LOS ANGELES - Isaiah Washington's landlord has started an eviction procedure against the former "Grey's Anatomy" star, claiming he owes $100,000 in rent.

Documents filed in Santa Monica, Calif., on Tuesday claim that Washington and his wife have fallen behind on their $20,000 a month payments on a home in the Venice area of Los Angeles.

The complaint filed by Sandalwood Properties states the Washingtons have not paid rent since November.

A phone message left with Washington's agent was not immediately returned.




The 45-year-old actor lost his role on "Grey's Anatomy" in 2007 after using an anti-gay slur at the Golden Globe Awards. He has since appeared in a handful of episodes in other TV series.

The filing was first reported by RadarOnline.com.

sad..for his wife.

$20,000 a month is so obscene. I find it hard to feel bad for anyone in that bracket. Maybe they'll have to get a normal home...GASP!

Unfortunate. I hope he gets a handle on things.

Gawd damn, I think as soon as he was off Greys (or within 2 months) they should have moved to something more affordable. I hate what he said, but I don't wish this on him, his wife or his kids

Let me clarify...
If they are just flat broke and can't afford anything. I feel bad for anyone in that situation.

If this is a matter of they can't afford $20,000 a month and might have to "make due" with a mac mansion someplace not gated. Fuck that.

I agree Johnart. Are we suppose to say Boo-hoo?
