Thomas Gibson is Threatening to Sue Over Getting Fired From ‘Criminal Minds

Date:

Thomas Gibson is considering a lawsuit over getting fired from Criminal Minds. 

After appearing in 225 episodes, all it takes is one on-set altercation and kicking the show’s writer to find yourself out of a job. At least that’s what happened to Thomas Gibson was fired from Criminal Minds last week. Initially, Gibson was only suspended from the show. However, on Friday it was made official that Criminal Minds had fired their FBI special agent Aaron Hotchner.

Now, according to The Hollywood Reporter, new evidence is emerging and Gibson has hired a legal team to look into a possible wrongful termination lawsuit. Two weeks ago, after an argument between Gibson and the show’s writer-producer, Virgil Williams, escalated and Gibson kicked Williams in the leg, which is what led to his suspension, then his pink slip.

There are claims floating around with some insinuating that Gibson was only defending himself from the boxing-trained Williams while others claim that Williams is a rather “non-aggressive presence on the set” and even walks around in a bow tie.

It is important to point out that this is not Gibson sparked controversy. In 2010 he was forced to attend anger management after an incident on-location where he shoved a member of the crew, as well as several other rumored incidents involving verbal abuse of the cast and crew.
