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.

61. while i agree that washington was in the wrong and should have just apologized and left it at that, it's completely stupid to assume that's he homophobic. using the word faggot like he did doesn't make you a homophobe, just like saying something racist doesn't always necessarily make a person a racist. sometimes it's just ignorance (there's a difference, one is about hate & fear, rather than just not knowing any better). it's fine to call him out for using a derogatory term and encourage others not to use it, but seriously, throwing around accusations of homophobia is a bit much.
he's apologized (whether or not you think it was sincere, you can't make him be sorry even with a million posts), people should move on . Grey's is still a great show, and all the actor's do a great job, so i'll still be watching.

62. and more people with a brain and a heart will be very very careful about when and if they use that word.

63. If TMZ made our emails public you fools wouldn't have the balls to shoot off the names you are calling each other. Cowards and closet homosexuals always feel powerful calling people names behind the saftey of their computers. Pathetic.

64. A Fag is a Fag is a Fag.

Get over it!!! Being gay is not an acceptable way of life, I don't care what people say. Remember Sodom and Gomorrah? How quickly we do forget.

By calling him a Fag, he was merely acknowledging what the gay person had already admitted to, he's a fag.

66. "The one thing we can say... what a wuss for not taking his medicine like a man."
One wonder's what the medicine is...a gay gangbang adminsitered by you little sissy boys?
All the little fairy boys at TMZ are running around with their panties in a bunch..."Oooh that big, Black guy called poor little TR ah ah, ah...faggot"
BOOHOOHOO!
Washington in the heat of the moment got in an arguement with another person and used an offensive term,
SO WHAT!
I have news for the WHORLE WIDE WORLD...
Not everyone will like you, or you're life style choices. In the 21st Century they may call you names, to your face or behind your back.
Life goes on. Get over yourself you prancing, mincing, little dancing queens of TMZ!

Posted at 6:15PM on Jan 19th 2007 by The truth will set you free...go on, RUN FAGGOT, RUN!

67. I agree with 59 that he's not necessarily a "homophobe.' He was probably just a little insensitive, unaware, and now, according to his comments, he has more awareness.

Yes, it's a great show.

68. It's funny to me that some people still call being gay "a lifestyle." It's not like going out late every night and drinking. It's not like exercising every day as opposed to sitting on the couch. It's not a lifestyle. Gay people are not different than straight people. If a gay person loved people of the opposite sex, they would still be the same person, lead the same life,live the same "lifestyle." Calling it a "lifestyle choice" makes no sense.

69. Get Real #62
I think you are missing the point...this isn't about "hiding" or "power" it's about the fact that try as the "politically correct police" will, people still use derogatory terms to describe others, always have and always will. Last time I checked, this was still the United States, and not Canada, where they have a hateful speech law WHICH DOESN'T WORK.
Sorry if your feeling are hurt because your co-workers, friends or the other kids on the bus disapprove of you and your lifestyle choices.
Those who drive the cultural machine in this society have tried for years to make us all part of the big rainbow, and it won't work. You may get a measure of compliance in the workplace, but in the real world, people will call you hurtful names.
Didn't one of your two mommies ever tell you that?

70. Number 66, you clearly needed at least two mommies to teach you how to be a decent person. You're right that it can't be legislated. Families need to teach kindness and tolerance. I don't know if two mommies would have been enough for you!

71. SO WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!

72. It was wrong the first time he said it and worse when he lied and denied it at an awards show!How low-class can you get!! If anyone thinks this is alright then you should feel the same way about MEL GIBSON-PAT ROBERTSON-MICHEAL RICHARDS,etc..A hater is a hater!!! Now if someone referred to Washington by the"N" word--what would happen?????? Al sharpton,jesse jackson ,naacp, would be on t.v demanding an apology,resignation,and justice for such behavior!! This is just as wrong!! He needs to be a man and admit he was wrong and Not say it again!! And to bring it up at the awards show was just childishness pure and simple!! GROW UP WASHINGTON!!!

73. #66 you are pathetic and most likely jealous of the fact that people can express their opinions in a NON partisan way WITHOUT being judgmental. Maybe if YOU had 2 mommies your attitude would be a little different. Or wait, maybe you WANT to be a 2 mommy family and are jealous of the fact that you are repressed or WAIT, DEPRESSED! Get a freakin' life you judgmental loser!
