Scandalous

I never really got into the Criminal Minds thing - it's too dark and too violent.  But I do know Thomas Gibson because he used to be on Chicago Hope, so to say I've been fascinated by the story of his firing last week, is an understatement.  I sort of hate myself for being riveted by such a scandalous story, but oh well, here I am.  As the story goes, he was first suspended then fired for allegedly kicking a writer on set.

What first got my attention is the kick itself.  Whose first instinct is to kick?  Don't most men punch first?  Now, I'm more focused on the aftermath.  His former costar Shemar Moore is saying his firing is "karma."  What the heck does that mean?  We need more information people!  And lastly, Thomas Gibson has now lawyered up.  How exactly does he see that going?  "Sure, I kicked you, but you shouldn't have fired me for it. I'm famous."  The way Hollywood goes, that'll probably work.

It's all so strange! And yet I'm reading about the darn story at least once a day since it happened... Maybe I'll stick to books from now on - All the drama, none of the scandal.
