TMZ has confirmed that Isaiah Washington has been fired from the ABC hit "Grey's Anatomy."


Washington's rep, Howard Bragman, confirmed this evening to TMZ that "Grey's" creator Shonda Rhimes called Isaiah today and told him he would not be invited back to the show next season. TV Guide's Michael Ausiello, who first broke the story, reports that the decision was due only in part to Washington's on-set troubles, and was a result of a "pattern of problematic behavior."

As for how he feels about his termination, Washington issued the following statement: "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore."

Paging a mediator, STAT!



I knew that he wasn't going to come back after the finale. :neutral

Thank god..I did not like his character any how.

good!

I liked him in the show.. but I don't like him in real life.

I kinda figured that he wasn't coming back

ok which one was he???

that's bullshit!!!

I liked him in the show.. but I don't like him in real life.

:yes i really liked his character, but he seems like he must be a total a-hole in real life

ok which one was he???

He was the black male heart surgeon that was going to marry Christine.

I'm kinda sad but glad to see him go.

awwww I liked his charecter. I know he said some questionable things that I DID not agree with IRL but still sad to see his charecter go. I wonder how they are going to write him off.

I had a feeling after what he did that thery would not bring him back.

Eh, it's no loss really. I would have been really upset if George wasn't coming back.

I thought George was going to be the one leaving because of how the season ended.....Im glad hes not though!!

they should boot george/izzy sickening butt...LOL

Well all his stuff was gone from the Apt. when Christina came home... so... my guess is that's how he's gone!

I agree he was good in the show but he wont be missed next season.

:yes Me too. I can live without Dr. Burke, and Isaiah Washington needs to get over himself in general.

Hey at least Shonda Rhimes fired him herself, that's not how it normally goes. Usually their people get in touch with your people.

i just don't think the show is going to be the same, burke's gone addison is gone. i hope that it doesn't ruin the show. yet i pretty much figured it whith how he left christina. well i guess we shall see how it goes in sept. can't wait or the new season!!!
