"Criminal Minds" writer Virgil Williams, who was recently involved in a physical altercation with the show's former star Thomas Gibson, has broken his silence over the matter, saying it stemmed from a professional disagreement.
The argument between the two resulted in Gibson's departure from the hit CBS drama in August.
In an interview, Williams told People magazine, "He came to me with a line change that he wanted. Because of this particular episode, the change that he wanted hurt the story.
"I offered him a fix. He didn't accept the fix. He said, 'Fix it so I'm happy' and then walked off."
Williams also revealed that he himself was once suspended from set for raising his voice and he believes Gibson created a "hostile work environment."
Though the writer does not foresee working with Gibson in the future, he wishes him the best.
"I pray for him. I hope that he's getting time with his family. I hope the best for the guy," he said.
