Last week, Entertainment Weekly and E! Online reported that a diva cast member on Grey’s Anatomy was getting himself/herself into some hot water. A source close to the show revealed that "the reason [the actor] has not been on is because [he or she] has been a pain in the ass lately, trying to change scenes and dialogue, being hard to work with and putting up an attitude. The higher-ups were getting tired of it, so they tweaked [him or her] out of some episodes. That's why you haven't really seen [him or her] lately." Everyone, including BuddyTV, jumped to the conclusion that it was T.R. Knight, since he has been M.I.A. from just about every major storyline this season.  E!’s Kristen Dos Santos, however,  told her readers to guess again and “keep trying to figure it out”.

If anyone did assume that it was T.R. Knight who was getting fired, they had good reason. The website Crazy Days and Nights, run by a Hollywood entertainment lawyer, said that they had inside information on T.R.’s on set tantrums. “So, I got a little more information from my source and they say, ‘He hasn't attended table reads since episode 2. He is pissed and miserable and thinks his story line is stupid. He said goodbye to his hair and makeup people last week. He says he is done and has quit. ABC has not released him. Shondra Rhimes, the producer called him and he told her he had nothing to say. He has packed his dressing room.’ That is all the information we have at this time,” the website posted.

The rumors must have caught the attention of the people at Grey’s Anatomy because a spokesperson for the show has already responded to the claims, dismissing them completely, of course. Yesterday, the spokesperson told Entertainment Tonight, "T.R. has never walked off set in the middle of filming. He attended the table read today and will be shooting this week, like any other week of production."
