UPDATED with links - Sign The 'Fire Isaiah Washington' Petition?

To: ABC
On Wednesday, October 11, 2006, People Magazine reported Isaiah Washington and Patrick Dempsey, two stars of the hit show "Grey’s Anatomy" got into a fight.

The argument quickly heated and Washington grabbed Dempsey by the throat and yelled "I’m not your little Fa**ot like T.R Knight" According to sources from the set people were shocked.

On October 22, 2006, TMZ reported that the scuffle between Washington and Dempsey wasn’t his first fight on a set that got physical.

In 2000 Washington was shooting for the show "Soul Food." They were shooting a scene where Washington was supposed to give his wife a "superficial kiss." The crew was shocked when they saw what happened when shooting the scene; Washington gave her a "forceful, aggressive kiss" and the actress was left startled and mad.


Also in 1997 Washington was on the set of a TV show called "High Incident." He was a guest on the show, but was quickly changed after he and a crew member got into a "physical altercation." The incident was so serious that the police were called.

Shonda Rhimes, the creator of Grey’s Anatomy gave this statement: "I found (those rumors) ridiculous that we would consider replacing a member of our family."

After that statement AfterElton.com asked the question "If Knight had called Washington the N-word, wouldn't he be fired?"

Being on a hit TV show is a privilege, not a right. If you want Isaiah Washington off Grey’s Anatomy and replaced by an actor who will actually appreciate being on a successful show sign this petition.
Isaiah's an a-hole, that fact is not up for debate, but who is behind this petition?! I need to find that out because the creator of this petition could have an ulterior motive. Is he/she racist? An offended member of the gay/lesbian community? A bitter aspiring actor?

"Replaced by an actor who will actually appreciate being on a successful show sign this petition." - How can he/she make the assessment that Isaiah doesn't appreciate being on Grey's Anatomy?! Jealous anyone?

Did Hollywood boycott Mel Gibson after he went on his anti-semitic rant? His latest movie, Apocalypto, debuted at #1. Chew on that folks. Ya know, if you could actually chew on words. You know I mean meditate on that, as in think about it. Ya know I need to stop typing now. Okay. :)
