Though not arrested, Thornton was questioned by authorities upon landing in LAX. His attorney insists he was trying to access a suicide prevention forum and accidentally entered a chatroom for people with pedophilic thoughts — a claim he’s been advocating as part of his personal suicide prevention work. The controversy led to his suspension before the official termination, ending a 13-year run on the iconic game show.
