Shonda L. Rhimes Resigns From Kennedy Center

By Francisco Salazar

The chaos continues at the Kennedy Center. Shonda L. Rhimes has resigned from the Kennedy Center.

The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that the “Grey’s Anatomy” showrunner and Shondaland CEO was the treasurer of the arts institution.

Her resignation comes as President J. Trump was voted in as the Chairman of the Board.

It also comes as Deborah F. Rutter, who had been the Kennedy Center’s third president, was fired and Ben Folds resigned as artistic adviser to the National Symphony Orchestra.

Trump has installed Ric Grenell as the interim Executive Director, a man who has no experience in the arts. The board has also elected Trump loyalists Susie Wiles, Dan Scavino, Allison Lutnick, Lynda Lomangino, Mindy Levine, Usha Vance, Pamela Gross, John Falconetti, Cheri Summerall, Sergio Gor, Emilia May Fanjul, Patricia Duggan, and Dana Blumberg.
