Is Columbus Short trying to turn over a new leaf?
The choreographer/actor, who was kicked off of Scandal thanks to his issues with drug abuse and domestic violence, partnered with women’s shelter Elizabeth House to hand out some Christmas gifts and make women who’ve experienced domestic abuse feel more special.

Short went all throughout Los Angeles and collected more than 300 gifts for the toy drive at Sayers Club. He made the rounds at four homes by setting up trees and delivering the presents. He even gave $2,000 of his own bread to help make everyone’s holiday even more merry.

TMZ captured what went down. Columbus Short is no stranger to domestic abuse. His ex-wife was charged in 2014 with battery after she beat up a lady friend of his, and both his ex-wives have accused him of physical violence.
The actor seems to be starting 2017 fresh, though, with a new fiancée and baby on the way.
