McSlurs at Seattle Grace
Seems that the issue of Isaiah Washington (Dr. Preston Burke/Grey's Anatomy) on his gay slur months ago about T.R. Knight isn't over yet. a few months ago a major arguement between Isaiah and Dempsey occured on-set , which forced T. Knight to come out of the closet. Isaiah brought the word up again during the Golden Globes, which caused anger among the cast especially Katherine Heigl who insisted that Washington "needs to just not speak in public."

"I hold his talent, and T.R. as a person, in high esteem. I know a mere apology will not end this, and I intend to let my future actions prove my sincerity." Washington, who plays Dr. Preston Burke on the hit ABC show, denied in the pressroom at the Golden Globes on Monday that he ever used a gay slur in reference to Knight. "No, I did not call T.R. a faggot," said Washington. "Never happened, never happened." But during an appearance Wednesday on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Knight said that Washington did use the word during an on-set argument with costar Patrick Dempsey in October. "He referred to me as a faggot," he told DeGeneres. "Everyone heard it."

Rumors have been going around that Isaiah might be out of GA, but Shonda Rhimes insists that none of the cast would be replaced.
