Columbus Short is in the middle of some major drama—the kind not even Olivia Pope can help with. 

The former Scandal star found himself in some hot water with his girlfriend Karrine Steffans on Tuesday when she posted a photo on her Instagram account of the 33-year-old actor in which what appear to be his belongings are scattered across the floor.  

"Somebody come get @officialcshort cheating ass and all his s--t," she captioned the image. She continued to tag the Instagram accounts of several women she alleges Short had sex with.

 The Vixens author subsequently shared a video of his items strewn around the room and then zoomed in on a stoic Short sitting in a chair wearing a hooded sweatshirt.

"Nobody has anything to say," Steffans narrated in the background of the video. "Oh, hi Columbus. You okay? You feeling okay?" she continued sarcastically.

While Karrine may use the last name Short on her social media, she is not legally married to the star—as he is still technically married to his second wife, Tuere Tanee Short.

Tuere filed for divorce from her estranged husband in 2014 and was also granted a temporary restraining order against the actor. In court documents obtained by E! News, she claimed Short choked her and threatened to kill her while he appeared intoxicated. At the time, she requested full custody of their only child, daughter Ayala Short.

The actor later admitted to previous struggles with alcohol and cocaine abuse—the main reason behind his departure from Scandal before its fourth season.

"I was going through a lot, going through a lot in my marriage," he said during an interview with Access Hollywood Live. "I had a lot of loss, tragic loss, so it's tough."
