T.R. Knight Leaving "Grey's Anatomy"

T.R. Knight, who plays George O'Malley on Grey's Anatomy, has asked producers to write him off the show. A source close to the situation says that most likely Knight will get his wish and be released from his contract.

There have been rumors that Knight have not been attending table-reads for upcoming episodes. There were also rumors that he walked off the set and that he cleaned out his dressing room. According to a rep, the rumors are false. “He has been there every day. He was at a table read yesterday. He hasn’t said goodbye to anyone,” said the rep. There was also the rumor that Knight was still upset about Isaiah Washington's alleged use of a homophobic slur about him, which prompted Knight to reveal he is gay, and how Shonda Rhimes, the show's creator, took so long to rectify with Washington's dismissal. This rumor was also false. “The Isaiah stuff has no relevance at all,” says a source. “T.R. doesn’t even know why people would mention it. It was so long ago.”

The reason Knight wants to leave, according to the source, is because he has had so little screen time this season. “It’s time to move on,” says the source. “It just feels like this is the right time to go.”

Best of luck to you T.F. Knight.
