David Del Rio, fired from "Matlock" over sexual assault allegations, reappears publicly with family amid ongoing legal uncertainty.

David Del Rio, fired from CBS’s “Matlock” in October amid sexual assault allegations from co-star Leah Lewis, has reappeared on social media via a family holiday photo posted by his wife, Katherine Del Rio. The image, shared on Instagram, shows the couple and their two daughters celebrating during a festive occasion, marking Del Rio’s first public appearance since his departure. The allegations, reported by Lewis on October 2 and tied to an incident on September 26, prompted CBS to remove Del Rio from the show following an internal review. While the LAPD confirmed no police report was filed matching the details, Del Rio has retained attorney Shawn Holley and is reportedly considering legal action. No public charges or findings have been made, and the series is set to resume in February 2026 with revised storylines.
