![Bobbi Kristina Hospitalized -- Whitney Houston's Daughter Rushed to the Hospital [UPDATE]](http://ll-media.tmz.com/2012/02/13/0213-whitney-hero-2-248x127.jpg)
Isaiah 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.

he only reason i am upset with Mr.Washington is the fact that he didn' t stand up as a man and an American for his use of his first amendment right.
People, let's get the hell over our races, religions and sexual preferences. If you're that uptight about any or all three of these, you need to check yourself. It wouldn't be a big thing if you didn't make it a big thing. This political correctness b.s. has gotten way out of hand.
Don't be afraid to call a spade a spade or a fag a fag, otherwise at the rate the first world is being feminised the thought police will not be something out of a George Orwell book, they will be knocking on your doors.
Nobody is hating on IW, I think he is a f**king coward because he wasn't man enough to admit, he said the word even after a public apology. Who apologizes in front of the media for something they didnât say or do? Whatever, he is a liar. I don't think he should get fired over it but if he were sincere about the apology he wouldn't have denied it after the fact. He shouldâve replied that the situation was handled and left it at that.
I don't think people are saying nigger=faggot, they are both very derogatory words that are offensive. There is not a derogatory word for heterosexuals so you can't compare being called a faggot to a word that doesn't exist. I am 100% against homosexuality but nobody deserves to be called out of their names especially with derogatory slurs. I agree that sometimes people say things out of anger. But, he didnât have to insult JR who had nothing to do with the little quarrel IW and Patrick D. were having.
I guess if someone called him a "nigger" then that would be ok too!! Right???
He was in a fight with the guy for Pete's sake. Give him a break, we've all said it at one time or another. Among other things. But you know, you can't say nothing about gays anymore. I'm black and the word "niggar" don't bother me a bit, b/c I know I am not that. I am better than that. We put too much on words. Leave the guy alone, it wasnt like he was passing the guy in the hall and called him a faggot , they were in a fight.
WHO CARES!?! I'm tired of hearing about this crap! There was a personal dispute on the set, and I.T. used the first derogatory term that came to mind. If a fat lady cuts in front of me at the checkout line, and I'm having a bad day, I'm probably going to call her a "fat bitch." It has nothing to do with me having a problem with fat people in general. Anyhow, who made TMZ the ultimate moral authority? YOUR A CELEBRITY GOSSIP BLOG! Get over yourselves! Don't you have a Hilton shopping spree to cover?
Ya know TMZ - is it idiotic remarks like is posted on your website that keeps this crap going.SHAME ON TMZ.let it go
Those of you who don't like gay people had better stop watching TV and movies, because Hollywood is full of them!
Before I say anything, I am not a homophobe. I think T R Knight is adorable and as a straight woman I am gealous that the guys got this one. However, how many times have you or anyone said something stupid and wished you could take it back? I know I have done it a gazzillion times especially after a few drinks. Fortunately we are not famous, so no one is counting. I do think he apologized and I'm sure he really is sorry. Unfortunately some people do not realize how some words can be ofensive. I mean really there is no book on words that shouldn't be said, there are the obvious ones but there are many, many less obvious.
Truth be told the word faggot has probably come out of everyones mouth at some time. So now we know we should'nt say it. He is sorry, lets get over it, OK. We need to stop giving the whole thing more publicity than it deserves.
Yes, I hear you #50. So true. If everyone would just read this and get over it. It really is not a big deal.
he's sorry for repeating the word in his response to the reporter who asked about the incident. fine. whether or not he's sorry about fighting with dempsey, who cares? as long as he's apologized to T.R. for everything, then i think the world should move on.
TMZ, this all on you. I notice the Kramer Tirade with it's close to 7800 post is your baby. Keep the Isaiah comments alive and keep coming show that You and the staff love the sex and race wars that go on. The man said he was sorry and that should be the end to that, but no you guys keep pouring on the fuel. This is now on you guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Hopefully when we do move on, kind and well-intentioned people all over the world will be more aware what that word means to some people. Hopefully we'll have on wiser than before.
