Katherine Heigl’s Brain Tumor May Be Curable, Claims Grey’s Anatomy Creator

Gotham’s 2008 production of Ariadne Unhinged.

After Grey’s Anatomy’s James Pickens Jr. told reporters this week that the show’s writers were planning for the departures of both Dr. O’Malley (T.R. Knight) and the brain-tumored Dr. Izzie (Katherine Heigl), creator and showrunner Shonda Rhimes claims they may pull through yet: “That was a very interesting rumor” she told People at the NAACP Image Awards last night. “And it’s not true.”

For his part, a probably chastised Pickens says his quote was taken out of context: “When the question was posed to me, I was more trying to congratulate Katie and T.R. on whatever they were going to do,” he told People. “But yeah, I don’t have any special info about it either way.”
