So You Think You Can Dance’s Matthew Morrison is no longer associated with the Fox reality show after being fired for his inappropriate behavior towards a female contestant.
According to a source close to the series, Morrison was let go after “he had an inappropriate relationship with a female contestant.”
The source said, “They didn’t have sex, but he reached out to her through flirty direct messages on social media.”
The unidentified female contestant was said to have felt uncomfortable with the messages Morrison sent her and reported the situation to the show’s producers.
They then conducted their own investigation, which led to Fox getting involved and ultimately led to Morrison’s termination.
The source adds that the interactions between Morrison and the contestant never extended beyond the digital realm.
“It was just messages that crossed the line,” the source stated.
