David Del Rio’s wife criticizes ‘Matlock’ co-star Leah Lewis following allegations of sexual assault.

Katherine Del Rio, spouse of actor David Del Rio, has publicly expressed her disdain towards Leah Lewis, David’s co-star on the television series “Matlock.” This outburst follows David Del Rio’s recent termination from the show amid sexual assault allegations.

On Thursday, Katherine Del Rio shared her grievances through Instagram Stories, posting a photo of Leah Lewis alongside a message that has drawn considerable attention. Sources confirmed on the same day that David Del Rio had been dismissed from the cast of “Matlock” after an investigation concerning accusations of an assault allegedly occurring in a trailer on Paramount property late last month.

Del Rio’s departure from “Matlock” became a topic of widespread media discussion, particularly after CBS Studios received a report regarding the alleged incident on October 2. Following an internal review, David Del Rio was reportedly escorted off the Paramount lot on the same day.

Meanwhile, Leah Lewis addressed the situation on social media, conveying a message of resilience and support from her family during this tumultuous period. She emphasized her strength and gratitude towards those who have offered care and encouragement.

In a pointed response, Katherine Del Rio reacted to Lewis’s post by sharing a photo of herself with her own mother, captioning it in a manner that implies a critique of Lewis’s public stance. This exchange reflects the heightened emotions and tensions surrounding the situation, as both women navigate the ramifications of the allegations.

The alleged incident took place on September 26, sparking a media frenzy and intense scrutiny of the show’s production. David Del Rio played the role of Billy Martinez in the reboot of the classic 1980s legal drama, and while the first half of the second season had already been filmed before the accusations surfaced, reports indicate that Del Rio’s character will be omitted from future episodes.

“Matlock” features a notable ensemble cast that includes Kathy Bates, Jason Ritter, and Skype P. Marshall. To date, other cast members have remained silent in light of the recent developments pertaining to David Del Rio.

As the anticipation for the season 2 premiere remains intact, the recent controversies surrounding the show raise significant questions about the impact of personal conduct on professional trajectories within the entertainment industry. The case emphasizes ongoing discussions regarding accountability and support in cases of alleged misconduct.

Season 2 of “Matlock” is expected to premiere on Sunday, amidst this backdrop of drama and scrutiny. Media News Source will continue to follow the story as it unfolds, monitoring both the public reactions and the broader implications for those involved.
