isaiah washington enters "treatment"

Isaiah Washington has entered a treatment facility. This is what sources connected to ABC and Touchstone have confirmed to me, after Life & Style magazine broke the story about an hour ago.

According to my ABC sources, one of the options the higher-ups at ABC/Disney had been considering was to release Washington from the cast of Grey's Anatomy, without giving him a farewell episode. However, I'm told by an insider that Washington agreed to do "whatever it takes" to keep his position at Grey's and to make amends with the gay and lesbian community. He also vowed to seek help for his psychological issues—hence, his entry into a treatment facility this morning.

there's also statements from shonda, isaiah and the president of glaad. i personally think it's lame - he's going into counseling to learn to not be an arrogant, homophobic douchebag? that sounds like a personality flaw to me, not a psychological issue. :x they should fire his ass.

thoughts?

I agree with you. I think he has anger management issues, and perhaps he needs treatment for that, but…I think this is a case of too little too late.
