Jason Alexander's unsettling crimes did not go unpunished by the New York courts, but they did go relatively unnoticed by "Law & Order" fans. However, in 2020, TV writer Craig Gore shared content on Facebook that alluded to violence against looters and protesters in Los Angeles (per Variety). These posts came in light of the Black Lives Matter protests that arose after the death of George Floyd. His comments instantly made their way to the main stage, as social and political tensions were high.
In the menacing post, Gore, who was to work on "Law & Order: Organized Crime," shared photos of himself holding an automatic weapon, which he captioned "Curfew..." In the comments, he continued on his rant: "You think I won't light motherf***ers up who are trying to f*** with my property I worked all my life for? Think again..." (via The Mirror). Once loyal watchers of the crime drama got wind of Gore's behavior, they immediately called for action. One tweet directed towards series' star Christopher Meloni read: "Ayy @Chris_Meloni your new showrunner is a proud boy" (per Deadline).
In response to this, franchise creator and producer Dick Wolf acted swiftly. "I will not tolerate this conduct, especially during our hour of national grief," Wolf told Variety. "I am terminating Craig Gore immediately." Gore was also slated to step up as co-executive producer on the new spin-off. In addition to his firing from the series, Paradigm Talent Agency also severed all ties with the network writer.
