I think it has more to do with the way it was affecting the rest of the cast. The tension on set was reportedly very high and most of the other cast members didn't like him as a person. And the whole situation was causing the guy who plays George to consider not coming back. George is a much more well-loved character so I think that had more to do with it. They knew one of them wouldn't come back, so they had to decide who would be the better person to remain - and that wasn't Washington.
My opinion - woo hoo! I didn't like his character anyway.
