T. R. Knight Played The Victim And It Worked - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

This might have been discussed before but I never said my piece on how I felt about this...

For T.R. Knight to go on Ellen and play the victim for the Grey's Anatomy situation was dumb.

T.R. took the opportunity to spin it in his favor career wise. He went from a supporting player with barely a role to front and center with multiple romantic pairings. All because he went on Ellen saying Isiah Washington called him a ****ot.

Isiah did everything the show asked him to make ammends. He should of been allowed to stay with the show.

I don't agree. T.R. had ever right to be offended and not take what happened sitting down, which is what people are used to expecting when someone is called a ******. He stood up for himself and I respect him all the more for it. It's not like his career has benefitted that much, it's not like Heigl and Dempsey who are starring in major films.

I agree, and I think that it's not just what Isaiah did to TR. He also apparently grabbed Patrick Dempsey by the throat. I don't care if TR was late, if you have that serious a problem with a co-worker, you talk to them like a professional. You don't put your hands on one person and call someone else a hateful slur. That's how a grade school bully handles something.

And I'm sorry, but Isaiah was just looking desperate towards the end IMO. Those were the types of apologies that were obvious that he was doing it to save his job. And let us not forget right after his firing when he had the gall to claim he was fired because he was black. GMAFB. Chandra Wilson is still on the show and the showrunner is a black woman.

You were fired because you're an ass, Isaiah. Nothing more, nothing less.
