Shonda Rhimes just dropped a bombshell: the cast of Grey’s Anatomy is still dealing with the emotional aftermath of the Isaiah Washington scandal, nearly two decades later. In a recent interview, the showrunner said the on-set chaos surrounding Washington’s 2006 firing created lasting trauma for cast and crew, admitting “we all thought the show might end.” Washington was let go after using a homophobic slur during a reported altercation with castmate T.R. Knight. While Grey’s went on to become a TV juggernaut, Rhimes says the fallout forced the team to rebuild trust from scratch. “It changed how we did everything after that,” she said. The comments have reignited fan debates about the show’s behind-the-scenes history. 📷 Getty
