Life and Style Exclusive: Isaiah Washington Enters Treatment Facility!

Grey's Anatomy star Isaiah Washington has entered a residential treatment facility in an effort to quell the controversy surrounding his anti-gay remarks--and save his job, Life and Style has learned exclusively.

According to an insider, Isaiah, who issued an apology for his statements on Jan. 18, agreed to undergo a psychological assessment after talks with ABC executives.

The married, 43-year-old father of three was spotted entering the facility at 9 a.m. today(Jan.24).

Isaiah who played Dr. Preston Burke on the show, became embroiled in controversy for making a homophobic remark about Grey's castmate T.R. Knight during an on-set argument last fall. (T.R., 33, publicly announced that he is gay after the incident).

The controversy reignited after the Jan. 15 Golden Globe Awards, at which Isaiah denied ever making the comment-but used the anti-gay slur in his denial.

"ABC has told him he must enter a program to examine why he would say such hateful words," the insider says.

???
so now being an asshole is a disease that requires rehab?

That's bizzare. He is enter a treatment center for being a homophobe. Ridiculous.

I'm all confused now - I had no idea there was treatment for stupidity or assholism..

[LynnieD]

Are you fucking kidding me with this???? Boy, he is desperate.

Weren't we all saying how funny it would be if he suddenly went into rehab?? Course we were talking booze or drugs or something. What a tool.

For the love of Christ...Is it a requirement that every star go to rehab these days? Good Lord...

[sluce]

It is insane that ABC required this. It wasn't IW's idea. He was told to enter or lose his job. So there are more fucktards at ABD making the decision. I can just see the start of the meeting...

IW: "Hello, my name is Isaiah and I am a homophobe".
Group Leader: "Hi Isaiah, welcome. The rest of us have real addictions but what the hell you can play with us anyway. We hope you will make a financial contribution since you being here is taking up our valuable time from recovery."

.....I would diagnose a terminal case of hoof in mouth disease.....

[LynnieD]

You know seriously, just fire the asshole already and be done with it.

Though, its almost comical to see him jumping through hoops like this, just do us all a favor and ditch his ass. He's obviously got issues, let him go.

This cannot be serious! Every fucking stupid thing a person does requires treatment???

Exactly. WTF?

I was thinking a couple weeks ago that he's the subject of a Blind Item, married TV star with kids who's vociferously anti-gay but actually secretly gay himself. Forget which BI it is, there are so many.

I didn't see this one - but I definitely get this off him.

Maybe he can pray the anti-gay away! He can be an ex-anti-gay! Jesus loves him! He can be cured!
