It's a sad day in Shondaland for gladiators, and an even sadder one for Columbus Short, who will not be returning to ABC's hit drama Scandal next season.
In a statement released today confirming his exit, the fallen gladiator thanked creator Shonda Rhimes, Kerry Washington, and the rest of the cast for their support and for his time spent on the show.
"At this time I must confirm my exit from a show I've called home for three years...I would like to thank Shonda Rhimes for the opportunity to work with such an amazing cast. Thank you GLADIATORS who have supported me throughout my entire career...unfortunately the time has come to an end 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."
The announcement comes on the heels of Short's most recent domestic dispute with wife Tanee Short, who recently filed for divorce and was also granted a temporary restraining order after their latest altercation.
For those who are fans of Shonda's work, you would know that she has ZERO tolerance for foolery, and doesn't hesitate to write ANYBODY off if the circumstances allow.
Best of luck to Columbus and his wife smh. This is a dang shame.
