Great Moments in Delusion: Isaiah says Knight should have been fired
Isaiah Washington -- fresh off of comparing himself to human rights leader Malcolm X -- is now saying that T.R. Knight is the person who should have been fired from Grey's Anatomy.
According to an interview Washington recently gave to the Houston Chronicle:
Washington said Knight, who plays Dr. George O'Malley, stirred up the notion that the slur was targeted at him and created a negative work environment. Washington also alleged that Knight likely wanted a salary increase and a more substantive role for his character.
Knight, who acknowledged that he was gay after the incident, told Ellen DeGeneres in January that Washington used the slur against him and that "everyone (on the set) heard it."
"That's a lie," Washington said. "I used the word during a disagreement with Patrick. I apologized for that. We shook hands and went back to work."
Wow -- I'm surprised that Washington didn't go on to say that "if T.R. hadn't worn that pretty little red dress none of this every would have happened -- he asked for it, I swear!"
In the audio that accompanies the article, Washington notes, "There is no way in my mind and in my heart that I could be homophobic" and "When it turned into this whole 'Isaiah is homophobic' thing, I don't know how and I don't know why and I don't know when". This is after he has publicly admitted on several occasions to using the word "faggot" on the set. Maybe that might somehow be related to the whole "homophobic thing"?
Seriously -- he says Knight created a negative work environment?! For what -- being gay and forcing Washington to call him a faggot? And that being forcibly outed as a result of a physical altercation between two other cast members and the use of hate speech was all part of Knight's master plan to get more screen time and a raise? This guy is nuts, I'm sorry. How can he blame the victim and play the victim in the same breath?
