Isaiah Washington Denies Making Gay Slur

The new issue of The National Enquirer reports that Isaiah Washington told Patrick Dempsey, "I’m not your little f-t like ________." T.R. Knight may have decided to fill in the blank. Washington denies "unequivocally" that he uttered the slur.

Isaiah Washington made a public statement denying he ever said "faggot." Some are calling for him to be fired because he did say it. If Isaiah Washington denies it, and no one comes forward to say he did say it, then he shouldn’t be fired for that. He could sue if they falsely accused him, and fired him under false pretenses.

If Isaiah did physically assault Patrick Dempsey, then Grey’s Anatomy would have grounds to fire him, unless the issue is worked out.

What do you think should happen to Isaiah, and why?
