Actor David Del Rio’s “Matlock” tenure has come to an end after an investigation into an alleged sexual assault.
Del Rio, who portrayed young attorney Billy Martinez in the Kathy Bates-led CBS reboot, was fired from the series, The Times has confirmed. CBS Studios declined to comment.
The actor’s exit from the series follows an investigation into an alleged sexual assault incident that also involved a woman in the show’s cast, according to Deadline, which first reported Del Rio’s firing. Del Rio was a series regular and his character will be written out of future episodes. “Matlock” returns for its second season on Sunday, but has a prescheduled break in October and November after the first half of the season.
A representative for Del Rio did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
In the wake of the firing news, Del Rio’s “Matlock” co-star Leah Lewis wrote in a since-deleted Instagram story that she is finding comfort in family. She was the other “Matlock” cast member involved in the alleged incident that led to Del Rio’s firing, Deadline reported.
“Mom is here, we’re moving forward in love and strength. I’m in good hands,” Lewis writes over a picture of herself embracing her mom, according to screenshots of the post. “Thank you to everybody for any kind of support and care. Truly, we’re moving forward in strength.”
Lewis’ post did not mention Del Rio, CBS or “Matlock.” She added: “Key word, strength. Please let that be the take away.”
Though Del Rio has not yet publicly commented on his firing, his wife, Katherine Del Rio, addressed the controversy in a pair of since-deleted Instagram stories shared Thursday. Del Rio posted a close-up photo of Lewis to her story, writing “this is the most disturbing human being I have ever met,” according to a screenshot captured by Us Weekly.
In another post, she seemingly mimicked Lewis’ post. Del Rio shared a photo of herself with an older woman and captioned the photo with some familiar language. “Mom is here. We are moving forward in love and strength after what Leah did to your family,” she said, according to a screenshot shared by Deadline. “Thank you all for the love and support!”
A representative for Lewis did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
