Why Columbus Short Was Really Fired From Scandal (& Where He Is Now)
Columbus Short's real-world behavioral issues, including substance abuse, led to his character's exit from Scandal. Short's off-set issues caused weaker storylines for his character, Harrison Wright, on Scandal. Since leaving Scandal, Columbus Short has continued to act in various roles and expressed interest in returning to a Shondaverse show.
Fans of Scandal were probably confused when Harrison Wright was suddenly off the show, but Columbus Short has since come out about the real reason he exited the series. The hit political thriller Scandal lasted for seven seasons before its series finale on April 19, 2018, which closed the book on Olivia Pope's (Kerry Washington) career as a DC political operative and fixer. By the end of the show, some characters on Scandal had received their fitting ends while others may have got the short end of the stick.
