Isaiah Washington press conference controversy

At the winners press conference referencing a scandal over alleged remarks to costar of Grey's Anatomy T.R. Knight, Washington said "No I did not call him a faggot" as executive producer Shonda Rhimes and other cast members looked on. Katherine Heigl would condemn Washington for his remarks and this would lead to Washington's eventual exit from the show as the atmosphere on set was not good.[3] [4] [5] [6]
