Snitching sources at ABC report that Isaiah Washington lust for making defamatory remarks may just cost him a cut in pay.

All the actors are in the midst of contract renegotiations,” a source said. “But ABC is using Isaiah’s recent troubles to keep from paying him more.” Washington recently had to go into anger-management rehab after he’d called fellow co-star T.R. Knight a “f – - – - t.”

“Isaiah knows it is his fault that he may not get the fat raise he was going to get. ABC doesn’t have to give him anything – he is under contract for seven years – and this is going to cost him millions. It’s just a bitter pill he is going to have to swallow.” A rep for Washington said, “We are going to do our business in private, not in the press.”
