Actor Matthew Morrison has exited “So You Think You Can Dance” after only a few months with the popular show. The Tony-nominated performer joined the popular show for Season 17 — which is currently airing on Fox — but has just announced his departure.
“Having the opportunity to be a judge on “So You Think You Can Dance” was an incredible honor for me,” Morrison said in a statement to PEOPLE. “Therefore, it is my deepest regret to inform you that I will be leaving the show.” He further added, “After filming the audition rounds for the show and completing the selection of the 12 finalists, I did not follow competition production protocols, preventing me from being able to judge the competition fairly.”
At this time, there have been few details shared about the nature of Morrison’s infraction; however, a source revealed to Us Weekly that it was not a major incident. Internet sleuths have also begun to speculate about what could have caused the sudden exit and their theories are wild. “His statement (compromised ability to judge it fairly) makes it seem like he was in contact with a contestant outside the show,” one person tweeted. While another wrote, “So he didn’t get vaccinated?”
