Washington Launches Image War
An old, largely forgotten battle reignites this morning.
Former Grey’s Anatomy actor Isaiah Washington, who left the show after calling costar TR Knight a “faggot,” has filed a complaint against ABC for using his picture in a recent episode of the popular show about doctors and their problems.
[Washington] claims the producers failed to get consent over the use of the picture.His attorney, Peter Nelson, sent notices to ABC and SAG indicating the alleged inappropriate use of Washington’s image, the actor’s manager Howard Bragman said.
“They have the rights of the character to advance the story, but not the image,” he said, adding that what he expects out of this debacle is a “financial settlement.”
Of course he does…
I wanted to feel bad for this guy – but he is such a douche bag.
Despite what anyone thinks of him, he, like anyone else, has the right to be compensated for the commercial use of his image. That is a celebrity’s stock in trade.
Howard Bragman basically controls Hollywood (in his mind). To piss him off means the city will crumble.
Bragman…. the big fat fucking fag that covers up homophobes for a few bucks to feed his fat fucking face.
Washington and Bragman…two of the biggest self absorbed non entities in the city.
Wake up you two..nobody gives a fuck about you and your little bigoted Nipsey Russell.
Isaiah Washington: still a dick! In an ever-changing world, it’s nice to know that some things will always stay the same.
I agree with Bean: Isiah Washington = total dick!
Bleech..Bleech Washington. He is such an idiot and very immature speaker.He is no different from
Nixion!!!!!
Boy, that career really took off, huh?
