A Controversial Character
Owen Hunt, portrayed by Kevin McKidd, has been a polarizing figure on "Grey's Anatomy" since his introduction in Season 5. While the show has seen its fair share of beloved and despised characters, Owen has managed to secure a spot as one of the most contentious figures in the series. So, what exactly has earned him this reputation?
A Troubled Introduction
Owen's backstory as a trauma surgeon with severe PTSD set the stage for a character fraught with internal and external conflicts.
His initial relationship with Cristina Yang (Sandra Oh) was marred by his refusal to seek help for his PTSD, leading to violent outbursts that included a chilling incident where he nearly strangled Cristina in his sleep. This refusal to address his issues painted him as both dangerous and irresponsible.
Toxic Relationships
One of the main reasons for the widespread disdain towards Owen is his tumultuous romantic relationships.
His marriage to Cristina was fraught with conflict, particularly over their opposing views on having children. When Cristina chose to terminate her pregnancy, Owen's reaction was harsh and unforgiving, culminating in a public outburst where he accused her of killing their child.
