Remember when I posted last week that Isaiah Washington was fired from “Grey’s Anatomy” and released the statement “I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take it” …? It seems the comment wasn’t sarcastic or a joke. The man is sincerely pissed.

“If they wanted to fire him,” Howard Bragman (Isaiah Washington’s spokesman) asks, “why didn’t they fire him when [the incident] happened? Why did they say, ‘Here’s what you need to do if you want to come back… ‘ and then, when he did everything that was asked of him, he still gets fired. Why do you treat somebody like that?”

“If you made a mistake, you acknowledged the mistake, you went into counseling, you met with the groups, you did the PSA, you did everything that was asked of you, and then they still kick you in the gut? How would you feel?”

While Bragman says there was no formal agreement with ABC that if Washington did X, Y and Z he could keep his job, “There was a discussion and it was agreed upon that this is what needs to be done to come back, and he did everything,” he notes. “And, in fact, WE were the ones that pushed for the PSA.”

Even if Isaiah Washington is dumb enough to try and sue ABC, it wouldn’t matter. ABC would win hands down. Executive Producers can fire anyone they want from a TV show for whatever reason they want. The only issue is that ABC may have to give an actor extra money for terminating a contract early. However, Washington’s contract was up anyway and ABC just didn’t renew it.
