Isaiah Washington press conference controversy At a backstage press conference following the awards ceremony, Isaiah Washington addressed a media report involving alleged homophobic remarks towards Grey's Anatomy co-star T. R. Knight, stating, "No, I did not call him a faggot." Knight's co-star, Katherine Heigl condemned Washington for his remarks at a Golden Globes afterparty. The resulting scandal led to Washington's exit from the show.
