Isaiah Washington Speaks Out on Current Grey’s Anatomy Controversy
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, ABC, Grey's Anatomy, News
There’s nothing like a controversial topic to get get Isaiah Washington talking. Although he has nothing to do with the current Grey’s Anatomy controversy, the former ABC star heard the word “gay” and felt he had to speak up.
Washington - who was famously axed from the show after using a homophobic slur in reference to T.R. Knight. - said he finds it “disgusting” to see what is happening to a show he supposedly still loves and cares about. (He still watches?) Since Isaiah knows more than well what it feels like to be let go abruptly from a series, he is now speaking out in defense of Brooke Smith, the actress who may have been cut because of her lesbian storyline.
“I looked at a brilliant actress, whom I have adored since I first saw her in Silence of the Lambs. For her to be treated this way, I find very interesting,” Washington told TV Guide. He went on to say that he found the timing of the announcement to be particularly sad. “The fact is that, just before the holidays, you have a mother, a wonderful actress removed from a steady income without the proper reasoning behind it…” he added. (Now if Knight was the one let go, would he still be saying the same thing?)

According to Variety, Jesse Alexander and Jeph Loeb’s firings were a result of bad numbers all around. In addition to the show’s disappointing Monday results, production continuously exceeds the $4 million weekly budget.
This news comes on the heels of other programming decisions recently made by the Peacock network. Just last week, NBC altered its Wednesday and Friday lineups.

The Insider Drops Pat O’Brien…Again
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Syndication, Gossip
After three strikes, Pat O’Brien is officially out at The Insider.
While no official reason was given for the host’s long overdue exit, many believe Pat was axed yesterday as result of a controversial email. An email that became the topper on the 60-year-old’s troubled history with the entertainment program.
Back in 2005, O’Brien was forced to explain himself on a primetime Dr. Phil after sexually explicit voicemails he recorded were leaked. Then in February of this year, he was readmitted into a treatment facility for problems with alcohol abuse. Although it was believed he would be fired after that second public embarrassment, the former host was allowed to return to his job—but only as a correspondent.
