David Del Rio, the actor who was recently fired from CBS’ “Matlock” following allegations of sexual assault made by his co-star Leah Lewis, has now hired top Hollywood attorney Shawn Holley to represent him. Holley, known for representing high-profile clients such as Kim Kardashian, Justin Bieber, and Lindsay Lohan, has been brought on board by Del Rio as he deals with the aftermath of the accusations that led to his dismissal from the popular TV show.
The controversy began when Lewis filed a complaint with CBS on October 2, accusing Del Rio of sexually assaulting her on September 26. Following an investigation, Del Rio was promptly removed from the show and ultimately fired by CBS Studios. His character, a lead role in the series, will be written off as a result of the allegations.
Despite the serious nature of the accusations, the LAPD has stated that there is no record of an assault report matching the date or location of Lewis’ claim. In response to the news, Lewis took to social media to thank her fans for their support and reassured them that she is moving forward with strength and love, with the support of her family.
Meanwhile, Del Rio’s wife, Katherine Del Rio, has publicly criticized Lewis, calling her “the most disturbing human being I have ever met.” The situation has undoubtedly caused tension and controversy within the entertainment industry, with both sides receiving support and backlash from fans and the public.
As the legal battle unfolds, both Holley and Del Rio have refrained from making any public statements regarding the matter. CBS, on the other hand, has declined to comment on the situation, leaving the future of Del Rio’s career and reputation uncertain.
It remains to be seen how the case will progress and what impact it will have on the individuals involved. As the story continues to develop, the entertainment industry is once again faced with the complexities and challenges of addressing allegations of misconduct and navigating the legal system in pursuit of justice.
