6. Isaiah Washington – Insulted Co Star
In the height of popularity for ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy, there was no shortage of tabloid headlines surrounding its cast. Tales of diva antics and egos running wild, made the on set drama even more shocking than when the cameras were rolling. During an altercation between Isaiah Washington andPatrick Dempsey, Washington allegedly referred to their fellow cast member, T.R. Knight, as a “faggot.” The gay community, as well as many other people in the entertainment industry, called for Washington’s termination. The outrage wouldn’t have been as bad if he hadn’t used that one defamatory word, and he probably wouldn’t have lost his job either. Since then, Washington hasn’t been on the go-to list for Hollywood jobs and many still think of him as a homophobe.
