Celebrity Feuds
"Anatomy" Lesson: Who's the Liar?

TMZ has obtained video of Isaiah Washington dropping the f-bomb ... yes, that f-bomb.

Reports say that Washington called Knight a "faggot" on the set of the popular show -- a claim Isaiah flat-out denied in the press room at the Golden Globes on Monday. "No, I did not call T.R. a faggot, never happened," said Washington at the podium.

"Grey's" creator Shonda Rhimes tried to deflect attention from the fight saying, "I don't think any reporter made it up. We're just excited we won the Golden Globe."

Knight isn't staying silent. On "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" yesterday, he said he was shocked by Isaiah's denial, adding,"Everyone heard it ... I was under no delusions."

61. I think they are making a big deal out of nothing. He said faggot. Who cares? News/Media. Yes, because they want ratings. Fact: T. R. is a faggot. He said he is gay. So what. Maybe T.R. made a pass at Isaiah. I don’t know but it’s no big deal to me. I am sure the gay guy have heard worst. If not, he is a wimp. The faggot or gay guy or whatever the correct PC term is needs to fight his own battles. Don’t go the Ellen’s show who is also gay and keep this feud going. The impression I got was a reporter asked Isaiah a question regarding the feud and Isaiah answered the question. Isaiah said he didn’t call T.R. a faggot. If Isaiah did, so what, T. R. is gay. I think they are making a big deal out of it because Isaiah is black and the gay guy/T. R. is a white. Isaiah has apologies again. I also think Isaiah is an excellent actor. He should not be fired and I'm not a fan of Grey's Anatomy. Isaiah If you want to keep your paycheck, I advise you to just say "no comment". You are going to have to kiss somebody ass for this. Isaiah as a black man you know how white people can be and the gay community. I am sure T.R. the gay guy use profanity and did call Isaiah all kinds of MF's, and the N-word in the privacy of his home. Who knows what really went down? Katherine Heigl needs to go somewhere and sit her ass down. She just wants her name in the paper. I am sure Isaiah wife will have his back. The N-word and faggot are in two difference category. Don’t ever compare the two. Yes, maybe Isaiah should have use a different word but T. R. is a faggot or gay. This is true. Isaiah has apologies twice. Let it go.

62. they are both liars. tr knight and isaiah washington should deal with this on their own. but if anyone gets fired it should be both of them. i watch the ellen show and tr knight looked like he was lying or not was hiding something. i have a hard time believeing that isaiah called him a faggot since noone but tr knight and the blond girl are talking in public. the media is also at fault here perpetuating the rumor.

hello jack, i also had a sme experience. i find it funny that homosexuals hate bisexuals. gays want hetero's to respect them and be punished for things that hetero's say or do to gays. i have watched plenty of talk shows about gays and how they want to be repected but in the next breathe demonize bisexuals. i have disassociated myself from all the gay people in my life because they also have disparaged bisexuals and heterosexuals.

63. steve wrote " 56. First off-Jack-it's time to wake up, I don't believe a word of your story. 2nd, I have several gay friends-both men & woman and in all the years I have known them I have never once heard one of them refer to another gay that are a "Faggot"-I don't see that word being used in the gay community."

gay people should have all those rights. steve i don't care if you beleive me or not. he was drunk and obnoxious. my brother is gay. he and his boyfriend call each other all kinds of names. plus i have heard other gay men call each other all kinds of names in private. all you need to do is walk in a gay club. u obviously never been in a gay club. gay people are just as evil and hurtful as everyone else on this planet.

64. nurface

do you know what homophobic means. a fear of homosexuals or of homosexuality. so why is that we are supposed feel sorry or help people who have fear of heights,snakes, spiders, or leaving the house. but not homophobics. maybe they were raped by a gay man. and yes if a man rapes another man or boy. the raper is homosexual (male on male sex). we should be helping homophobics get over their fear of homosexuals.

65. I have watched Grey's from the very beginning and Washington's character has been one of my favorites. When I first heard about the "incident" I was hoping it would turn out to be something that would just blow over. Now, I don't think it will. However, for Washington to so forcefully state he never used the word, knowing if he had his castmates would dispute it, makes me think maybe he was right and he never did. Of course, now he HAS used it for all the world to see, and it has opened Pandora's Box. I hope, for the sake of the show, it will eventually be worked out by all parties. I think if ABC/Disney fires Washington, it will be a very big mistake. When it comes right down to it, this is actually between Knight, Washington and the rest of the cast.
