Speaking with Huffpost Live about his return to feature films, former Grey's Anatomy star Isaiah Washington detailed the fallout his career suffered as a result of his calling castmate T.R. Knight a "faggot" on the set of Grey's Anatomy in 2007.
Knight later said the incident gave him the courage to come out publicly.
Washington claimed that "an agenda" ruined his career following his use of the anti-gay remarks.
"I didn't have a choice. After the incident at the Golden Globes everything just fell apart. It literally stopped.
Whatever the agenda, whatever the plan was it worked. I lost everything.
I couldn't afford to have an agent. I couldn't afford to have a publicist for the crisis management to continue. I couldn't afford to continue.
I went from 2 million dollars a year to residual checks. Zero. I couldn't get another apartment after I turned in my lease for my $3 million home. I had to put it in my wife's name. No one wanted to touch the name of Isaiah Washington for three years."
