The Inevitable "T.R. Knight Is Considering Quitting 'Grey's'" Rumor
While his Grey's Anatomy co-star Isaiah Washington is currently excising his bullying demons in a 28-day gay-rage detoxification program, an unnamed "source" tells The Scoop that Ellen-tattling slur-victim T.R. Knight is still so incensed over the way the events were handled, he's plotting to depart the hit series:
The actor was the subject of a widely-publicized homophobic slur by a cast mate and he "is so upset about the situation and so disgusted by how it was all handled," that he's planning to leave the show, says a source.
"He was told not to say anything about the whole incident," says the insider. "He feels that the atmosphere there is so toxic and unhealthy...I suppose things could change and we would stay, but for now, he's planning to leave the show."
[H]is spokeswoman told The Scoop: "We're not commenting on that." She later called back and said that the story was "Completely, one thousand percent false."
While the Fire Isaiah campaign seems to be losing steam, perhaps these "sources" are actually Knight's opprtunistic agents trying to parlay this into a spinoff for the actor: O'Malley M.D. would see the intern fast tracked to chief of surgery at an Olympia hospital, where the sexy staff would take direction from their puppy-eyed new boss, referring to him only as O'Yummy.
