Now, we're hearing rumors from former star of the show Isaiah Washington about Ellen Pompeo allegedly accepting a bribe to keep quiet about the toxic behavior of Patrick Dempsey. What happened to Isaiah Washington on Grey's Anatomy?
Of course, a show that has been around as long as Grey's Anatomy has had its fair share of problems, but it sure does seem like all of them are being revealed this year. The newest story comes from Isaiah Washington, who played Dr. Preston Burke the first three seasons. That's not all Isaiah said about his experience working on Grey's. And the top of that would be Patrick Dempsey," he told Tavis.
In , Isaiah hosted a food show on Fox Nation called Isaiah Washington: Kitchen Talk , which involves him traveling up the California coast to eat, drink, and be merry with various guests. The actors all have their own thing with themselves and, you know, we all just sit back and watch and let them go off and do their thing. Are you going to still go on about it? He, like Sandra, was always looking to make things better.
Shonda Rhimes series creator : They were one of the most riveting relationships I have ever seen on television. They were iconic for a lot of people, and Burke was a different kind of Black man than had been seen on television before, and Cristina was a different kind of woman than had been seen on television before.
I think that people really loved them together, as damaging as that relationship was for both of them. But something may have been boiling under the surface for Washington. Source Close to Washington: At least early on, it was not well organized or well run. Everyone would sit around in their trailers going crazy. That had a lot to do with what went down on the set. Kate Burton Dr. Ellis Grey : Everything went a little bit haywire behind the camera. Of course, it was very interesting, and some very interesting things came out of it in terms of how you talk to people, what are appropriate things to say, and what are inappropriate things to say.
When he finally did show up, Washington lost his temper. James D. Parriott executive producer : One of the reasons why the meltdown happened was that it was a night shoot.
Everybody was tired and wanted to go home. Mark Wilding writer : It was my episode. I think one of them had been late to set one day and the other one then decided to pay him back by being late himself. Then it sort of exploded. They got into an arguing match, and then before you know it they were physically fighting.
I was standing there in video village. Harry Werksman: Patrick Dempsey would show up exactly the moment he was due on set. He was always there earlier than he needed to be. That was part of his process. And Isaiah, for whatever reason that day, just took that the wrong way and he went after Patrick.
I guess he felt disrespected that he and the crew had been waiting. Marty Carrillo: I was behind the set and I heard the scuffle going on. Everyone knew T. For some reason, Isaiah just lost it and pinned Patrick up against the wall. Everyone had to leave the set.
Words were exchanged. People are people. Things are gonna explode occasionally. Source Close to Washington: I think it had less to do with homophobia and more to do with his own intimidating nature. It was more about his personality than it was about any homophobia or perceived homophobia. Isaiah was always the first to tell you that he played a gay guy in a Spike Lee movie.
Harry Werksman: ABC took it fairly seriously. Eric Buchman: There was this initial incident and things got downplayed. It seemed to almost resolve itself, because my impression was that the issues among the cast were never as bad as things were initially played out to be. What ultimately sealed the fate for Isaiah was when things came up again. That was the first time the cast had appeared in front of the press since the fight between Washington and Dempsey, so reporters lodged questions about the incident and its antigay slur.
