Thomas Gibson has hired attorneys following his firing from “Criminal Minds.”
Entertainment lawyers Skip Miller and Sasha Frid signed on to represent Gibson, 54, The Hollywood Reporter confirmed on Saturday, though it’s unclear what, if any, claims Gibson would seek against CBS or ABC Studios.
Gibson isn’t the only “Criminal Minds” star with strong feelings about his firing, which was announced Friday after he was suspended for two weeks after kicking writer and co-executive producer Virgil Williams.
Shemar Moore, with whom Gibson had a contentious relationship on set, posted a since-deleted Instagram video with the caption “karma is real” late Friday.
“Lot of birdies chirping out there. The gossip is real. I hear it. I see it. I’ll just say this: I believe in karma,” he said in the clip. “Good things happen to good people, honest people, hard-working people, humble people … Treat people how you expect them to treat you … But just know that you’re not better than anybody. We all have our own gifts, so unwrap them bad boys and show ‘em off. But then appreciate other people’s gifts. Church is over.”
An internal investigation from ABC Studios and CBS is ongoing, with show staff and cast reportedly siding with Williams in the dispute.
