Grey’s Anatomy Fires Homophobe

Its about damn time that ABC fired Grey’s Anatomy star Isaiah Washington. I mean seriously? How many times can one use the word faggot to describe a co-worker and get away with it?
From TV Guide:
Multiple sources are telling me that Isaiah Washington will not be returning to Grey’s Anatomy next season. An ABC Studios spokesperson confirms that the actor’s contract option has not been picked up, but declined further comment.
One insider, who requested anonymity due to the sensitivity of the situation, speculated that the decision was likely due only in part to the T.R. Knight homophobic slur scandal and the subsequent fallout. “There was a pattern of problematic behavior going back before he used the F-word,” says my spy. “I imagine [his dismissal] was the result of all of that.”
Washington tried to make amends to the gays by going to antigay rehab and by making a lame educational PSA for GLAAD and GLSEN, but that was too little too late.
Buh-bye, baby!
