Post by: Sal

Isaiah Washington of "Grey's Anatomy" has entered therapy to help "understand" what caused him to utter a gay slur about castmate T.R. Knight.

The show's creator has also issued a statement saying she was shocked by Washington's use of the word "faggot" backstage at the Golden Globes last week and hopes that counseling will help Washington.

"With the support of my family and friends, I have begun counseling," Washington says in a statement. "I regard this as a necessary step toward understanding why I did what I did and making sure it never happens again. I appreciate the fact that I have been given this opportunity and I remain committed to transforming my negative actions into positive results, personally and professionally."
