He drew fire after using the anti-gay epithet backstage at the Golden Globe Awards in January while denying he'd used it previously on the set against cast mate T.R. Knight.
Gay rights groups and cast member Katherine Heigl, who publicly denounced Washington, were among his most vocal critics.
"This is something that will have changed the scope of his life," Heigl told Entertainment Weekly last month. Washington was "sorry and embarrassed" for the mistake, she said.
Washington tried to make amends and said he was seeking therapy.
He also met with officials from the Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network and the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation and filmed a public service announcement in which he said "words have power" to hurt or heal.
Ok , let me just say this was overkill from day one. I am not saying the "F" word is a good word, it's not. But he said it out of anger and to a non-gay person.
Plus he apologized and went to rehab(?) He didnt say it to TR Knight. geesh. this show is going to suck now. I think Dr. Burke's character was a large part of the show. Now that Whiney Bitch (yeah I said it)
T.R. Knight is rumored to be leaving and judging by the season finale he just might be. I also love the character of George and Addison is having her spin off so who's left? The Chief rocks, Dr. Bailey is my homegirl. I HATE that big baby Meredith, I know it's her show and all, but she needs to grow up already. I will still tune in,
because in all honesty it is a great show, but with so many of it's main
character's leaving , where will it go and who will they bring in to take our minds off of our loss?
See this is why I like ER, you never have this over at NBC!
