After making the post-Globes comment that he did NOT call T.R. Knight a "faggot"...

More drama has ensued, and this is not in the script!

T.R. Knight says that the October incident caused him to come out:

In an interview with Ellen DeGeneres set to air Wednesday, Knight says something changed inside him when he overheard an argument in October between Washington and Grey's co-star Patrick Dempsey during which Washington used the slur.

"It's an awesome word, isn't it?" the 33-year-old actor tells DeGeneres sarcastically. "I've never been called that to my face. So I think when that happened, something shifted, and it became bigger than myself."

Katherine Heigl, Grey's Anatomy star and close friend of Knight...Chimed in as well:

Heigl, who is close friends with Knight, criticized Washington's statement. "I'm going to be really honest right now, he needs to just not speak in public. Period," she told Access Hollywood's Shaun Robinson. "I'm sorry, that did not need to be said, I'm not okay with it."
