“Criminal Minds” star Thomas Gibson has taken to Twitter to address his exit from the long-running CBS series. Gibson was fired from “Criminal Minds” on Aug. 12 after the actor allegedly kicked a producer during an altercation on set. He had previously been suspended while producer ABC Studios conducted an internal review into the incident.
Gibson joined Twitter on Tuesday to discuss his dismissal from the show, on which he had starred since its premiere in 2005. In his first tweet, Gibson wrote, “I wish I could thank each of you for your friendship and support. I love ‘Criminal Minds,’ and I’m disappointed by what’s happened.” The actor said that he joined the social media service to “stay connected” and “talk directly” with his fans, posting a series of messages on Tuesday afternoon.
