This is the same Ellen Pompeo that refused to play the white love interest of Isaac Washington's character in Grey's Anatomy.......
LOL. You're thinking of Isaiah Washington. If I remember correctly she didn't refuse to pair with him, but I she was hesitant. But that was because of her relationship with Chris. Ultimately, I seem to recall that the choice wasn't hers to make anyway.
...which is of course messed up, because she wouldn't have said or felt that if both guys were white. What a world.
Are sure that she was the mistress that he left his pregnant wife for? I always thought that the mistress was Asian.
Is it possible it had anything to do with her run-ins with Isaiah Washington on set? Wasn't she the cast member who was offended by some of his anti-gay remarks or something like that?
I couldn't find a picture of her, but Comedian Michael Blackson's Baby Mama of his younger twin sons is white:
