Isaiah Washington press conference controversy

At the winners' press conference following the awards ceremony, Isaiah Washington addressed the scandal involving alleged homophobic remarks towards Grey's Anatomy co-star T. R. Knight, stating, "No, I did not call him a faggot", while executive producer Shonda Rhimes and other cast members looked on. Katherine Heigl publicly condemned Washington for his remarks, intensifying tensions on set and contributing to a strained atmosphere. This eventually led to Washington's exit from the show, as the on-set environment became untenable.{{cite web |last=Karger |first=Dave |date=2007-01-19 |title=Global Warming |url=https://ew.com/article/2007/01/19/ew-looks-back-64th-golden-globe-awards/ |access-date=2011-11-01 |publisher=EW.com}}{{cite web |title=Articles about T R Knight by Date – Page 5 – Los Angeles Times |url=http://articles.latimes.com/keyword/t-r-knight/recent/5 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121105034601/http://articles.latimes.com/keyword/t-r-knight/recent/5 |archive-date=November 5, 2012 |access-date=2011-11-01 |publisher=Articles.latimes.com}}{{cite web |date=January 17, 2007 |title=Katherine Heigl Slams CoStar over Homophobic Slur |url=http://www.hollywood.com/news/Heigl_Slams_CoStar_over_Homophobic_Slur/3609381 |access-date=November 4, 2011 |publisher=Hollywood.com}}{{cite web |date=2007-07-31 |title=CNN.com – Transcripts |url=http://archives.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0707/31/sbt.01.html |access-date=2011-11-01 |publisher=Archives.cnn.com}}
