Grant says he ditched friends after how they faced his wife's death
British actor Richard E. Grant says in a Times interview that he 'edited' friends out of his life after they avoided him following his wife Joan Washington’s death in 2021. He describes himself as clear-cut about forgiveness, stating he won’t see those people again, and says he still writes to Washington every night and hasn’t felt interest in companionship since her passing. Grant previously cut off a 29-year friend after an email containing toxic remarks about him surfaced, and his daughter questioned whether that friendship was ever genuine. Washington died at 74 in 2021 after a 35-year marriage; they have a daughter, Olivia, 37.
