Isaiah Washington press conference controversy

At the winners' press conference following the awards ceremony, Isaiah Washington addressed the scandal involving alleged homophobic remarks towards Grey's Anatomy co-star T. R. Knight, stating, "No, I did not call him a faggot", while executive producer Shonda Rhimes and other cast members looked on. Katherine Heigl publicly condemned Washington for his remarks, intensifying tensions on set and contributing to a strained atmosphere. This eventually led to Washington's exit from the show, as the on-set environment became untenable. ^{[3] [4] [5] [6]}
