Washington Fired from "Grey's Anatomy"

Posted Jun 7th 2007 10:55PM by TMZ Staff

TMZ has confirmed that Isaiah Washington has been fired from the ABC hit "Grey's Anatomy."

Washington's rep, Howard Bragman, confirmed this evening to TMZ that "Grey's" creator Shonda Rhimes called Isaiah today and told him he would not be invited back to the show next season. TV Guide's Michael Ausiello, who first broke the story, reports that the decision was due only in part to Washington's on-set troubles, and was a result of a "pattern of problematic behavior."

As for how he feels about his termination, Washington issued the following statement: "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore."

Paging a mediator, STAT!

8. No need for language such as that.

Lets keep race out of this, seeing as how this has nothing to do with who is black or white.

9. Kartherine Heigl basically single-handedly harassed Washington right out of the picture. Hope the producers aren't sorry later, because he was a rarely talented actor. Heigl meanwhile keeps screeching that they need to "value her" but offering her more moohlah. Personally, if Heigl left, I suspect it would scarcely be noticed.

11.

Give it time and it will be. My point was, Washington shoud know better than to call someone a name that is degrading and offensive. Then to try to deny it in public and use the word again?? I say the two words are comprable in their offensiveness.

12. He did himself in on that awards show being cockey and saying the F word. Especially when he did it a second time.

14. Referring to post #1, Amanda, who are you losers that you have to be so thrilled to be FIRST? Get a life.

15. I understand what you're saying, however... If you agree that the other "f-word" is just as offensive as the "n-word," why would you use it on this forum?

There is no need for anyone to use language such as that.
