Remember that little fight that happened on the set of Grey’s Anatomy on October 9th? Actor Isaiah Washington, who started the fight and made some not-so-nice comments, has issued an apology to People magazine about the incident. “I sincerely regret my actions and the unfortunate use of words during the recent incident on-set,” Washington, said. “Both are beneath my own personal standards. ... I have nothing but respect for my coworkers ... and have apologized personally to everyone involved.”

Perhaps the best move to smooth the waters, since Washington uttered a homophobic remark during the dispute with Patrick Dempsey. The October 19th announcement by co-star T.R. Knight that he is gay confirmed for many that the object of Washington’s slur was Knight. Grey’s co-star Katherine Heigl appeared on Tuesday’s Ellen DeGeneres show and called the fight “some scuffle… There was a little burst of testosterone in the room, and then within five minutes ... they were totally fine.” Interestingly enough, Washington was to tape an interview with DeGeneres for Wednesday’s show, but canceled due to a scheduling conflict.

Apparently Washington, Dempsey and Knight have made their peace. Show creator Shonda Rhimes told People “The whole affair was four and a half seconds of one day in three years. I feel like we’ve already moved on.”
