Isaiah Washington Out of 'Grey's Anatomy'

Isaiah Washington has been let go from "Grey's Anatomy" after a tumultuous
season that included on-set tension and a controversy over his use of a gay
slur.

The 43-year-old Washington, who played Dr. Preston Burke on the ABC hit,
won't be back next season; ABC Studios, which produces the show, confirms
that it didn't pick up his contract option for next season. There aren't many
details beyond that, although a number of reports cite his behavior --
including the incident in which he allegedly directed a homophobic slur
against co-star T.R. Knight -- as playing a role in the producers' decision.

Washington's only comment on the situation comes via his publicist and quotes
Howard Beale in "Network": "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it
anymore."

Speculation about Washington's fate on "Grey's" has swirled since the season
finale, when Burke split with fiancee Cristina Yang (Sandra Oh) and moved out
of the apartment the couple shared. Reports say the final decision came down
Thursday -- not long after word came that Knight, whose character was also at
loose ends in the finale, would be returning.

Washington first attracted controversy last fall when, in a dustup on the
show's set, he reportedly called Knight a "faggot." The matter died down
until the Golden Globe awards in January, when, as the cast and crew were
backstage celebrating a win for best drama series, Washington leaned into the
microphone to assert that he hadn't used the slur.

That set off a huge volley of protest, with other cast members, notably
Katherine Heigl, rallying behind Knight and activist groups demanding that
Washington apologize. He eventually did, and also entered counseling and
taped a public service announcement about the power of words.

How the show explains Washington's departure on screen remains to be seen.
The rest of the cast -- except Kate Walsh, who's moved on to the spinoff
"Private Practice" -- is expected back next season, although Heigl is still
negotiating.
