Thomas Gibson fired from ‘Criminal Minds’
It’s since emerged that the altercation occurred two weeks ago but only came to light this week. He will meet with lawyers at Miller Barondess firm to discuss possible legal action against producers on the CBS procedural series following his contract termination.
According to Deadline, the actor was immediately suspended following the incident.
Gibson released his own statement in response, wherein the actor said that he has put his “heart and soul” into the series during the entirety of 12 seasons. “I hear it. I see it. I would just like to say thank you to the writers, producers, actors, our incredible crew, and most importantly, the best fans that a show could ever hope to have”, Gibson said, following his dismissal from the show Friday.
Gibson, who reportedly made $5,000,000 on the last season of Criminal Minds, was sacked from the show just two episodes into the new season over a disagreement, which allegedly turned physical, with a writer-producer. In a now-deleted clip, Moore seemed to take a jab at the fired actor, “Lot of birdies chirping out there; the gossip is real”. “I regret that it occurred”, Gibson said in a statement. Honest people. Hard-working people.
Thomas Gibson has barely finished packing his trailer up on the Criminal Minds set after his recent firing and former co-star Shemar Moore is already posting videos throwing extensive shade at the actor. People who believe in themselves.
What do you think will happen now to “Criminal Minds?”. “You don’t do this to people”.
Moore continues: “Celebrate yourself; celebrate your blessings – as you should”. People who believe in others. But just know that you’re not better than anybody. But then appreciate other people’s gifts. Season 12 is scheduled to premiere on Wednesday night, September 28th, 2016 at 8pm central time on CBS.
There’s a whole lot of buzz surrounding CBS’ crime drama “Criminal Minds”, as Thomas Gibson reportedly kicked a co-executive producer in the shin.
