First Lady Michelle Obama Admits She Binge-Watched 'Scandal' Amidst Rumours That She's Getting A Divorce With Her Husband

US President Barack Obama has earlier revealed his favorite TV shows. These include the ones that have a touch of reality. Among them are The Wire, House of Cards, and Breaking Bad. The choice of America's 44th president is pretty surprising, knowing how badly politicians are portrayed on the Wire and House of Cards.

If Pres. Barack Obama wants fiction-touches-reality concepts, her wife Michelle, feels the same. However, her choice of TV series seems a bit off with the way their relationship is intrigued by the press these days. Talking to TV host Ryan Seacrest in On Air, the 50-year old First Lady said that she binge-watch AMC's Scandal while on a long flight to Hawaii during the holidays.

"I hadn't watched it until this past vacation -- we went to Hawaii so I had a long flight -- so I watched all the seasons," Mrs. Obama told interviewer Ryan Seacrest. "I caught up on Scandal, I never watched it."

Scandal, which stars Kerry Washington, is about the life of Olivia Pope, a crisis manager who has to deal with various forms of Washington mayhem. This includes her affair with the president of the United States (played by Tony Goldwyn).

"I love Kerry Washington, she is amazing," Mrs. Obama said. "So it makes the show fun, it really does, it was fun to watch."

Scandal is about infidelity in the White House and Michelle's addiction over the AMC drama could be a proof that her relationship with the current US President remains intact.

Almost two weeks ago, the Daily Mail reported that tabloids have claimed that the country's most powerful couple's life is on the rocks and that they are getting a divorce.

Under the headline Obama Divorce Bombshell!, the National Enquirer claims their 21-year marriage has dissolved in a string of ugly fights that were prompted by the Mandela memorial incident and - far more outrageously - Mrs Obama's discovery that Secret Service bodyguards had been covering up infidelity on her husband's part.

Very Scandal-ish, right?

Mrs Obama, the Enquirer claims, intends to stand by her husband until his presidency is over, at which time he will move back to Hawaii, where he grew up, and she will stay in Washington with their children.

The First Lady did flew to Hawaii, however, according to Mr. Obama's spokesman, it was just a present by the president to his wife.

'If you have kids, you know that telling your spouse they can spend a week away from home is actually a big present,' said his spokesman.
