Wheel of Fortune’s Jim Thornton Fired Over Website Mix-Up | Entertainment and Celebrity News

Wheel of Fortune voice Jim Thornton was fired after being caught on a flight visiting Lifeline.chat, a site for people struggling with pedophilic thoughts — though organizers say it’s strictly for support and bans illegal content. Thornton’s lawyer claims it was a mix-up, mistaking the site for 988lifeline.org, and says he left immediately. Sony confirmed his exit; the show has moved forward with Ryan Seacrest and Vanna White taking over, and all references to Thornton have been removed from social media.
