Isaiah Breaks the Silence
filed under: Burke, Entertainment Weekly, Isaiah Washington, show news 1 talk backsEW.com (Entertainment Weekly) has been incredibly kind and has sent us their exclusive story to share with you here at Grey Gossip and TSGA. EW was lucky enough to be the first to get Isaiah's first post-firing interview...and he doesn't seem mad at all.
Controversial Grey's Anatomy star Isaiah Washington speaks exclusively with Entertainment Weekly's website EW.com about being fired from the hit ABC drama, his relationship with the show's cast and crew, and his future in Hollywood.Read the Full Story here...
Plus: He answers questions like whether he will come back to the show in the fall to wrap up any loose ends. "That's really up to who ever made the decisions at ABC. I know [executive producer] Shonda [Rhimes] was happy with what I was doing and I thought I did everything possible in this past year to make things work, but I guess someone at ABC didn't think so," says Washington.
How does he feel about what happened last week and does he think it was fair? "I don't know if it's a question of ‘fair’. I'm saddened by the outcome," he says. "I did everything that the producers and the network asked me to do. I came back under great duress and stress, and thought I was doing the job I was hired to do. I thought that was going to speak for my future at Grey's, but apparently that wasn't the same vision that the network and studio had for me."
Has he heard from any of his castmates? "No," Washington says. "Everyone is still on vacation. I don't expect to hear from my castmates. I did talk to Chandra Wilson and I got a text message from Kate Walsh. Everyone's doing their own thing. People are still trying to enjoy their summer before they get back to the grind. I think a lot of people are out of the country. I'm still getting calls from people discovering that this change has occurred."
