House of Cards Star Says DC More Corrupt than Hollywood

Robin Wright, who stars in the Netflix series House of Cards, told Capitol File magazine that Washington D.C. is more corrupt than Hollywood.

Wright was asked by the luxury lifestyle magazine whether the stories on House of Cards, which feature reporters who have sex with their news sources, are an accurate reflection of what happens in Washington, D.C. She responded: “Oh yeah … D.C. is more corrupt than Hollywood. It really is. It’s more sleazy than Hollywood … how much infidelity goes on.”

Wright told The Hill earlier in February that Hollywood and Washington D.C. are quite similar, adding that politics is great theater and it is completely “transactional.”
