Kerry Washington in Heat for Tweet
Kerry Washington receives backlash for comment, assuming that DMX and Prince Phillip will cross paths in the afterlife. It appears to be unsympathetic after both notable men’s recent deaths.
“Anybody else wondering what DMX and His Royal Highness Prince Philip are chatting about together at the pearly gates?” she wrote in a since deleted tweet. “My love to both their families. May they both Rest in Peace.”
