昨天已有消息指《犯罪心理 Criminal Minds》元老Thomas Gibson因为踢了某人（有消息指是编剧兼执行制片Virgil Williams）而被取消一至两集戏份，并指是因为他们之间有创意分歧。然而事情在北京凌晨时急转直下，剧组官方宣布Thomas Gibson被正式开除，以及会开始研究如何解释角色的消失。

而被开除的Thomas Gibson则发表了以下的声明：

“I love Criminal Minds and have put my heart and soul into it for the last twelve 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.”
