Katherine Heigl may be getting her wish to exit Grey's Anatomy -- and BFF T.R. Knight could be right behind her.
The controversial and outspoken actress, who won an Emmy for her role as Dr. Izzie Stevens, has not been shy about criticizing the popular medical drama and its writers. Both Heigl and Knight have been vocal about wanting out of their contracts.

Now, co-star James Pickens Jr. reportedly has confirmed their departures to Us Weekly magazine.
When asked by the magazine at a recent event whether Heigl was leaving the show, Pickens replisd, "Yes, she is." Asked about Knight, Pickens said, "He's going, too."

Nothing is confirmed, as Grey's creator Shonda Rhimes runs a notoriously tight ship. But we'd be surprised if the rumors are not true.
Of course, that convulted storyline in which Heigl's character, Izzie, sees dead people couldn't have helped matters. We say: Good riddance!
