TR Knight To Leave Greys Anatomy?

Drama Queen T.R. Knight overheard his cast mate Isaiah Washington say the word faggot to another cast mate referring to Knight, and he “is so upset about the situation and so disgusted by how it was all handled,” that he’s planning to leave the show, says a source.

“He was told not to say anything about the whole incident,” says the insider, referring to an on-set dust up in October when fellow cast member Isaiah Washington referred to Knight, who plays Dr. George O’Malley, with a derogatory word used to describe gay men.

“He kept his word, but then the whole thing blew up again at the Golden Globes, and when he was asked about it, he basically called Isaiah a liar,” says the source. “He feels that the atmosphere there is so toxic and unhealthy. I suppose things could change and we would stay, but for now, he’s planning to leave the show.”

When asked if Knight planned to leave the show, his spokeswoman said, “We’re not commenting on that.” She later called back and said that the story was “Completely, one thousand percent false.” A rep for the network also called to add that “rumors of T. R. Knight’s departure from the show are irrefutably untrue.”

Cast members spreading rumors that Knight is leaving should be fired. I can think of one female that stood up for Knight, and criticized Washington. She had better learn to stop spreading rumors or her own job will be on the line. Why would Knight leave a show that is winning award after award?

    How would Mr. Washington feel if someone used the “N” word towards him. He should be fired for what he has said. But he won’t, because he is black.

    how about an episode where issaha the doctor refers to a sick gay patient as a faggot and how the staff enlightens him and he is given the job as head doctor to these patients,In turn he loses the chief of surgery to mcdreamy and how his predudice cost him a position he should have gad.To me this would be a great way ti illistrate the intollerance of such behavior and the lost oppurtunities beause of it.This way the viewers could witness first hand what predjudice can cause him in his forward moving career.

    How about a poll deciding who should leave “Grey’s Anatomy” – T.R. or Isaiah?

    The first vote is: Bye,Bye Isaiah.(or should I call him Dr. McPhobic).
