"How to Get Away with Murder" showrunner Shonda Rhimes reacted to name calling by New York Times critic Alessandra Stanley, as her new series starring Viola Davis has gotten good reviews.

In a series of tweets, "How to Get Away with Murder" showrunner Shonda Rhimes responded to the piece by the Times critic as the executive producer wrote: "Confused why @nytimes critic doesn't know identity of CREATOR of show she's reviewing. @petenowa did u know u were 'an angry black woman'?"

She added: "Apparently we can be "angry black women" together, because I didn't know I was one either! @petenowa #LearnSomethingNewEveryday."

"Final thing: (then I am gonna do some yoga): how come I am not "an angry black woman" the many times Meredith (or Addison!) rants? @nytimes," the "Grey's Anatomy" creator said.

Before signing off, she couldn't help but say the final word: "Wait. I'm" angry" AND a ROMANCE WRITER?!! I'm going to need to put down the internet and go dance this one out. Because ish is getting real."

"How to Get Away with Murder" showrunner Shonda Rhimes apparently took offense by the fact that she was called an "angry black woman" by Stanley, said NY Daily News.

The critic started her NY Times piece with this paragraph: "When Shonda Rhimes writes her autobiography, it should be called 'How to Get Away With Being an Angry Black Woman.'"

The phrase is taken from the latest show from Shonda Rhimes starring Viola Davis, whose pilot episode has gotten good reviews.

"Viola Davis commits full force to her leading lady, Annalise Keating," Merrill Barr wrote in a Forbes piece. "Even better, though, is the fact that Keating is not painted in any way as 'clean-cut.' She's mean, unforgiving and unrelenting, and this is what makes her fascinating."

"'How to Get Away with Murder' isn't high art, but by wearing that reality on its sleeve, it ends up being one of the season's best new shows," the author added.
