Grey's Star: Isaiah Washington Needs to F'ing Zip It
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.

AAMOF, I just found his apology...
"'I sincerely regret my actions and the unfortunate use of words during
the recent incident on-set,'" Washington, 43, says in the statement.
"'Both are beneath my own personal standards. I have nothing but
respect for my coworkers and have apologized personally to everyone
involved.'"
McBigot, you make my head hurt from your double talk... but if you

Oh, that nickname is soooooo fitting. Did you create it or has it
been floating around since the original incident last October?

It's quite possible I was the very first person to use it... hell, I
haven't seen anyone else refer to IW that way, so it's entirely
possible that I'm the only person to still refer to him that way.
*shrug*
I mean, y'know, we've got a McDreamy (Shepard), a McSteamy (Sloan), et
al., why not a McBigot?

It doesn't end in `y'?
Some people call Alex McSleazy, though I don't think he is.

I think Dr. Mark Sloan took that title away.

Alex's nickname continues to be Dr. Evilspawn. He and Addison "Satan"
Montgomery and George "007" O'Malley are the only characters that have
or have had nicknames that don't have the "Mc" suffix. (George having
lost the "007" designation after he performed open-heart surgery while
trapped in an elevator.)

wanna hang yourself in the press by denying you said anything at all,
go for it. Be my guest.
Also, here's a link to a transcript of TR Knight's appearance on ELLEN
after the GG Awards...

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 airing Tuesday. "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."
