I’ve posted over and over again about the whole Isaiah Washington scandal on “Grey’s Anatomy” but it seems Shonda Rhimes (the shows creator) finally broke her silence. In an interview with TV Guide she really tears into Washington:

So the decision to fire Isaiah was not something that was imposed on you?
Rhimes: The great thing about [ABC Studios head] Mark Pedowitz and [ABC president] Steve McPherson is they never imposed anything on me.

So you agreed with the decision?
Rhimes: Of course I did.

When was the moment when you realized, ‘You know, we’re going to have to make a change here?’
Rhimes: Again, I feel like this is stuff that happened in our family, and I don’t want to give specifics on sort of how and what happened. But there was a moment when I was sure and felt good and comfortable about the decision and that it was the right decision to be made for everybody.
