Dushku added, “There may have been an incident in TJ one weekend, but we got ourselves out of it. … I am quite a negotiator. I would admit there was an incident, but we got out in that turquoise convertible VW beetle and were back for work on time.” A warrant was soon issued for Penn, which was especially bad news for the actor, because he was already on probation. Haddish was released from the Fayette County Jail later that day after posting $1,666 bond. He was released after posting $8,500 bond, and months later, pleaded guilty. He was sentenced to 30 days in a rehabilitation center, 30 days of probation, and 36 hours of anger management. This was the last straw for Fox and the Ally McBeal production team. They fired Downey Jr., and made a fast-press effort to complete the season without him. This included rewriting the final episodes without Downey Jr.’s character, and reshooting some scenes already in the can which featured the actor. Not long after the video was released, prosecutors in Shreveport agreed to drop all charges.
