After an on-set incident, Washington apoligized for "unfortunate remarks" that he had made. But at a photo opportunity, he said "No, I did not call T. R. Knight a faggot... Never happened, never happened." Later, it was revealed that is exactly what did happen, when Knight appeared on Ellen: "He referred to me as a faggot. Everyone heard it." Washington then issued another extra special apology, and entered counseling.
