When Matthew Morrison was fired in the middle of his first season for judging So You Think You Can Dance in May, the actor felt that he did not take into account “competition production protocols, which prevented me from being able to judge the competition. in a fair way “. A new report is clearer about the situation, stating that Morrison sent an inappropriate message to a contestant on the show. A source told People that Morrison “had an inappropriate relationship with a female contestant,” which took place through “flirtatious direct messages on social media.” The source added that Fox was investigating Morrison after the contestant complained. “He felt uncomfortable with his line of comments and went to the producers,” the source said. (The source also clarified that Morrison and the contestant “were never found displaced”). Representatives of So You Think You Can Dance did not respond to a request for comment. The series recently premiered on May 18, and Morrison is likely to still appear in several episodes, given the show’s production schedule. Fox has not announced a substitute judge.
