Per <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tmz.com\/2025\/10\/09\/matlock-star-david-del-rio-allegations\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:TMZ;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \"><strong>TMZ<\/strong><\/a>, he was escorted off the lot last week, the same day the allegations were reported.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">After Del Rio&#8217;s exit made headlines yesterday, Lewis took to Instagram to share a photo of her with her mother, writing, &#8220;Mom is here, we&#8217;re moving forward in love and strength. I&#8217;m in good hands. Thank you to everybody for any kind of support and care. Truly, we&#8217;re moving forward in strength. Key word, strength. Please, let that be the take away.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Not long after Del Rio&#8217;s firing was made public, the actor&#8217;s wife, Katherine Del Rio, reportedly went to her own Instagram Story to share a closeup of Lewis&#8217; face, writing &#8220;This is the most disturbing human being I have ever met&#8221; &#8212; this according to screenshots taken by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/celebrity-news\/news\/david-del-rios-wife-katherine-slams-leah-lewis-amid-scandal\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Us Magazine;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \"><strong>Us Magazine<\/strong><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/2025\/10\/david-del-rio-fired-matlock-sexual-assault-billy-martinez-1236574763\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Deadline;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \"><strong>Deadline<\/strong><\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/pagesix.com\/2025\/10\/10\/celebrity-news\/david-del-rios-wife-blasts-actors-matlock-co-star-leah-lewis-amid-assault-allegations\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Page Six;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \"><strong>Page Six<\/strong><\/a> before the post was deleted.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Katherine also shared a photo of her with her own mother, before captioning the Story with the exact same statement Lewis shared to her feed, seemingly mocking the actress&#8217; post. That, too, was eventually deleted.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Currently, her Instagram Story feed only includes a photo of the couple&#8217;s daughter, Lilia, in a Snow White costume. The pair are also parents to daughter Coco, born in March.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">So far, Del Rio himself hasn&#8217;t commented on the allegations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Filming on the Kathy Bates-starring Matlock, which returns for a second season this Sunday, has resumed.<\/p>\n<p><a data-ylk=\"ct:story;elm:img;itc:0;\" class=\"stretched-box\" href=\"https:\/\/www.toofab.com\/2025\/03\/24\/david-del-rio-kathy-bates-spirit-tunnel-matlock\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"><img alt=\"TMZ\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"825\" height=\"611\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/ba3abf62338f523a229bb236c61cec7e.jpeg\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Matlock&#8217;s David Del Rio Defends Kathy Bates&#8217; Viral Jennifer Hudson Show Spirit Tunnel Moment (Exclusive) &#8211; Click image for related story<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"David Del Rio&#8217;s wife Katherine took to social media after her husband was fired from Matlock following a&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":292270,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[149713,148788,171,149712,149160,97882,345,67,132,68,149711],"class_list":{"0":"post-292269","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-entertainment","8":"tag-allegation-of-sexual-assault","9":"tag-david-del-rio","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-katherine-del-rio","12":"tag-leah-lewis","13":"tag-matlock","14":"tag-social-media","15":"tag-united-states","16":"tag-unitedstates","17":"tag-us","18":"tag-wife-katherine"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115350602377784935","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/292269","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=292269"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/292269\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/292270"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=292269"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=292269"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=292269"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
