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.
‘They did the right thing’
Short reacts to being let go from Scandal:
They did not throw me to the curb like trash — that’s my family. They knew that I was going through a tough season and rallied around me and wrapped their arms around me, from Shonda to the craft service man. We’re a family.
Columbus Short interview
Short is interviewed by Hall on The Arsenio Hall Show. They talk about his two year old bilingual daughter.
My son is not bilingual, my daughter we decided that when we have our daughter we want her to be bilingual, it’s weird now though because she literally speaks Spanish more than she does English.
