Ahhh, Mellie Grant.
Is thereanyone else on TVwe love to hate (or just plain hate) more thanScandal’sresident mean girl?
Mellie can be nasty, but she certainly has a soft side.
ABC
Below, a few times we just couldn’t help but root for Mellie.
Here’s to you, lady.
May you finally escape from being regularly stomped beneath your ex-husband’s giant feet.
(FYI, friendsspoilers ahead!)
When Fitz calls her position as First Lady “ornamental.”
You know he chose those wordsjustto hurt her.
When Fitz destroys her relationship with Andrew Nichols.
(Natch, this all went down several entire seasonsbeforeAndrew Nichols launched a vicious revenge plot against Liv.)
When she’s criticized for turning into “Sad Mellie” after her son’s death.
Girl deserves a break.
Every time Fitz took a weeks-long break from actually running the country to pout about missing Olivia.
Guess who had to take the reins behind the scenes?
Our girl Mellie, that’s who.
Clearly, life as a political wife is no piece of cake.
Everything about this is devastating.
Each time Olivia walks into the White House for a private meeting with Fitz.
Mellie has to stomach what’sreallygoing onand what life really thinks of her.
When she leads an incredible, hours-long filibuster in support of Planned Parenthood.
Don’t tell me you’re able to’t do this."
