WASHINGTON SACKS PUBLICIST

LATEST: Troubled GREY'S ANATOMY star ISAIAH WASHINGTON has sacked his longtime publicist in the midst of his public relations crisis.

Isaiah Washington at The '38th Annual NAACP Image Awards' Nominations Press Conference held at The Peninsula Hotel. Beverly Hills, California - 09.01.07

Washington is facing a public backlash after making comments in the Golden Globes press room last week (15JAN07), denying he made derogatory comments towards co-star TR KNIGHT.

According to TVGuide.com, the actor has hired publicists ALLEN MAYER and KELLY MULLENS, who are crisis management experts.

Mayer has done damage control for clients including R KELLY, TOMMY LEE and comedian PAULA POUNDSTONE.

Washington has issued a public apology and agreed to meet with members of the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD).
