Morrison's statement acknowledged he did not follow protocols and would not be able to "judge the competition fairly," but did not go into detail about his misstep. According to what a source told Mga tao, his departure allegedly had to do with messages he sent to a contestant.

A source claimed to Mga tao that the Glee star was let go "after he had an inappropriate relationship with a female contestant."

According to the source, "They didn't have sex, but he reached out to her through flirty direct messages on social media. She felt uncomfortable with his line of comments and went to producers, who then got Fox involved. He was fired after they did their own investigation."

The source added that Morrison and the contestant "never met up off-set" and that the sum total of their relationship "was just messages that crossed the line."

Ayon kayEntertainment Weekly, since the episodes early in the season are pre-taped, Morrison will still appear on the show through mid-June. The publication reports that a new judge will be brought on to replace Morrison for the next part of the competition, which begins airing June 15. No word yet on who will be taking his chair on the panel.
