According to TMZ, the actor had a creative dispute with a writer a few weeks ago and allegedly kicked the writer in the leg during the spat.
Thomas has been banned from the show for two weeks. Despite being one of the show’s OG cast members, Gibson was suspended from the procedural hit for an unknown length of time. The disagreement spiraled out of control and Thomas “exploded in anger”. Thomas claims he got physical “in retaliation” after the writer became “aggressive”.
Aaron Hotchner may be taking a quick break from “Criminal Minds”.
In addition to his acting suspension, a planned directing stint he was to have on the show has also been nixed and his future on the show is being put under review. “I regret that it occurred”, Gibson told TMZ.
