Access Hollywood Live interview
Short reveals that substance abuse was the reason for his exit from Scandal in an interview with Access Hollywood Live.
I’ll be candid: I was struggling with drugs. I had a lot on my plate, and you know, I was using unhealthy ways to kind of self-medicate and deal with a lot of heavy duty stuff in my life… I was doing cocaine and drinking a lot, and trying to balance a 16-hour work schedule a day, and a family, and I just lost myself back then.
