Kerry Washington is taking a break from social media. "It's time for me to take a teeny break from social media," so the Olivia Pope of "Scandal" announces to her online devotees on Instagram.

"Feeling called to be a bit more quiet and still. Not sure how long it'll last but don't worry, I'll be back soon enough. This space has become such a community. I'm very grateful. Thank you," she continues. "I'll be thinking of youz and I'm sending love to you wherever you are... #MermaidGram."
