People

"Hey! Anyone having feelings over Variety piece," Pompeo tweeted Saturday, reacting to the headlines over her comments in a Variety conversation with Taraji P. Henson that Grey's was "toxic" and a "disaster behind the scenes." "It’s not worth getting yourself upset over not singling anyone out..as a show we all had a part to play in the environment me included..as many workplaces do..We changed that story. That’s the story we all have the power to change!" She added in follow-up tweets: "None of my comments in print are ever meant to shade anyone. That’s so not productive. My words about my journey are always meant to inspire and reflect. My shade is very obvious when I’m not subtle about it you all should know that!! I’m aware how much love there is for this show and these characters...no one has more love than me..I’ve dedicated half my life to it. The show has been a blessing for us all in different ways. The negative vibes...not healthy....and ummmm a doctah"
