Thomas Gibson: Fired from Criminal Minds!

Thomas Gibson will not be returning to Criminal Minds after his suspension.

Yesterday, it was announced Gibson was suspended following reports that he kicked a writer.

This all came after some sort of disagreement, but there were also reports this was not the first time Gibson had been difficult to work with.

In a statement, ABC Studios and CBS Television Studios — which co-produce the CBS procedural — said, “Thomas Gibson has been dismissed from Criminal Minds. Creative details for how the character’s exit will be addressed in the show will be announced at a later date.”

He was allegedly forced to attend anger management classes after shoving an assistant director a few years back.

It's currently unclear just how many episodes Gibson will appear in of Criminal Minds Season 12.

There's a huge possibility that none of his scenes will air at all and he will be written off the show off-screen.

His departure will no doubt be met with criticism from fans who have watched the show since the beginning.

Losing a lead characters is a testing time for any TV series, but we're confident Criminal Minds will remain to be a great drama for years to come.

Shemar Moore departed recently as Derek Morgan and fans were not impressed with his departure.

At least fans of Derek actually got an on-screen exit.

That won't be happening for Aaron Hotchner.

One character who left is also on tap for a return visit.

That's right, Criminal Minds fanatics, Paget Brewster will be returning for multiple episodes of Season 12.
