I'm sure you all know the 'wahala' this guy has been going through since last year after calling one of his cast mates in Grey's Anatomy,TR Knight, a faggot. Maybe he shouldn't have done that, a hostile environment isn't ideal for work, nothing productive will come out of it, I understand that, but on second thought there's freedom of expression isn't there? The American public and especially the press have blown it all out of propotion. At a point, an online petition was sent to bosses at ABC asking the network to fire Washington, and was signed by over 9,000 people. Instead of sacking him, the execs insisted on Isaiah going to a treatment facility to seek help. For what? Calling a gay guy a faggot? I think that was too drastic.
Anyway in a bid to redeem his image in the eyes of the world, Isaiah recently made a donation in the amount of $25,000 to help fund a project about Sierra Leone.
He doesn't need to redeem his image in my eyes...He's still a cool dude to me.
