Columbus Short not returning to ‘Scandal’
Bye, Harrison! Columbus Short is leaving ABC’s hit drama “Scandal” after just two years on the show. UsMagazine.com reports that his character Harrison Wright will not be featured on season 4.
“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,” Columbus said in statement, thanking show creator Shonda Rhimes and her production company along with ABC and “Scandal” fans everywhere. “I have enjoyed every single minute of it.”
Columbus’ exit comes amid his mounting legal troubles, stemming from his felony battery charges for a bar fight. He’d also been charged with misdemeanor spousal battery after a reported domestic incident on Valentine’s Day with his estranged wife Tuere Short. TMZ.com reports that ABC wanted to fire him because of his recent arrests, but no one from the network has confirmed those rumors. Columbus didn’t address those speculations in his statement.
“Everything must come to an end and unfortunately the time has come for Harrison Wright to exit the canvas,” Columbus said before bidding his cast mates a fond farewell. “I wish nothing but the best for Shonda, Kerry [Washington] 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.”
