Scandal Season 5 Episode 16 Recap: A Step Too Far?

Did Olivia Pope finally go too far on Scandal Season 5 Episode 16?

WATCH SCANDAL ONLINE!

Following Susan’s stunning victory in the first Republican debate, the Oval Office hopeful found herself in OPA’s crosshairs this week

For what reason?

Not only was Susan never technically married to her so-called husband (the veteran who died serving in Afghanistan… whose sad story clinched her win), but he wasn’t even the father of her daughter.

Nope. That title belongs to Ronnie, Susan’s high school sweetheart who is currently behind bars on drug charges.

Oh, yes. Talk about a potentially major scandal. (Sorry.)

Where did Olivia come into all of this?

Going against Fitz’s advice, which he passed along via an epic fight, she leaked the paternity tests to the public in order to screw Susan over.

But this led to Ronnie hanging himself in prison on the night of a bombshell television interview.

Olivia took the suicide hard, sharing a friendly drink with her important ex-boyfriend to close the hour.

Elsewhere this week:

• Mellie actually appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live for a round of Mean Tweets. HA! She required a pep talk from Marcus in order to do so.


• Despite Cyrus’ warnings, Alex leaked Olivia’s tip about Edison’s time in rehab, which led to a great deal of embarrassment for both candidates… along with a promotion for Cyrus.


• Edison’s camp succeeded in convincing a nurse to fib about the “false” claims, sending Frankie into a total rage that concluded with his brother getting a demotion. 


• Over at Davis headquarters, Rowan the type of hell that only he can after Edison attempted to blame Olivia for the rehab issue, much to the amusement of Jake. He just sat there, munching away on some chicken.


• Hollis proposed the building of a “wall” at the debate and said some very sexist things. Hmmm… we wonder is this candidate is based on a certain Republican front-runner?

Jordan Clarkson and Kendall Jenner: New Couple Alert!

Kendall Jenner try to distance herself from her family for professional purposes.

But the 20-year old model clearly has at least one thing in common with her famous sisters: the same taste in men.

According to multiple reports, Kendall is following in the romantic footsteps of Khloe Kardashian and Kim Kardashian by dating a professional athlete.

His name is Jordan Clarkson and he’s a second-year point guard for the Los Angeles Lakers.

“They have been secretly dating for months and they are super into each other,” a source tells People Magazine. “He is super sweet and a total gentleman and Kendall loves that.”

Hey, what girl would not love that?

Clarkson is averaging 15.5 points per game this season, while shooting 35% from three-point range.

He can also go strong to the hole, which we don’t even mean as a metaphor for sex.

Jenner and Clarkson were seen out at West Hollywood hot spot The Nice Guy on Wednesday night after the Lakers beat the Miami Heat 102–100.

They arrived together, but left the establishment separately.

Jenner, whose love life is quieter than anyone else’s in her family, has most recently been linked to Harry Styles. 

The stars vacationed and got very cozy together on a yacht in Anguilla in December. But the relationship never seemed especially serious.

Clarkson, meanwhile, apparently has game on and off the court.

He supposedly dated supermodel Chanel Iman in the past.

We just hope he’s careful because… well… check out the list below:

We can say this as a tease: during the first Republican debate of the new campaign season, damaging information found its way into the hands of Olivia and company.

So they set out to determine whether or not it was valid.

Elsewhere, David had to deal with certain consequences and ramifications in his romantic life, while Cyrus forged ahead with his own agenda.

Jennifer Lopez Thinks She"s "Chunky" in This Selfie, Raven-Symone Can"t Even

Jennifer Lopez is the hot cheerleader in high school who complains about being fat while the average Marys clutch their burritos whilst sneering from the sidelines.

The pop singer stopped by The View this morning and really had the ladies there blowing their tops over some comments she made about her own physique.

Referring to some photos J. Lo recently posted, host Sunny Hostin complimented the star’s enviable figure and asked what she does to stay in shape.

Jen examined the pic above and took a shot at self-deprecation.

“I was a little bit on the chunky side there as you can see,” she said.

And with that, Raven-Symone threw her hands in the air and walked away from the table while Whoopi Goldberg got up, opened up her jacket and approached Jennifer.

“Do we need to show you what chunky looks like?” Whoopi asked her. “This is a little bit on the chunky side.”

Jennifer tried to backpedal, but no one was buying it.

“That’s not what I meant,” she said. “I fluctuate. I go up and down like seven or eight pounds all the time.”

“So like when I’m doing the show, I go down and get slim,” she explained. “And then when I stop I’m, like, eating and I get chunky. Not chunky, but you know, I feel it.”

These words prompted Whoopi to stand up and flash once again, as if to say, perhaps you didn’t hear me the first time. 

Jennifer revealed that she does a ton of cardio to prepare for her high-impact show in Las Vegas – the one in which she got so crazy on stage she actually split her pants during a performance.

Luckily, she’s got a nice booty, so at the end of the day, it was kind of a treat.
