Isaiah Washington Goes to Rehab
After talks with ABC executives on Friday and gay rights activists this Monday, 'Grey's Anatomy' star Isaiah Washington, has reportedly entered rehab this morning in a final attempt to mitigate all the bad press surrounding his use of a homophobic slur against costar T.R Night. In a statement today, Washington says he has begun a psychological assessment since he finds it a "necessary step toward understanding why I did what I did and making sure it never happens again." The actor has also agreed to help educate the public about the cruelty of such language. By undergoing counseling Isaiah also hopes to keep his job at the ABC hit show, since in a statement issued on Friday, Disney executives said that they are mulling the future of the actor.
Though I believe in second chances, Isaiah took it a little too far for which he should be fired, unless given an ultra flaming gay role in Grey's Anatomy.

I don't get all the hype surrounding this incident. It should be a private matter between Isaiah and TR. If Rosie would mind her own damn business, it would not have been so public. Rosie is not the voice of gay America and should learn to shut her mouth.
I don't think it should be a private matter when Washington has made sure to make it public, which gives us the right to criticize him. But I do agree that Rosie is not the voice of gay America, though she is making sure of bringing gay issues to the front, which is appreciated.
I am the voice of gay America and I say Jake Gyllenhaal is hot, GREY'S ANATOMY is not. I'm glad they're not just sweeping what Isaifag Washington said under the rug. You know if T.R. had called him a n*, the wrath of Jesse Jackson and the NAACP would have come thundering down on him and ABC.
hahahahhaaha, you are too fucking funny. And I completely agree with you on the n word. That was the first thing that came to me when I first read about it. what if?? TR would had been fired already.
