Oh dear. It’s true. Mr. Washington has gone from perpetrator to victim. Doctor to patient. The closet case, er, homophobe is in therapy for his use of an anti-gay slur against a castmate, T.R. Knight.
''With the support of my family and friends, I have begun counseling. I regard this as a necessary step toward understanding why I did what I did and making sure it never happens again,'' Washington said in a statement Wednesday. ''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.''
Translation: I want to keep my job.
Washington took a break from filming Tuesday to meet with gay rights activists and offer help in educating the public about the cruelty of such words, an offer the activists called sincere.
Whether Washington was receiving outpatient counseling or had entered a facility was not specified, and the statement did not indicate whether he would miss work on the show.
Washington's publicist, Kelly Mullens, declined to comment further. A call to ABC about the effect on production of the hit TV show was not immediately returned Wednesday.
