See? It's not all peaches and roses all the time! It's
McDreamy vs.
Burke! Apparently there was a bit of a scuffle on the set of
Grey's Anatomy - Patrick Dempsey and
Isaiah Washington on Monday. They nearly came to blows during a spat over shooting issues. And for those who think The Enquirer is hogwash, know this: it's now been confirmed by MULTIPLE sources)
Read on for the juicy scoop:
According to The Enquirer's source, the unscripted drama played out like this:
"What are we waiting on?" said
Isaiah."Not me," said
Patrick. "I'm always ready."
"At that point," said the source, "Isaiah said something mean to
T.R. Knight" (who plays mild-mannered Dr.
George O'Malley)."
That's when
Patrick told
Isaiah, 'Pick on somebody your own size.'"
Well, that did it. Isaiah became enraged and grabbed
Patrick by the throat and shoved him back a few feet. "Dr.
McDreamy [Dempsey's nickname] almost landed in McDreamland."
When
Knight demanded that the pair break it up, the source says, "
Isaiah called him a @#%$.
Isaiah stormed off to his trailer to cool off, while
Patrick and
T.R. stood there in disbelief."The director and producers got involved, and a meeting was organized with the network execs.
"Washington came back to the set, and the actors finished their scene, but feelings are still said to be raw, with neither actor offering an apology."
Isaiah is a theater-trained actor who can't stand the whole
McDreamy magazine-cover-boy furor over
Patrick," says the source.
Our source denied
Washington choked
Dempsey, but confirmed,
"Isaiah said some disgusting things. He was in
Patrick's face. I think Isaiah has issues. There's an underlying jealousy. But it's not
Patrick's fault. They've put a lot of pressure on him by making him the face of the show.
Patrick never asked for it, but he promotes the show whole-heartedly."
Enquirer editor David Perel told us "the sourcing on this story is rock-solid."
Dempsey's spokeswoman said, "There was an argument on set. In any close-knit family, sometimes people argue. But everybody made up and went back to work."
