Stephen Collins Dropped From 'Scandal' After Child Molestation Investigations Revealed

Stephen Collins, best known for playing Rev. Camden on 7th Heaven, will not be returning to Scandal.

Stephen Collins Cut From 'Scandal'

Collins was set to reprise his role as Reed Wallace on an upcoming episode of Scandal. However, after an audio recording leaked of him admitting to molesting three young girls, he will no longer appear on the hit Shonda Rhimes' show.

“We can confirm that we will not be airing any footage with Stephen Collins,” ABC told Entertainment Weekly.

Since the story broke about Collins' alleged history of abusing underage girls, he’s also been dropped from Seth MacFarlane’s Ted 2. Furthermore, networks have announced that they will cease airing reruns of 7th Heaven.

On Tuesday evening, after the audio recording hit the Internet, there were reports that Collins may have attempted suicide in his Tarzana, Calif., home. "That guy from 7th Heaven lives right around the corner from me & just shot himself a few minutes ago,” former Baywatch star Donna D’Errico wrote before deleting the tweet, reported USA Today. LAPD later revealed that it was a false alarm, but Collins' family apparently worries that the actor actually is suffering from suicidal thoughts.

"His family by no means condone what he's said to have done, but it doesn't stop them worrying about him," an insider told the Daily Mail. "They fear he could take his own life. That's how low he is right now. No one wants to leave him by himself."

In the now infamous audio, secretly recorded during a therapy session with his wife Faye Grant, Collins allegedly admits to inappropriate and illicit sexual misconduct with three young girls, including exposing himself and placing one of the girl's hands on his penis.
