“How Embarrassing”: Denzel Washington’s Daughter Katia Walks Red Carpet With Wife Towering Over Her
Height is nothing but a measurement to Denzel Washington’s daughter and her wife.
As 37-year-old Katia walked the carpet at the Critics Choice Association’s 7th Annual Celebration of Black Cinema & Television, she brought along her spouse, who clearly loomed over her.
And while the height difference didn’t seem to spark a reaction from those at the event, the Internet, unsurprisingly, had a few words to say.
Highlights
- Katia Washington and her wife were met with polarizing reactions online over their height difference.
- Katia and her wife are 5'2 and 6'4, respectively, according to Sandra Rose.
- Katia Washington is a producer, who has worked on films like 'The Equalizer' and 'Fences'.

The somewhat harsh opinions rolled in, shortly after news contributor and author Oli London posted a video of the two smiling for paparazzi on X.
“Denzel Washington’s daughter walks the red carpet with her wife towering over her,” read the caption.
One of the top comments, with over 45K views, was simply: “Omg. How embarrassing.”
“I’m speechless 😶,” another wrote.
A third joked, “She said ‘f–ck reaching sh–t in the top cabinet’ lol.”
Comments were divided, with some only able to focus on the stark height difference

“Awww the height difference is so cute 😭🤣,” one person laughed.
Some also didn’t fail to point out that Katia’s wife had a very different choice of footwear.
A commenter defended, “Yea, but one is wearing heels and the other isn’t.”
“‘I asked her nicely not to wear 3 inch heels,’” a netizen impersonated.

According to Sandra Rose, Katia and her wife, Colleen Wilson, are 5’2 and 6’4, respectively, and the latter was once a former ballet dancer.
The 37-year-old came out of the closet around 2017, and her father has been vocal about fully accepting his daughter’s lifestyle.

While not an actress, Katia is a film producer who’s worked on multiple well-known projects such as The Equalizer, Malcolm & Marie, and Fences, according to IMDb.
Her three other siblings—Olivia, Malcolm, and John David—are all equally immersed in the entertainment industry.
While this is certainly an impressive feat, Denzel mentioned to Esquire that he is most proud of his children for their hearts and personalities during a Gladiator II interview.

“When I think of what I’m proudest of, anything I’ve accomplished doesn’t even come to mind,” he said last month. “It’s our children: They’re good people. They know right from wrong. What else can you ask for, you know?
“That alone: all four of them, healthy and in their right mind. Enough said.”

His words echo the lessons he had hoped to teach one day.
“I try to teach my children there are going to be obstacles,” Denzel said in a 2008 appearance on the Early Show. “Someone may not like you just because they don’t like themselves. But, don’t you get bogged down.”
“I heard she is an avid climber,” joked a netizen

If it was a tall man with a short wife would you say the same thing?

If her spouse was a man, would people be losing their S**T over the height difference? I'm 5'3" and my husband was 6'2". No one batted an eye.

I just had a flashback to middle school being called "Jolly Green Giant." Gawd, I hate people.

My brother and I have a similar height difference. No one comments. A former colleague and his wife also had a greater height difference. Is it because it's two women, and they want to poke fun that the person dressed in a more feminine way is taller? - - I have one comment on this couple; they look happy. I wish everyone in a romantic relationship was as happy as this couple looks.
