The stars of medical drama `Grey’s Anatomy’ were involved in a massive on set brawl last week. Sources say actor Isaiah Washington, who plays Dr Preston, attacked Patrick Dempsey, Dr Shepherd in the hit show, following a long-simmering feud.
The fight is said to have broken out in the studio when Isiah, 43, and Patrick, 40, started bickering over cast members being late for a scene. An onlooker says the pair “had words”, before Patrick confronted his cast mate. The source says “Patrick told Isaiah to ‘Pick on somebody your own size’. This infuriated Isiah who grabbed Patrick by the throat and shoved him back a few feet.” TR Knight – who plays mild mannered Dr George o’oalley – then got involved. “Isaiah called him a bitch and then stormed out to his trailer to cool off.” The director and producers have organised a meeting with the network executives to settle the dispute. Patrick’e spokesperson says “In any close-knit family, sometimes people argue. But everybody made up and went back to work.”
