Grey’s Anatomy Stars’ Altercation Unveiled in New Tell-All Book

A recent tell-all book, How to Save a Life: The Inside Story of Grey's Anatomy, sheds light on the heated altercation between Grey's Anatomy stars Isaiah Washington and Patrick Dempsey, which led to Washington's departure from the show.

Mark Wilding, a writer featured in the book, recounted being present on set when the clash ensued, triggered by both actors being late for filming.

Detailing the incident, Wilding revealed, “It was my episode.

I think one of them had been late to set one day and the other one then decided to pay him back by being late himself.

Then it sort of exploded.”

Attempts to reach out to Washington's representatives for comment by DailyMail.com were unsuccessful.

Wilding further narrated that the situation escalated into a physical altercation between Washington and Dempsey, with the writer choosing not to intervene immediately due to safety concerns despite being bigger than both actors.

Washington reportedly confronted Dempsey verbally, drawing comparisons between his treatment and that of their co-star, T. R. Knight, before directing a homophobic slur at Dempsey.

Marty Carillo described the aftermath as unexpected, with the cast and crew somberly dispersing from the production area post the altercation.

Dempsey shared his perspective, acknowledging the incident as a pivotal moment that ultimately fostered unity among the cast and crew, prompting self-reflection and growth.

Following his dismissal from the show, Washington made a brief return in 2014, reflecting on the circumstances leading to his exit and the differing visions held by the network and studio regarding his future on Grey's Anatomy.
