There is always something with Criminal Minds and this season is about Thomas Gibson reportedly being suspended from the procedural. According to TMZ, the actor was directing a scene he was in when he got into a confrontation with a writer. The argument got so heated that Gibson allegedly kicked the writer in the leg. It is then reported the TV scribe didn’t let it die down, went to his agent who in turn went to CBS and the actor was suspended. The said incident happened about two weeks ago and Gibson has been absent since then.
Gibson told TMZ, “There were creative differences on the set and a disagreement. I regret that it occurred. We all want to work together as a team to make the best show possible. We always have and always will.”
Hopefully, they will make up soon because without Shemar Moore, who left the show last season, they really need Gibson.
BTW CBS got lucky that this story broke early this morning because yesterday was their TCA Summer Press Tour Day and they would’ve had to have answered that question in person as compared to over the phone or email.
