Olivia Tells Mellie Why She Left Fitz - Scandal

[kev]

The real Scandal wasn't the situations Liv got clients out of, it was the fact that this smart, accomplished woman was a walking car crash when it came to her personal life.

I think ppl are missing the real point. It’s not that Olivia wanted to be a mistress, but since that’s how it started and she never fully had him to herself, the thought of having him to herself or taking him from Mellie was scary. People get used to what’s comfortable and fear uncertainty. Olivia was comfortable knowing she could have Fitz only during certain times, she knew what it was as a mistress..she feared the unknown of what their relationship would be if she actually had him to herself. Would he still love her the same way, would he do the same thing to her, does she truly want him for him or does she like the idea of being able to sleep with him bc of who he is and be sneaky. So no, I don’t think Olivia wanted to be a mistress. But afraid like she said. Any woman that has been in a similar situation can understand what she meant. An off limits man doesn’t mean he’s married, it could be a boss, or a friends interest, siblings friend etc. it’s easier to sneak with them and have them part time than it is to be their everything full time lol, I hope I make sense to someone.

There's something about Mellie and Olivia's relationship that I just love so much. Like even though Mellie was pissed at her for sleeping with Fitz she genuinely cared for Olivia. They understood one another and really loved and fought for each other.

Two of the best actresses in prime time TV.

For the most decisive woman on tv, olivia sure is very indecisive about relationships. i think its because all her decisions never truly affect her.. until fitz anyway

[Lily-edsc]

A lot of folks are missing the point of this show. Fitz and Olivia's relationship wasn't supposed to be easy or simple. Her personal or love life was the highlight of the show. She could save anything or anyone from any situation but she can't save/fix herself. All of this relationship saga is rooted in the fact that she has issues with emotions and trust due to how she was raised

Mellie's face at 0:40 says it all; Girl. are you serious right now?

[marionjohnson]

Olivia, is indecisive, because of her parents, which speaks for itself! I love Fitz( Tony Goldywn), Lord how I do!.

[faithwatkins]

Remember Olivia told her dad that she don't attach herself to people because at the time she thought her mom died and her dad was hell he was command. She dont know what a traditional strong marriage looks like. She is in love with Fitz but as soon as Fitz made it to where he was available fully she gets scared. Also Mellie stayed because after everything she went through and sacrificed to get Fitz in the white house she wasn't gonna just walk away. She also needed him his platform to get to her political future.

Everyone is getting on her for having commitment issues but do you people not remember her parents.. She didn't exactly have the best people to look up too when it came to relationships. And whatever she thought was true was completely trashed in this whole show.. So yea of course she doesn't want to commit.

Even Mellie knew Olivia and Fitz belong together. They love each other that way in real life 🥰❤️❤️🥰

[TstormVA]

So Olivia really WANTED to be the side chick?

[jolliebearforchrist]

IT'S SO EASY TO WANT ANOTHER WOMAN'S HUSBAND UNTIL YOU HAVE TO KEEP DRYING HIS DIRTY LAUNDRY!

[agentj]

That’s the case for a lot of mistresses. They love it when they find the guy established and cleaned up. But when They have
To be everything, they crap out.

[ChefMireilleGKT]

I hate this Olivia - I want the real Olivia to come back

[tamily]

mellie was like bitch so you basically wasted our time tryna get with a married man but then break up with him right after, what a waste of time bruh

[unbeliebubblex]

Wow, good job Olivia, you took Fitz away from Millie who sacrificed everything to see him in the office (even her dignity), made her look like the villain, and then you basically just tell her that you just wanted to be the mistresses, I don't get Olivia anymore

[mercymallari]

You can fight for fitz, liv when this couple been already separated nd you know that you're not the reason why they got separated .thats an option for you to be with fitz avoiding yoursekf to ruin the rekationship ..yhats how i did before bcoz i have my family too nd i dont wanna hear calling me a home wrecker bcoz doux has his family too ..thats true love sacrificing your own happiness bcoz you dont want to destroy a family.but since they got separated i was too there is a an open opportunity for us to be with nd we are not the cause to ruin those previous relationship that we are supposedly preserving .i really love doux honestly ..hoping he will change for the better ..i am.wishing for to be with him for a lifetime serving nd worshipping God together happily 😎😍

How do people not see how much Oliva deteriorates the more she got closer to getting a chance to be with the president?? That sht blows me. I mean her face, her demeanor. It is like someone whose wounds are open, infected, and sore.

[huguettekouame]

OLIVIA HAS MENTAL ISSUES
IN THIS SCENE MELLIE IS LIKE BE HER THERAPIST .
