Isaiah Washington, a star of TV hospital drama Grey's Anatomy who used an anti-gay slur against a fellow cast member, will not return for the show's fourth season.
ABC Studios has declined to renew the actor's option to play Dr. Preston Burke on the show, which won a Golden Globe this year for best television drama, according to the report.
Washington sparked controversy after a heated on-set argument last year in which he reportedly called actor T.R. Knight a "faggot."
Knight came out as gay in a public announcement shortly afterward and last week confirmed what Washington had said - and initially denied.
