HOLLYWOOD - Grey's Anatomy star T.R. Knight has confirmed he is gay.
The actor, who plays unassuming Dr. George O’Malley on the hit series, decided to go public after rumors began surfacing about his sexuality.
Knight confirms to People magazine, "I guess there have been a few questions about my sexuality, and I'd like to quiet any unnecessary rumors that may be out there.
"While I prefer to keep my personal life private, I hope the fact that I'm gay isn't the most interesting part of me."
Media reports have suggested that Knight was forced out of the closet after details of a fight between costars Isaiah Washington and Patrick Dempsey became public.
According to the National Enquirer, the two got into a fight while filming the show last week and Washington allegedly yelled to Dempsey, "I'm not your little f*ggot like (name deleted)."
The publication said they withheld printing the actual name of the costar Washington mentioned "because of the extreme nature of the slur."
