Shut up, Isaiah Washington - Seriously, shut up
Well, well, well. If it doesn’t just keep getting worse and worse for Mr. Washington. Just when it seemed that the only drama happening on Grey’s was on our televisions each week, Isaiah opens his big, ugly mouth and brings it all back out again. To recap, Isaiah and Patrick Dempsey had an altercation on the set a few months ago. Reportedly, Isaiah called TR Knight a “f—-t” and Patrick defended TR and a mini brawl ensued. As a result, TR came out to the world as a gay man. So it all seemed to be over.
But on the red carpet for the Golden Globes, Isaiah joked about the incident saying, “I love gay. I wanted to be gay. Please let me be gay.” And after celebrating a big win at the Golden Globes, backstage in the press room, a reporter asked if “TR and Isaiah have moved on” and Isaiah responded with, “I did not call T.R. a f—-t. Never happened.” He then told Access Hollywood “there is no way I could do anything so vile.” And according to TV Guide:
Isaiah Washington, who backstage at the Golden Globes made some sort of bid to set the record straight about what he did or did not call T.R. Knight during the infamous October on-set fracas, may have only dug himself in deeper — at the very least with another Grey’s Anatomy cast mate, Katherine Heigl. Speaking to Access Hollywood after his latest spiel, Washington reiterated, “There is no way I could do anything so vile” as calling another person the F-word.
Katherine Heigl, though, says Washington’s revisiting of the incident — complete with uttering the epithet — hurt Knight, who was also in the press room at the time. “I’m going to be really honest right now. [Isaiah] needs to just not speak in public. Period,” the actress tells Access Hollywood in an interview. “That did not need to be said, I’m not OK with it. Drawing attention to it and saying the word again is just unnecessary.”
Could this guy just shut up?? I hate the fact that he took attention away from their happiness over their win and brought this back up. And it was unacceptable that he used the word again. I’m so tired of this story. This will only cause the negative press to pick back up. Shonda Rhimes, pay attention, honey, you’ve got a bad apple in the bunch. Oh and notice that Katherine said that Isaiah said the word AGAIN, meaning, he did say it before, denial or not. You can check out Katherine’s interview with Access Hollywood here. You tell ‘em, girl. This is out of control ridiculous.

Do you think they’ll end his contract and write him out of the show? I kind of hope so, if for no other reason, I’m tired of the whole hand thing…. actually, if his hand isn’t getting better that’ll be an EASY out!

He does need to shut up! I don’t like Isiah’s character anymore. I’m so tired of Burke and the whole hand thing. Yawn. He does seem like a bad apple. I can’t watch the show and not think about things he’s said in real life.
Katherine rocks! I’ve loved her ever since the first time I saw “My Father the Hero.”

[...] It pains me to defend Paris at all, but I really don’t think that she meant anything by what she said. It was thoughtless and careless, but I don’t think she meant to hurt or harm anyone… she’s just stupid. Now, Isaiah Washington? That’s another story.
