Kerry Washington catches up with Tyler Perry as he makes appearance at her book tour stop in Atlanta… as she promotes new memoir

Kerry Washington shared a video taken during her ongoing promotional tour for her memoir, Thicker Than Water, to Instagram account on Saturday.

In the clip, the 46-year-old actress was accompanied by Tyler Perry as they stepped into a backstage area after finishing up a public appearance.

The actress — who recently opened up about her past celebrity crush — looked gorgeous in a light brown leather dress as she celebrated the end of another successful round of promotion.

Washington also donned a fashionable pair of high-heeled shoes while she posed for the camera.

The Primetime Emmy Award-winning performer’s gorgeous brunette hair fell onto her shoulders and paired well with the lighter tone of her clothing.

Perry, 54, opted for a white shirt worn underneath an olive green button-up shirt as he spent time with the actress.

The producer, who moderated Washington’s promotional appearance, completed his look with slim-fitting pants and light brown shoes.

Thicker Than Water was released to the public earlier this week, and the actress enthusiastically promoted her book on Instagram prior to its release.

The performer’s memoir deals with numerous topics, including her dealing with the discovery that her father, Earl Washington, was not her biological parent.

The Django Unchained actress also opened up about having an abortion performed during her early 20s, her history with activism and her management of a past eating disorder, among other issues.

Washington spoke about working on her memoir in an interview with Vanity Fair, where she recalled that she had to allow herself to reveal the deeper parts of her personality to the public while writing her book.

‘If people don’t like the movie, I’m like, “Oh, yeah, talk to the director”…It’s much more vulnerable than any other creative endeavor I’ve ever taken on,’ she said. 

The Scandal star then stated that she was particularly grateful for the support of her parents as she drafted her memoir.
