'Globes' Comment Rekindles 'Grey's' Feud
AP
LOS ANGELES (Jan. 17) - "Grey's Anatomy" star Katherine Heigl was not pleased with fellow castmate Isaiah Washington's comments following Monday's Golden Globe Awards.

During an interview in the press room after the show's best-drama win, Washington denied his involvement in a heated on-set incident in October during which he allegedly used a homophobic slur.

"No, I did not call (co-star) T.R. (Knight) a f*****," Washington said. "Never happened, never happened."

Rather than soothing the situation, his comments left Heigl seething.

"I'm going to be really honest right now, he needs to just not speak in public. Period," Heigl told "Access Hollywood" at a Golden Globe after-party. "I'm sorry, that did not need to be said. I'm not OK with it."

She called the comments "hurtful," characterizing the incident as one that should be handled privately among the show's cast and crew.

I don't think (Washington) means it the way he comes off," Heigl said. "But T.R. is my best friend. ... I will use every ounce of energy I have to take you down if you hurt his feelings."

Knight, who said soon after the October fracas that he is gay, appeared on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" Tuesday to discuss the original incident and Washington's recent comments.

"He referred to me as a f*****. Everyone heard it," Knight said of the October squabble.

Comments from Heigl and Washington were set to air Tuesday on "Access Hollywood." A call placed after hours Tuesday to Washington's representative was not returned.

Here's my thought about the whole situation. I really do believe that Isaiah Washington made those comments about TR Knight. I am actually disappointed because I didn't think he would be the type of person to make such inhumane comments. Plus, Isaiah played a gay man in Get On The Bus by Spike Lee. That's why I don't understand the why he said what he said.

He's latest comment is just silly. He needs to just keep his mouth shut and hope that he still has a job.

AllIWantIsYourClutch · 01-17-2007, 07:37 PM

Whether or not he really did it, we don't know.

However. It was completely inappropriate for him to run up to the mic and say that in the press room. That was NOT called for at all.

Props to Katherine. I wish she was my best friend. She's awesome.

It seemed like several of the cast were uncomfortable with his remarks. Maybe he didn't realize how bad it was sounding.

Maybe, either way he should have really kept his mouth closed.

I'm so out of the loop that I don't even know who these people are.

The cast of Gray's Anatomy...a show I started to watch and now, don't care to.

friendsfan77 · 01-17-2007, 09:26 PM

He apparently freakin' apologized for saying it and now he's saying it never happened?! He shouldnt have been nasty like that in the first place. ugh, I cant stand Isaiah.

T.R. handled everything so nice on Ellen though even though he was nervous. Though, I dont blame him for being it at all.

AllIWantIsYourClutch · 01-18-2007, 12:25 AM

TR on Ellen was amazing. I feel so bad for the poor guy. It's not like he's making any of it up.

Here's the link to it, if anyone cares:

When the cast was on Oprah, they kinda confirmed that there had been a squabble....I don't know why he's denying it now...

There's a petition that has surfaced called Fire Isaiah Washington. It already has 6,793 signatures.

I don't think those petitions work at all. I've signed some to help shows that I loved and they were still cancelled, or to bring back people who were written off shows and they never returned
