Shemar Moore is expressing his feelings over the ongoing cast shakeup on "Criminal Minds." Following Thomas Gibson's dismissal from the series, Moore talked about the effects of karma in people's lives in a video he posted (and has since been deleted) on Instagram.
The controversy surrounding now former "Criminal Minds" actor Thomas Gibson has developed another interesting layer. According to Deadline, original cast member Shemar Moore has released a video which seemed to give reference to Gibson's firing. Although Moore later deleted the video, a fan was able to save and shared it on Twitter.
"Lot of birdies chirping out there; the gossip is real," Moore said..
"I'll just say this: I believe in karma. Good things happen to good people, honest people, hard-working people, humble people, people who believe in basic goodness."

Gibson, for his part, is currently looking to file a lawsuit against the producers of "Criminal Minds." According to The Hollywood Reporter, he hired two Los Angeles-based litigators to discuss his current case. On Friday, he has been permanently fired from the series, following an altercation with one of the show's series writer/producer.
"I love Criminal Minds and have put my heart and soul into it for the last 12 years," Gibson said on a statement.
"I had hoped to see it through to the end, but that won't be possible now. I would just like to say thank you to the writers, producers, actors, our amazing crew, and, most importantly, the best fans that a show could ever hope to have."
Gibson and Moore have been co-stars on "Criminal Minds" for over 10 years. Now on its twelfth year, remaining cast members AJ Cook, Joe Mantegna, Kirsten Vangsness and Matthew Gray Gubler are expected to make the necessary adjustments to recover from Gibson's sudden exit. The series hails from executive producer Erica Messer.
Criminal Minds Season 12 premieres on Wednesday, Sept. 28 on CBS.
