Shonda Rhimes Says Her Daughter ‘Never Watched’ ‘Grey’s Anatomy’: ‘Not Interested’

Back in 2022, the producer shared an interview with WSJ magazine that her three daughters have “never watched” the ABC medical drama.

“My youngest daughters are 8 and 9, so they’re too young to watch it or even care, which is good,” Rhimes said at the time of Emerson and Beckett.

Her older daughter Harper isn’t a fan of the show either, but her friends have given her a drink or two.

“I have a 19-year-old who thinks it’s horrible that I wrote a show that all her friends have seen multiple times. And so she’s never seen it. And I have to say, I think that might be the best compliment ever,” Rhimes said.

“I think of it as if 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’s a very good thing,” added the mother of three.
