Comments on: T.R. Knight Leaving ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ http://gone-hollywood.com/2007/01/4900/ News and commentary on celebrities. Especially hot female celebrities. Wed, 10 Feb 2010 06:40:35 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: Francesca http://gone-hollywood.com/2007/01/4900/comment-page-1/#comment-342684 Francesca Tue, 10 Apr 2007 08:25:39 +0000 http://hollywood.outsidethebeltway.com/2007/01/4900/#comment-342684 I think T. R. Knight is beyond pathetic and juvenile. He reminded me of a little kid tattling to the teacher on Ellen. I don't see why an adult couldn't have dealt with Washington personally and professionally, rather than cowardly throwing Washington to this P.C. lynch mob. Moreover, all we really know is that Washington is being shpped off to rehab for something he was rumoured to have said and then paraphrased later in a denial. Doesn't get much more 1984 than that.

And, then went on Ellen in full "pathetic George" persona and Washington still has not come forward about the ordeal. The little bastard sexually harassed Washington every sneaky chance he got.

At my old job, I was harassed by one of our clients, but because they were such big clients and because the person who did the harassing was a highly-paid on-air TV personality, my company decided not to pursue the issue. I was already looking for a new job anyway, so I simply broadened my net and reeled in a $6000 raise, better benefits (although vacation time accrues more slowly), better hours, less responsibility, and a more fun place to work. And now that same person is harassing my replacement. For me, it's because she thought I "consumed massive amounts of food" while on the job. For him, it's either that he's gay or that he smokes (I'm betting on the former). If he makes an issue of it, I'll totally back him up. But like I said, sometimes there's benefit in leaving.
