Isaiah Washington Enters Rehab Facility

Isaiah Washington has reportedly entered a rehab facility in an attempt to save his job on the hit television show Grey’s Anatomy. Life & Style reports:

Grey’s Anatomy star Isaiah Washington has entered a residential treatment facility in an effort to quell the controversy surrounding his anti-gay remarks — and save his job, Life & Style has learned exclusively. According to an insider, Isaiah, who issued an apology for his statements on Jan. 18, agreed to undergo a psychological assessment after talks with ABC executives. The married 43-year-old father of three was spotted entering the facility at 9 a.m. today (Jan. 24).

Isaiah, who plays Dr. Preston Burke on the show, became embroiled in controversy for making a homophobic remark about Grey’s castmate T.R. Knight during an on-set argument last fall. (T.R., 33, publicly announced that he is gay after the incident.) The controversy reignited after the Jan. 15 Golden Globe Awards, at which Isaiah denied ever making the comment — but used the anti-gay slur in his denial. “ABC has told him he must enter a program to examine why he would say such hateful words,” the insider says.
