Washington says McDrama is over
Isaiah Washington claims that the skirmish between him and Patrick Dempsey on the set (where Isaiah allegedly called TR Knight a f—-t) was blown way out of proportion. When asked if things were good on the set now, he replied, “Everything was good on the set four weeks ago.” He goes on to say that the tabloids coverage of the fight was “disappointing” and he even joked that he bought stock in the tabloids “since they make so much money off us.”
In a segment that aired Friday, on Oprah visited the set of Grey’s. Washington told Winfrey, “I lost my cool, but it wasn’t coming out of a place of animus for Patrick or T.R. or anyone. It was coming out of a place of trying to stay focused about the work. I’ve been working with these beautiful men for three years now, and we had an argument as brothers. It came about at a time and a place that was overwhelming for both of us.” He went on to say that “What it was not, was a brawl.”
Patrick Dempsey told Oprah, “I think what happens is we needed to just be open and be able to communicate and not let things build up,” Dempsey told Winfrey. “I think we’ve come to that point where it’s much freer to communicate with each other, and we’re more relaxed because of it. I think the whole company’s tighter.”
I love how Washington just went straight to the Queen Oprah to make his plea for everyone to let it go. They only way it could have been a more obvious PR play was if he had of agreed to go on the show instead of having O conduct an interview on the set. I’m so ready for this to be dropped, but I don’t think it will be for a while. I read another angry letter in Entertainment Weekly this week, calling for Washington to be fired.
