It’s official, Columbus Short, who plays Harrison the quick talking Gladiator that didn’t have much of a storyline anyway, has been fired from Scandal after 3 seasons. He was given the axe following a string of issues he was having in his personal life, including allegations that he beat his wife, threatened to kill her and beat a man in a bar fight. Shonda Rhimes clearly doesn’t have time for your shit, Harrison.
“At this time I must confirm my exit from a show I’ve called home for 3 years, with what is the most talented ensemble on television today,” Short said in a statement he released earlier today, “I would like to first thank Shonda Rhimes for the opportunity to work with such an amazing cast. Thank you GLADIATORS, who have supported me throughout my entire career and of course to ABC and Shondaland for allowing me to play such a pivotal role in the Scandal series. I have enjoyed every single minute of it. Everything must come to an end and unfortunately the time has come for Harrison Wright to exit the canvas. I wish nothing but the best for Shonda, Kerry and the rest of the cast, who have become like a second family to me in such a short amount of time. For this, I will forever be grateful.”
Bye Ashy! Keep your hands and your knives to yourself next time.
