CBS’ Criminal Minds seems to be front and center these days. First, we hear about Thomas Gibson, who played Aaron Hotchner, being suspended then later fired, from the show after he physically assaulted writer-producer, Virgil Williams. It was reported that Gibson kicked Williams in the shins over a disagreement about the show’s creative direction. We then heard about the guest star, Keith Tisdell, who stole $60Gs from Shemar Moore, the actor who played FBI agent, Derek Morgan for 11 seasons.
The 46-year-old former star of CBS’ Criminal Minds, could not help himself and weigh in on the drama surrounding the highly publicized firing of Thomas Gibson. He doesn’t specify who he is talking about, but it doesn’t take much to connect the dots between his views of karma, gossip, and compassion, that he shared in a now deleted Instagram video.
“Lot of birdies chirping out there. The gossip is real. I hear it. I see it,” Moore says in the video, which a Twitter user saved before the actor removed it. “I’ll just say this: I believe in karma. Good things happen to good people, honest people, hard-working people, humble people… Good things will happen to you… Treat people how you expect them to treat you. Celebrate yourself; celebrate your blessings — as you should. 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.”

As fans, we cannot help but wonder if there was some serious tension between these two stars. When Shemar Moore posted the video, he had to know people were going to see the serious shade he was putting on Thomas Gibson; really makes you wonder how they managed to work together the past 11 seasons?!
Thomas Gibson issued a statement as well, “I love Criminal Minds and have put my heart and soul into it for the last 12 years. I had hoped to see it through to the end, but that won’t be possible now. I would just like to say thank you to the writers, producers, actors, our amazing crew, and most importantly, the best fans that a show could ever hope to have.” His statement seems to be a contradiction to his actions, and we all know that “actions speak much louder than words.”
Meanwhile, Thomas Gibson has hired Los Angeles-based litigators Skip Miller and Sasha Frid to see if it would be in his interest to sue.
