Isaiah the Coward

Isaiah WashingtonIsaiah Washington apologized to everyone in the world for using the word "faggot," but he never made it clear if he had, in fact, hurled the insult at T.R. Knight during a physical fight with "Grey's" co-star Patrick Dempsey.

You'll recall that last October, Washington allegedly exploded at Dempsey and said, "I'm not your little faggot like T.R."

At the Globes on Monday, Isaiah finally responded and said he never used the word "faggot." That comment drew lots of criticism and now Washington has said he's sorry. What he actually said was, "By repeating the word Monday night, I marred what should have been a perfect night for everyone..." So, he's sorry he said it Monday night. But what about that incident on the set? Is he saying he lied when he claimed he never used the word "faggot" on the set? And, by the way, what does Washington mean when he says "By repeating the word" faggot? Is he acknowledging the lie when he said he never used the word?

All morning, TMZ called multiple people from Washington's camp, and from "Grey's" to get some clarity. Radio silence. No one will comment.

The one thing we can say... what a wuss for not taking his medicine like a man.

1. He should have said, " I never called him a fudge packer".

2. You know what, the man apologized and people are still harping on him. Now it is the way he said I am sorry. OK, so he is a homophobe--there are people in the world who are, just like there are people in this world who don't like other races, there are other people in world who do not agree with other wearing fur. Even if someone disagrees with what they are thinking, doing, or leading their prospective lives, it is their right to feel the way that they want to. No one can force him to love or agree with the gay lifestyle. And before anyone on this blog, begins to say that I am a homophobe, my very bestest friend in the whole wide world is gay. She to me is still the same, just lives her life differently from mine and no I would never refer to her as a derogatory name--nor would I let anyone else. To me she will always be that girl that I went out and partied with growing up. Asking people to cut off another person's livelihood is wrong. How would you like it if someone started a petition to get you fired, how would you like it. Instead of concentrating on this, why not try to think about poverty, homelessness, world AIDS epidemic, the war in Iraq, world hunger. These are just a few important things that needs to be addressed as opposed to worrying about whether someone is a homophobe. Please please find something more constructive to do with your time. I know what others are going to say..trying to uplift the gay community is something constructive, but really people are going to talk about you for the rest of your lives, who cares what they say, it only counts what you and the others that love thinks.

3. TR is a faggot...get over it homo's. Good luck to you Isaiah.

4. Gee TMZ let's get over this already. He doesn't like Homo's. Okay, A lot of people don't like them.. But let's get on with something or someone else. The two should sit down and make mends and go on with their life. It will happen again and again. People call each other names all the time. Losing his job is not going to solve this problem. If he said it to his face that would be one thing. Let's get on with life

Posted at 3:45PM on Jan 19th 2007 by Get over it!!

5. HE SHOULD JUST CHECK HIMSELF INTO REHAB LIKE THOSE "OTHER" TWO GUYS WHO SAID STUPID STUFF. THAT SEEMS TO MAKE EVERYONE FEEL BETTER. N-WORD, F-WORD, J-BASHING....THE NAZIS AND THE KLAN MUST BE DANCING AROUND A BURNING CROSS AND TOASTING MARSHMELLOWS RIGHT NOW. BLACK AND JEWS WERE EXPECTED TO GET OVER WHAT MICHAEL RICHARDS AND MEL GIBSON SAID...WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE HERE?! T.R. WAS ABOUT TO CRY ON ELLEN. I UNDERSTAND HE'S HURT, BUT HOW LONG ARE WE GOING TO MILK THIS CONTROVERSY? THEY'RE TAKING THE FUN OUT OF THE SHOW BY REHASHING THIS OVER AND OVER, AND THE MORE ISAIAH TRIES TO FIX IT THE WORSE IT GETS. HE SHOULD JUST LEAVE IT AT THE APOLOGY AND MOVE ON WITH LIFE. THEY'LL FIRE HIM OR THEY WON'T....WHATEVER.

GET OVER YOURSELVES PEOPLE. ISN'T THERE SOMETHING BETTER TO TALK ABOUT!

6. the wise old owl.......that is not what you said last night on the board....is this the real wise old owl or are you changing your story???

Posted at 3:59PM on Jan 19th 2007 by i know what you sadi yesterday

7. Homosexuals might be despised, but back peddling homophobes are complette morons, f*** you all.

Posted at 4:08PM on Jan 19th 2007 by Adof Hitler

8. wow, Tee. you are an IDIOT. maybe back when schools were segregated we should have just kept it that way, because there's some people who will always hate black people.

FACT: If someone had called Isiah the "N" word, the fit would be hitting the shan MUCH worse than this.

Posted at 4:13PM on Jan 19th 2007 by Tee is a moron

9. man... when someone gets upset (or a non politically correct way of saying, "pissed off.") you are often going to respond with some derogatory remark... whether it is the middle finger, the "N" word, it is just what people do. okay, maybe you should apologize for the response, but i think it should also be put into prospective... when we get upset we are often gonna strike out at the person or group that upset us, and in that process we almost always will find a derogatory statement to say or gesture to make... then you let the media get a hold of it and before you know some minority group is upset... if when go back and find the original offence, we might then find a bit more balance in how people react... ask Rodney King why he took a beating...

11. #6 No one who's smart gives a hoot about wise old owl,

Posted at 4:19PM on Jan 19th 2007 by i don't care what it said

12. Fire the a**hole! NOW!

Posted at 4:29PM on Jan 19th 2007 by DeLayne

13. This is only a big deal and still on TMZ, because Harvey is a Faggot too. I can't stand him either.

Posted at 4:21PM on Jan 19th 2007 by Big Steve

14. i think the idea, to make his charactor GAY....is an awesome idea.....I'd love to see him bent over, getting duked in the ass.....on Grey's Anatomy.....I think that would make a lot of people feel "better" about his disregard for the respect he should be showing the gay community.......

I bet Michael Richards would have sex with Halle B., Monter Ball Style....for some "forgiveness".....

Posted at 4:37PM on Jan 19th 2007 by Great Dane

15. AND THE HEADLINE ISAIAH THE COWARD WOW THAT IS SHOWING HOW MUCH COURAGE YOU HAVE YOU SHOULD REALLY FEEL SO PROUD TO CALL HIM A COWARD VIA THE INTERNET.

YET YOU DEMONIZE HIM FOR WHAT NAME CALLING TALK ABOUT THE POT CALL THE KETTLE.

AS TOM STATED MAYBE HE SHOULD OF CALLED HIM A FUDGEPACKER, POLE SHINER. OR WHATEVER MORE OFFENSIVE TERM WOULD THAT HAVE WET YOUR APPETITE OF HOMOPHOBE AND HE USED THE TERM HE WAS ACCUSED OF USING HERE HE DID NOT USE A NEW ONE OR MAKE UP ONE OR USE ONE THAT WAS MORE POLITICALLY CORRECT HE USED THE ONE HE WAS ACCUSED OF USING SO WHAT, YOU LCLEAR UP WHAT WAS USED NOT WHAT YOU WOULD OF LIKE TO HAVE SAID.

FOR THOSE WHO DO NOT LIKE ISAIAH WASHINGTON NOTHING HE WOULD OF SAID WOULD BE SUFFICIENT OTHER THAN FIRING HIM AND TAKING HIM AND HIS CHARACTER OFF GREY AND I HOPE THE CREATOR OF THE SHOW DON'T NOT FALL TO THE PRESSURE OF DOING OTHERWISE
