Is T.R. Knight about to leave Grey’s Anatomy?
After the Isaiah Washington F-bomb debacle, T.R. “is so upset about the situation and so disgusted by how it was all handled,” that he’s planning to leave the show, a source told The Scoop. “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 T.R. planned to leave the show, his spokeswoman said: “We’re not commenting on that.” However, she later called back and said that the story was “Completely, one thousand percent false.”
Translation: The network told us to shut our traps. (If only Isaiah had done the same.)

T.R. would be a fool to leave the show. Big jobs like this come very rarely. And no matter where he goes he will run into to homophobes. And the truth is…Isaiah Washington, if he did indeed say what he supposedly said, well, it is my belief he was just running his mouth. If he hated T.R. Knight, he would have choked him, not Patrick Dempsey. He took a side verbal swipe at T.R. as a direct insult to Dempsey…not T.R. himself. The way T.R. was telling it on Ellen,
you’d think Washington had pulled him aside and called him a Faggot to his face.
However, this remark occured as an aside during the fight between Dempsey and Washington. Washington reportedly said to Dempsey…”I am not your faggot like T.R.”, or something to that effect.
If true, this is of course wrong, but, if this was a case of gay bashing, Washington would have physically attacked T.R., not Dempsey!!! T.R. was simply a side casualty of trying to break up a fight between Dempsey and Washington, over other cast members failing to show up on the set to rehearse a scene on time. I suspect that the offending cast members were Katherine Heigel (Spelling?) and Sandra Oh…hence their stance against Washington.
It seems there was heat on the set before this event even occured…they were all involved…and this was the final straw. The fact is, most of the cast, from Washington and Dempsey, to the late cast members, are all to blame for this happening in the first place!!! Yes, they are all to blame…and yet, some are seeking to pass the buck!!! Stop acting like children…and go back to work. Just about the only person who has
acted responsibly in all this, is the black woman who won the Screen Actor’s Guild Award last night
and thanked her ten fellow cast members in attendance…and the one in rehab!!!

All of these prima donnas need to forgive and forget, so they all keep their jobs. This is an ensemble show, and all characters are needed.
