Columbus Short

Project: Scandal

Columbus Short shortened his stay in the highest-rating series Scandal after he was involved in a lawsuit claimed by his own wife. His second wife Tanee McCall got a restraining order claiming that Short acted horribly towards her. Just like his first marriage, he ended up hiring a lawyer to split from McCall. The estranged couple has a daughter named Ayala.

Short released a statement after the real-life scandal and confirmed his exit from the Shonda Rhimes TV series. He attributed his firing to his lawsuit with his former wife, as well as other personal struggles he was facing at the time. He played the role of Harrison Wright for three years. After being fired from the show in 2014, he went on to act for several films, including The Girl Is in Trouble and True to the Game. In 2016, Short took another risk for love and married a girl named Aida Abramyan-Short.
