Yesterday we told you that Thomas Gibson was suspended. Now the Studio has fired the 'Criminal Minds' Actor After On-Set Altercation.
ABC Studios and CBS Television Studios said Friday Gibson was dismissed from the series after the actor allegedly kicked a producer. Gibson, 54, expressed regret Thursday for the incident.
A source confirmed to Page Six that two weeks ago, Gibson, 54, got into a physical fight during filming with co-executive producer Virgil Williams, but insists the fight wasn’t as big of a deal as headlines made it seem.
“It wasn’t like [Gibson] punched him,” the source said. “Williams is a boxer and a martial artist, he’s no angel. He can be very aggressive.”
Williams allegedly instigated the incident, which stemmed from a disagreement over a script. “[Williams] got very aggressive, so Thomas walked away and then he felt like the guy was coming after him. He turned around and kicked just on instinct, like a reflex,” the source added.
