladino has responded to Shonda’s comments.
Although Amy doesn’t respond directly to the race topic, the showrunner seems to have interpreted Shonda’s comment as an attack on her as a woman.
“I’ve always felt that women, in a general sense, have never supported other women the way they should … I think it’s a shame, but to me, it is what it is,” Amy says. “I wouldn’t do it. I wouldn’t go after another woman. I, frankly, wouldn’t go after another showrunner.”
Speaking more specifically about Shonda, she also says, “Look, I’m not going to get into a pissing match with Shonda Rhimes, because she has 15,000 shows on the air, and she’s doing just fine for herself.”
