T.R. Knight, is about to leave ‘Grey’s Anatomy.’ His co-star Isaiah Washington called him ‘faggot’ on the set of Grey’s Anatomy which annoyed and encouraged Knight to leave the show.
A source said,
He is so upset about the situation and so disgusted by how it was all handled that he’s planning to leave the show.
In an interview with Ellen DeGeneres, Knight said,
It’s an awesome word, isn’t it? I’ve never been called that to my face. So I think when that happened, something shifted, and it became bigger than myself.
After sometime Knight confirmed that he is gay.
In the Golden Globe Awards press room on Monday night, after Grey’s Anatomy won Best TV Drama, Washington when asked by a reporter about the incident, he dubiously denied using the slur. He said, ‘
No, I did not call T.R. a faggot. Never happened, never happened.’
But Knight’s spokeswoman refused to comment on the issue. A rep for the network also added that ‘rumors of T. R. Knight’s departure from the show are irrefutably untrue.’
