Columbus Short will not reprise his role as Harrison Wright on the hit ABC show, Scandal, next season.

The actor confirmed the news via a statement to US Weekly,

"At this time I must confirm my exit from a show I’ve called home for 3 years, with what is the most talented ensemble on television today. I would like to first thank [creator] Shonda Rhimes for the opportunity to work with such an amazing cast. Thank you GLADIATORS, who have supported me throughout my entire career and of course to ABC and Shondaland for allowing me to play such a pivotal role in the Scandal series."

"I have enjoyed every single minute of it. Everything must come to an end and unfortunately the time has come for Harrison Wright to exit the canvas. I wish nothing but the best for Shonda, Kerry and the rest of the cast, who have become like a second family to me in such a short amount of time. For this, I will forever be grateful.”
 
 
Just this month, Short's wife, Tanee McCall, was granted a restraining against the actor after he allegedly placed a knife to her neck and threatened to kill her and himself. In March, Columbus was arrested on a felony battery charge following a bar brawl where he severely injured a man.
