This really sucks if true! What the F*#% is wrong with the shows producers? I mean, all the awards the show is winning and the support from the cast for their fellow actor. Why wasn't Isaiah fired over this?

1. This has to be hard on him

I don't understand why Michael Richards was chastised so much in the media for his remarks and Isaiah Washington goes to rehab. Come on. I saw TR on Ellen's show 2 weeks ago. He seemed so hurt by the entire controversy. I wish him the best of luck - plus I love his character and I will miss him bunches if he goes.

2. Why should he leave? Washington should be fired...

...for his remarks. They were just as bad as remarks made against any ethnic group or against women IMO.

3. Yeah. It sounds like he's an asshole

and this isn't the first time his mouth has gotten him in trouble.

4. Maybe T.R.

is trying to send the show's producers a message. Hey, I have all this support,the network looks bad for not taking the proper action, the show is at its height right now and I quit. This will make the show look real bad and Mr.Washington will be even more hated by the public and cast over this. If i was a producer on the show on heard he was considering this, I'd call Isiah up in rehab and say "YOUR FIRED!" and while your at it give T.R. a raise!!!

5. How would Isaiah Washington like it if someone else was

throwing around the *n word*?

Washington should be fired. Now.

6. His is one of my favorite characters on the show.

I really, really hope he doesn't leave.

7. NO! NONONONONONONO

George can't leave. I love George. :cry:

8. Sounds like a simple case of harrassment.

Washington harrassed Knight, Knight was ordered to keep silent about it, Washington continued to harrass him, and management effectively took Washington's side, forcing Knight to quit (if he does quit).

How would a jury view that?

[romantico]

9. I agree 100%!!!

I am so sick and tired of this shit. How dare they order him to be silent when HE WASN'T THE ONE WHO MADE A HATEFUL SLUR! Did they ask Mr.Washington to remain silent? I doubt they did or he would not have brought the subject up at the Golden Globes. I wish the other actors would threatned to leave unless they fire that jerk! I hope this explodes in the producers/ABC's face! Anyone have an email so we can start a campaign for this? I know Perez Hilton has been taking alot of action against this but haven;t heard of anyone else!

10. I saw on tv earlier tonight,

that he is NOT leaving.

11. Washington needs to go and he should not be given the option to quit. nt.
