So this has been almost 20 years ago….and why is this important now? Everyone from this show is either still there, moved on, & still working somewhere in the industry. We have more important things going on right now in the present than to bring this back to light and make it news worthy to report. Grey's is still on & one of the longest running medical shows right now. Please report on more serious issues and matters that are happening in this country, vs. people who still have more money & opportunities than most at this point in time.
This is literally 20 years ago
This is not interesting
Darling, at some point, grace looks better than grudges. Isaiah’s moved on. The show? Flourishing. You? Thriving. So why are we still circling the same drain? Let’s not dim your glow with old news. Now, let’s pivot to something actually worth discussing, shall we?
It's been almost 20 years
Are you serious ? This is ridiculous nonsense to dredge up after all these years. She must need publicity so she is using this man's past ? Wild.
I stopped watching when he was fired
AND NO BLACK DOCTOR WAS ON EVER AGAIN SINCE EXCEPT FOR PAPA SMURF!!!!!!!!
She didn't care at the time about the homophobic slurs. Nobody defended T.R. except Katherine Heigl and Patrick Dempsey.
Shonda had to "let go" Isaiah at the time because the backlash grew a lot. Not because she cared about having a homophobic actor.
Half the cast not even there from 20 years ago bye Shonda
TR Knight said he wasn't talking to him and that he called Patrick Dempsey the word. Patrick got on everybody's nerves back then he was a male diva.
Joke and drama aside, this man is beyond fine 👌👌
Domestic love
What are u trying to do with this now?
If it was a white person would this be brought up
Also what if his career is ruined by this
Click bait story
Oh pls he said it twice once on set to demean tr and once again publicly at the after award interview in front of everyone while grinning and he still kept his job and got hired by the cw after. Shame on him and every person who defend him, how would he have felt if tr or dempsey called him a sIur, twice in order to humiliate him.
This show is still on ⁉️I watched this from the beginning 😳
She's a cold sister ..
Girl nobody is still traumatized the only one that is still talking about it is you.
Man, Grey's ratings must actually be hurting. I thought it was a bunch of haters, but if Shonda is drudging up very old drama to stay relevant, that's a sign. 😔
He lost his career and people now they are saying words like Donald Trump in the Republican party but this one man lost his career
Girl, bye
Girl boo. Gone somewhere with this lie. Get a life, Shonda!
