Isaiah Washington Kicked Off Grey's! (Star Magazine)
ABC and Isaiah Washington’s rep have confirmed that he was not asked back to the hit series Grey's Anatomy for it’s fourth season next fall.
TV Guide's Michael Ausiello reports that the decision was due only in part to Washington's on-set troubles, and was a result of a "pattern of problematic behavior."
Washington’s publicist, Howard Bragman, says that Grey's creator Shonda Rhimes called Isaiah late Thursday and told him he would not be invited back to the show next season.
The decision to fire Washington came after an on set spats with co-star Patrick Dempsey, where Washington used the word “faggot” and forced T.R. Knight to come out to the public.
Washington has since apologized and even filmed a public service announcement for GLAAD. His publicist released this statement from Washington upon hearing the news: "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore."
Washington has gone as far as to take back his apology and openly refer to all homosexual persons as being “gayballs”.
“I’ll start my own show mutha^%$^%$”, said Washington, “Yippie Ki-Yah Muthafucka. We live in a country with walls, you need me on that wall.”
Washington went on to quote 30 other blockbuster movies.
Isaiah is to be replaced with a more reserved, less controversial choice, R. Kelly
