The 42-year-old "Scandal" actress says she has no problems admitting that her other half is viewed as the better half and gets more positive attention than her, reported Contactmusic.
"When I'm out with Ellen, fans come up to us and say, 'Oh, my God, Ellen, you're an angel. And then they look at me and go, 'And you're horrible!' It's funny," she said.
Married since 2008, Portia has recently taken up a role in Kerry Washington's "Scandal" and plays a villain in the series, a role she said a lot of the public believe she plays at home anyway.
"I was a fan for years! I get to work in the Oval and have scenes with Fitz (Tony Goldwyn). He yells at me, and I'm like, 'It's pretty darn cool as a fan and an actress," she said.
