“Criminal Minds” star Thomas Gibson was fired from the show last week after getting into an argument with one of the writers of the show. Now, he has sought the help of a lawyer regarding the firing while his co-star, Shemar Moore, took to Twitter to say something about karma making fans believe that the post is directed to Gibson.
Gibson hired Miller Barondess law firm to evaluate if he could file a lawsuit against the “Criminal Minds” heads over his firing. The 54-year-old actor starred on “Criminal Minds” since 2005 as Special Agent Aaron Hotchner.
According to reports, Gibson was fired from “Criminal Minds” for being physical with a writer during a confrontation. Reports say that Gibson was acting and directed a scene for “Criminal Minds” when he got into an argument with the writer, New York Daily News reported. Accordingly, the argument was initially just verbal but eventually turned physical when Gibson kicked the writer in the leg. Gibson was suspended for two weeks but eventually was let go.
CBS Television Studios and ABC Studios said in a statement confirming that Gibson has been dismissed from “Criminal Minds” and the creative details about the exit of his characters from the show will be announced later.
E! News also reported that after his firing, Gibson released a statement saying that he loves “Criminal Minds” and has put his heart and soul into it for the last twelve years. He shared that he hopes to be part of “Criminal Minds” through the end but it will no longer be possible due to his termination. He thanked the writers, producers, actors, “amazing crew,” and the fans in his statement.
As for Moore’s supposed shading against Gibson, he took to Instagram to say: “I believe in karma. Good things happen to good people.” He also wrote in his post that good things happen to honest people, humble people, and people who know “basic goodness.” He added that no one is better than anybody. The post has since been deleted but many believe that it is directed to Gibson.
