JOIN USMichelle bans actress for flirting with Obama
Michelle Obama has reportedly banned actress Kerry Washington from the White House for being “too flirty” with President Barack Obama.
The First Lady was said to have a “watch list” of women that were to be kept away from her 50-year-old husband - but it’s a story one White House official claims is totally false.
According to an article in the National Enquirer, the 48-year-old wife of Obama planned to keep the actress at arm’s length, despite Washington’s honorary post on the President’s Committee on the Arts and Humanities.
A White House official said that the story is “100 per cent false,” The Daily Mail reported.
Kerry Washington, 35, is a keen Democrat and campaigned for Obama in the 2008 presidential race.
There were striking parallels between the explosive claims and Washington’s latest role in a new ABC series called “Scandal”.
She plays character Olivia Pope, the tough boss in a crisis management firm, protecting the public images of the Washington political elite. In the first episode, it was revealed that Pope had a long-running affair with the fictional American president Fitzgerald Grant. The National Enquirer also named Scarlett Johansson as another “flirt” who made Michelle’s banned list.
