Craig Gore, the writer of NBC’s Law & Order spinoff was fired after he reportedly threatened to “light up” violent protesters causing chaos in West Hollywood.
Gore apparently posed for a photo with a “large weapon” in a now-deleted Facebook post. Screenshots of the photo purportedly show Gore writing “curfew,” and adding, “Sunset is being looted two blocks from me. You think I won’t light motherfuckers up who are trying to fuck [with] my property I worked all my life for? Think again…” Gore’s post was shared on Twitter and reported by TheWrap and The Hollywood Reporter:
Law & Order creator Dick Wolf reacted to the Gore’s apparent post by firing him, saying “I will not tolerate this conduct, especially during our hour of national grief. I am terminating Craig Gore immediately.”
Chris Meloni, longtime Law & Order SVU star for whose character Gore was writing a new spinoff show, reacted to Gore’s firing in a tweet, “I have no idea who this person is or what they do.”
Rapper and actor ICE T — a longtime star of Law & Order SVU — chimed in on Gore’s firing, too, praising Dick Wolf for being a “Big Boss” and expressed “RESPECT” for his actions.
