So Grey’s Anatomy won for Best Drama Series last night, but leave it to a man with a huge ego to draw the attention to himself.

This is from the Hollywood Reporter:

Clearly the most dramatic moment backstage with the cast and crew of “Grey’s Anatomy” was when a question was asked regarding the widely publicized on-set fight between Isaiah Washington (Preston Burke) and Patrick Dempsey (Derek Shepherd). Washington blurted out, “No, I did not call T.R. (Knight, who plays George O’Malley) a faggot. It never happened.”

The crowd gasped, and the rest of the press briefing was spent watching Sandra Oh trying to keep Knight from bolting the platform as he clearly was miffed by the comment.

The video of Washington saying the word yet again can be seen here.

Co-star Katharine Heigl is NOT having his bullshit anymore. This was her response:

Isaiah Washington, who backstage at the Golden Globes made some sort of bid to set the record straight about what he did or did not call T.R. Knight during the infamous October on-set fracas, may have only dug himself in deeper — at the very least with another Grey’s Anatomy cast mate, Katherine Heigl. Speaking to Access Hollywood after his latest spiel, Washington reiterated, “There is no way I could do anything so vile” as calling another person the F-word.

Heigl, though, says Washington’s revisiting of the incident — complete with uttering the epithet — hurt Knight, who was also in the press room at the time. “I’m going to be really honest right now. [Isaiah] needs to just not speak in public. Period,” the actress tells Access Hollywood in an interview airing Tuesday. “That did not need to be said, I’m not OK with it. Drawing attention to it and saying the word again is just unnecessary.”

And to think I actually defended him when this whole thing went down, because I heard him saying pro-gay marriage things on the Megan Mullaly show BEFORE the whole incident. Now I’ve just lost all respect. T.R. had to have been HORRIFIED. Absolutely horrified. And notice Patrick’s head go down.

Heads will roll for this one. We can’t let him get away with it again.

UPDATE: Here is video of Katherine Heigl’s reaction to the press room incident, as well as Washington trying to defend himself to Billy Bush and Nancy O’Dell.

And if you go here, you can see a preview of T.R. Knight’s appearance on Ellen DeGeneres today where he confirms Isaiah did in fact call him the f-word, and exposes him as a liar.

Here is Isaiah’s appearance on the Megan Mullaly show from a while back–this was before the Patrick Dempsey scuffle even happened, where he says positive things about gay people. I still don’t think Washington is a homophobe, he just seems to be an arrogant asshole.
