Isaiah Washington - Grey's Anatomy Star Confirms He's Gay

GREY'S ANATOMY star T R KNIGHT has confirmed he is gay. The actor, who plays unassuming DR GEORGE O'MALLEY on the hit series, decided to go public after rumours began surfacing about his sexuality. Knight confirms to American publication People, "I guess there have been a few questions about my sexuality, and I'd like to quiet any unnecessary rumours that may be out there. "While I prefer to keep my personal life private, I hope the fact that I'm gay isn't the most interesting part of me." Media reports have suggested that Knight was forced out of the closet after details of a fight between co-stars ISAIAH WASHINGTON and PATRICK DEMPSEY became public. According to the National Enquirer, the two got into a fight while filming the show last week (09OCT06) and Washington allegedly yelled to Dempsey, "I'm not your little faggot like (name deleted)." The publication said they withheld printing the actual name of the co-star Washington mentioned "because of the extreme nature of the slur."
