"  E! News reports that Columbus Short will not be returning to\u00A0Scandal\u00A0for season four. The actor, who plays Harrison Wright, made the following statement via his publicist: &amp;quot;At this time I must confirm my exit from a show I&amp;#039;ve called home for three years, with what is the most talented ensemble on television today. I would like to first thank 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.&amp;quot; Earlier this year, Short was arrested and charged with felony battery after an alleged fight with his wife. TMZ also reported that he later threatened to kill himself and his wife after accusing her of cheating.
