The National Enquirer, who first reported on the physical altercation, which took place recently between actors Isaiah Washington and Patrick Dempsey on the set of “Grey’s Anatomy,” is now stating that they have more details about the incident. From their website:

“The melee has set off World War III on the show and may cost Isaiah his job,” an insider told The ENQUIRER.

“The cast is divided over the shameful event.” As The ENQUIRER exclusively revealed last week, Patrick and Isaiah clashed over cast members being late to the set, right before shooting a scene at Prospect Studios in Los Angeles. A heated discussion quickly escalated to violence when Isaiah snapped, revealed an eyewitness. At one point, Isaiah yelled, “I’m not your little faggot like (name deleted),” according to the source. Those who heard him were stunned.

Hmm. Maybe he should go with the most popular excuse of the day–he was drunk.
