Isaiah Washington is retiring from acting.
The 59-year-old actor, best known for his work on Grey’s Anatomy, has announced his early retirement from on-screen work. He made the announcement on social media, declaring that the “haters” have won.
Isaiah wrote on Twitter that his film Corsicana may be his final time on the screen. Read his retirement announcement in full right here:
“It is with a heavy heart and a sense of relief that I am announcing my early retirement from the entertainment industry today.
Those who have been Following/Witnessing my journey here on Twatter since 2011 all know that I have fought the good fight, but it seems that the haters, provocateurs and the Useful Idiots have won.
I’m no longer interested in the back and forth regarding a ‘color construct’ that keeps us human beings divided nor am I interested in politics or anything vitriolic. I will be traveling this great country before it falls into Socialism and then Communism. Until then, know that this Frederick Douglass Conservative will keep his powder dry and loves you all! I am truly grateful for your support over the years. It looks like CORSICANA #CorsicanaMovie may be the last time you see me as an Actor born here in America.
Just know that I will be posting a few pictures of my retirement shenanigans here and there, but until then. Be safe out there. Your loved ones love you and need you. SALUTE! 🤙🏾.”
Back in 2007, Isaiah was fired from Grey’s Anatomy after he used a homophobic slur against co-star TR Knight.
