Isaiah Washington Thinks T.R. Should’ve Been Fired

Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Drama, Prime Time, ABC, Grey's Anatomy, Gossip, Rumors

Isaiah Washington Could someone shut this guy up already? I mean, really, everytime he opens his mouth it’s a giant mistake. I’m speaking (of course) about , who is now claiming that Grey’s Anatomy co-star T.R. Knight should have been axed instead of Washington. Wow, that’s a bold claim that doesn’t even hold any water. So, by now you know that Washington made a homophobic remark about T.R. Knight and that’s how this whole drama began—he got in a fight with Patrick Dempsey, things cooled down… then he opened his big yapper at the Golden Globes and got himself into trouble all over again. ABC made him jump through hoops to redeem himself, but apparently it wasn’t enough because the actor eventually got the boot from the hit drama. In an interview with the Houston Chronicle, Washington said, “They fired the wrong guy.” How does he figure that? Well, he thinks T.R. made a mountain out of the situation so that he could get more screen time and bump up his salary. He also maintains that, he “used the word during a disagreement with Patrick. I apologized for that. We shook hands and went back to work.” Will Washington find work after this incident? For starters, he should try hiring a good PR person and taking a vow of silence.

Isaiah Washington Cut From Grey’s Anatomy

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, ABC, Grey's Anatomy, Gossip, News

Greys AnatomyAfter weeks of nail-biting—and some indifference—we now know the fates of Dr. Preston Burke and George O’Malley.  After a long delay, ABC has finally renewed T.R. Knight’s contract while opting to cut Isaiah Washington from .  The two actors had been in the middle of a heated controversy since Isaiah used a homophobic slur in reference to Knight.

Despite a recent public-service announcement taped by Washington (the commercial touting tolerance aired during a re-run), the act of contrition was apparently all in vain.  The actors and crew were told of the casting decision late tonight.

Either too angry or lazy to come up with something original, released this statement through his publicist:

““I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take it any more.”

Isaiah Washington Tries to do Something Right

Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Drama, Prime Time, ABC, Grey's Anatomy

Isaiah WashingtonAfter a pretty major slip up last year, Isaiah Washington is trying to get back in everyone’s good graces. If you recall, he called co-star T.R. Knight a certain unacceptable gay slur and ended up not being a very popular guy. He also acted jerky at the Golden Globes in January. Then again, despite the incidents, maybe he’s doing just fine. After all, he didn’t get fired from Grey’s Anatomy and his little episode didn’t hurt viewership any. He did attend some type of tolerance program, which was a weak PR move to make amends. GLAAD, the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation will be featuring Washington in upcoming public service announcements for the organization. According to GLAAD president Neil Giuliano, “Isaiah understands he is going to be judged by more than just his apology. He knows his future actions - including the genuine first step today’s meeting represents - will demonstrate his sincerity in becoming part of the solution to antigay bigotry. We welcome the opportunity to work with him in the coming months to help improve the cultural climate faced by LGBT people across this country.”

Isaiah Washington Apologizes For Inappropriate Comment

Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Drama, Prime Time, ABC, Grey's Anatomy, Gossip

Grey's AnatomyHave you been following this whole blow-up over what Isaiah Washington of said about co-star T.R. Knight? If not, let me get you up to speed. In October, Washington and Patrick Dempsey got into an argument after Washington threw out a homophobic slur. As a result, co-star T.R. Knight officially announced to People magazine that he is gay. The whole incident wasn’t in the headlines for long, and all seemed to be well for the cast of the hit medical drama. Fast forward to the night of the Golden Globes, when Washington was asked in the press room about the comment he made—and he denied that it ever happened. Of course, this ruffled a lot of people’s feathers—Knight, for whom the comment was made, ABC, his co-stars on Grey’s Anatomy, and everyone behind the show, for that matter, and the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation. As a result, Washington issued an apology, saying “I can neither defend nor explain my behavior. I can also no longer deny to myself that there are issues I obviously need to examine within my own soul, and I’ve asked for help.” Here’s my beef about celebrities—why can’t they just behave? They have it all, and yet they throw around inappropriate comments and do stupid things. No word yet on whether or not this will affect Washington’s role on Grey’s Anatomy. ABC is simply saying that his comments at the Globes were “unacceptable and are being addressed.”

Grey’s Anatomy Actor Issues Apology

Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Drama, Prime Time, ABC, Grey's Anatomy, News

Grey's Anatomy cast Remember that little fight that happened on the set of 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.”

Grey’s Anatomy Docs Fight it Out

Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Drama, Prime Time, ABC, Grey's Anatomy, Rumors

Patrick Dempsey Who’s the cutest of them all? Was that the basis for a real-life fight between two Grey’s Anatomy actors? Perhaps we’ll never know the truth, but it was reported by the New York Daily News yesterday that Patrick Dempsey and Isaiah Washington got into an argument during production of the hit doctor drama. Something sparked the debate—according to the newspaper, it was about cast members who had delayed a scene—leading Washington to grab Dempsey by the throat and shove him. The two have sense made up for the scuffle, with Washington’s publicist commenting, “Differences are inevitable. They were aired, resolved and everyone has moved on.” Dempsey’s spokeswoman said, “There was an argument on set. In any close-knit family, sometimes people argue. But everybody made up and went back to work.” So, apparently, no hard feelings—life goes on. Let’s be on our best behavior, boys. Reserve this kind of cattiness for the ladies of Desperate Housewives.
