Isaiah Washington’s time on Grey’s Anatomy has officially come to an end. The actor has been in trouble ever since he made homophobic remarks about fellow cast member T.R. Knight and subsequently had a  run-in with other cast mate Patrick Dempsey.

Grey’s creator Shonda Rhimes informed Isaiah of the bad news today by phone and claims that the firing was not only the result of his recent behavior, but because of a "pattern of problematic behavior."

Rumor has it Washington is not taking this lying down, so expect to hear him spit some venom soon. I’d be surprised if he gets his job back, though. No team needs a cancer in the locker room.
