Preston Burke Eats Crow


Although the character he plays on Grey's Anatomy is unable to apologize or admit his faults, Issiah Washington has finally come clean and admitted wrongdoing:
"I sincerely regret my actions and the unfortunate use of words during the recent incident on-set," Washington, 43, says in the statement. "Both are beneath my own personal standards. … I have nothing but respect for my coworkers … and have apologized personally to everyone involved."
...
So what actually happened between Washington and Dempsey? A set source says that when Knight, 33, was late to film a scene, a debate ensued between Dempsey and Washington, with Dempsey insisting on waiting for Knight before starting the scene. The argument quickly intensified, and the source says that yes, the alleged slur was used, but Knight was not present at the time. "Isaiah was running his mouth off," says the source. "Isaiah verbally attacked Patrick – he tore into him. Patrick's voice escalated and he did tell Isaiah to 'f– off, (but) that was as heated as Patrick got." [people]
I'm not sure the apology was enough... fans are kinda sick of his 'tude. They'd better beef up his plotline fast if they wanna maintain interest.

did he really try to choke him or were those reports exagurated? i would think he'd get fired for that (if not for the language used.)

unless someone from the inside starts talking, we may never know. but the initial reports state he did grab mcdreamy and push him up against a wall.

there was another article that described washington's previous outbursts -- on other jobs... he's apparently done shit like this b4.
