Isaiah Washington weighs in on Brooke Smith's firing from "Grey's Anatomy"
It's pretty surprising that Isaiah Washington would want to even touch this but here it is. The actor, who was axed from "Grey's Anatomy" in 2007 after using a homophobic slur in reference to co-star T.R. Knight, is slamming the show for firing actress Brooke Smith who was involved in a lesbian storyline..
"I looked at a brilliant actress, whom I have adored since I first saw her in 'Silence of the Lambs,'" Washington says in the Nov. 17 issue of TV Guide. "For her to be treated this way, I find very interesting."
"The fact is that, just before the holidays, you have a mother, a wonderful actress removed from a steady income without the proper reasoning behind it..." he added.

Bitter much Isaiah?
Greg, you should've added when Isaiah was asked if he would return he said, "absolutely!" It makes his alleged gay-friendliness rather suspect.
