As one of the stars of Grey's Anatomy, one of the most popular shows on television in the past year or so, Isaiah Washington seemed to have it pretty good -- until an incident in October of 2006 in which he reportedly used a homophobic slur against a fellow castmate. Still, he apologized (at the prompting of Touchstone Television) and underwent anger counseling. It might have been but a minor bump in Washington's career had he not continued to antagonize fellow cast members by such things as his flippant remarks about the incident at the Golden Globe Awards ceremony in January of 2007.
Still, he went back to work on the hit show, amid speculation that the incident would influence impending salary negotiations. But by June ABC had had enough and cut Washington loose. Further accusations flew, and Washington threatened to sue, to leave the country to dedicate himself to charity work, and to focus solely on a career in independent film.
