Scandal producer and creator Shonda Rhimes isn't afraid of saying what she feels that could potentially get her into trouble. Not because there is a real Olivia Pope to save her but because she thinks that she is right.

After slamming Fox News host Mike Huckabee over his comments about women, birth control, and Obamacare. The 44-year old award winning TV producer is back slamming an organization once again. This time, the one that she's slamming is the Diversity Awards, which according to it swebsite is "a black tie event which celebrates the excellence achievements of grass-root communities that tackle issues in today's society, giving them recognition for their dedication and hard work."

Rhimes, along with Scandal Executive Producer Betsy Beers were given the Diversity Award at the Directors Guild of America Awards Saturday night in Los Angeles. In her speech, she said that they are grateful and pissed off by the award at the same time because it only raises inequality issues.

When I heard I was getting a Diversity Award, I was really, truly, profoundly honored. I began to get calls from Variety, The Hollywood Reporter, etc., and I was asked to comment on the award. Asked how good I felt about the award. Asked if it made me feel like I was doing the right thing. Asked if it had been a struggle making diversity happen on my cast and crews. While I'm still really and truly profoundly honored to receive this award, but I was also a little pissed off," Rhimes said in her speech. "So was Betsy. So over many, many, many bottles of wine we discussed this."

We're a little pissed off because there still needs to be an award. Like, there's such a lack of people hiring women and minorities that when someone does it on a regular basis, they are given an award."

It's not because of a lack of talent. It's because of a lack of access. People hire who they know. If it's been a white boys club for 70 years, that's a lot of white boys hiring one another. And I don't believe that that happens out of any specific racism or sexism or prejudice. People hire their friends. They hire who they know. It's comfortable. You want to be successful, you don't want to take any chances, you don't want to rock the boat by hiring people of color because, well, look at us," she said. "Both Betsy and I like the world that we work in to look like the world that we live in. Different voices make for different visions. Different visions make for something original. Original is what the public is starving for."

Although she questioned the award, she and Beer still received a standing ovation from the audience.
