In response to Washington’s use of the slur when addressing the situation last night, [costar Katherine] Heigl spoke out.“I’m going to be really honest right now, he needs to just not speak in public. Period. I’m sorry, that did not need to be said, I’m not okay with it,” Katherine told Shaun.
After making his comments in the press room, Washington came straight to Access Hollywood’s Billy Bush and Nancy O’Dell to explain.“There is no way I could do anything so vile, and so horrible, not only to a castmate, but to a fellow human being,” he insisted…Washington also said that he and co-star Patrick Dempsey have moved beyond the October incident.“I kiss Patrick Dempsey. We sing ‘Ebony and Ivory’ everyday since the so-called incident and it hasn’t come up. We purposely sing ‘Ebony and Ivory’ every night since October 9 and nobody has written about it,” he added.

He better cool out if he want his job you know not too many white folks gone stand for him saying the word "faggot" to much longer
