Will Isaiah Washington PAY for his actions??

| | Comments (0) |

It's kind of a PAGE SIX day it seems. They are running an item on Isaiah Washington that I can't help but think is probably right on the mark. Since the actor could have very well lost his job on "Grey's Anatomy" after hurling a gay slur at castmate T.R. Knight so he can't be in any kind of position to negotiate a raise.

"All the actors are in the midst of contract renegotiations," a source said. "But ABC is using Isaiah's recent troubles to keep from paying him more." Washington recently had to go into anger-management rehab after he'd called fellow co-star T.R. Knight a "f - - - - t." According to our insider, "Isaiah knows it is his fault that he may not get the fat raise he was going to get. ABC doesn't have to give him anything - he is under contract for seven years - and this is going to cost him millions. It's just a bitter pill he is going to have to swallow." A rep for Washington said, "We are going to do our business in private, not in the press." A rep for ABC didn't return calls.
