Grey’s Anatomy Update – ABC Release Statement

ABC brass have released a statement saying that they are “dismayed” by comments Grey’s Anatomy star Isaiah Washington made at the Golden Globe Awards earlier this week.

At a Golden Globes press conference on Monday, Washington used the word “faggot” in response to a reporter’s question about a homophobic slur he made towards costar T.R. Knight on the set of Grey’s last October.

“I did not call T.R. a faggot,” he told reporters in the pressroom on Monday. “Never happened, never happened.”

ABC has released the following statement regarding Washington’s remarks:

“We have a long standing policy to create and maintain respectful workplaces for all our employees. We dealt with the original situation in October, and thought the issue resolved. Therefore, we are greatly dismayed that Mr. Washington chose to use such inappropriate language at the Golden Globes, that he himself deemed ‘unfortunate’ in his previous public apology. We take this situation very seriously, and his actions are unacceptable and are being addressed.”
