The feud between “Grey’s Anatomy” stars Isaiah Washington and Katherine Heigl has been reignited.
On Monday, Washington (Dr. Preston Burke) tweeted a photo of him and Heigl (Dr. Izzie Stevens).
“This woman once proclaimed that I should ‘never’ be allowed to speak publicly again. The world agreed with her proclamation back then and protested for my job and my head in 65 languages. I wish I was on Twitter in 2007 because I will NEVER stop exercising my free speech,” he captioned the post.

It is unclear what sparked Washington’s tweets this time, but the beef between the former co-stars started in 2007. Washington was removed from the cast after using homophobic slurs towards co-star, T. R. Knight (Dr. George O’Malley).
Heigl interviewed with Access Hollywood where she heavily criticized Washington’s comments.“I’m going to be really honest right now, he needs to just not speak in public. Period. I’m sorry, that did not need to be said, I’m not OK with it.”
According to Washington Hollywood blacklisted him as a result. “After the incident at the Golden Globes, everything just fell apart. I lost everything,” he told Huff Post in 2013.
