Isaiah Washington's publicist blasts ABC for firing...


All we've heard from fired former "Grey's Anatomy" cast member Isaiah Washington today is that he is "mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore."
TV Guide super scoop Michael Ausiello reports that Isaiah is indeed plenty steamed over being dumped after all his little attempts at redemption. Says his publicist Howard Bragman:
"If they wanted to fire him, why didn't they fire him when [the incident] happened? Why did they say, 'Here's what you need to do if you want to come back⦠' and then, when he did everything that was asked of him, he still gets fired. Why do you treat somebody like that?"
"If you made a mistake, you acknowledged the mistake, you went into counseling, you met with the groups, you did the PSA, you did everything that was asked of you, and then they still kick you in the gut? How would you feel?"
I dunno. I might feel glad they didn't drop me mid-season after I cast a black cloud that distracted from the show. But that's just me.
