While it's not anything huge, it's nice to finally hear ABC's thoughts on this terrible situation. Read the press release, per TVGuide.com, below:

"We have a long-standing policy to create and maintain respectful workplaces for all our employees. We dealt with the original situation in October, and thought the issue resolved. Therefore, we are greatly dismayed that Mr. Washington chose to use such inappropriate language at the Golden Globes, that he himself deemed 'unfortunate' in his previous public apology. We take this situation very seriously, and his actions are unacceptable and are being addressed."

Mike Ausiello, who reported this, says he'll have more information soon, so stay tuned! And be sure to catch an all-new episode of Grey's tonight!
