Hollywood is buzzing with some serious drama surrounding actor David Del Rio, who just got fired from CBS’s upcoming ‘Matlock’ reboot. The situation escalated quickly after co-star Leah Lewis accused him of sexual assault, leading to his immediate removal from the show last month. Now Del Rio is fighting back by hiring celebrity attorney Shawn Holley – the same legal powerhouse who represents A-listers like Kim Kardashian, Justin Bieber, and Lindsay Lohan. Talk about bringing in the big guns!
This legal move comes amid conflicting reports about the assault allegations. While CBS confirmed they’re writing Del Rio’s character out of the show, the LAPD has stated there’s no record of an assault report matching Lewis’ claims. It’s creating that classic Hollywood ‘he said, she said’ scenario that always leaves fans wondering where the truth really lies. The situation is messy enough to make any reality TV show look tame by comparison!
Both parties aren’t staying quiet about the situation either. Leah Lewis recently shared on social media about moving forward ‘in strength’ amid the controversy. Meanwhile, Del Rio’s wife, actress Courtney Hope, went nuclear on Lewis, calling her ‘the most disturbing human being I have ever met’ in a since-deleted Instagram post. When the spouses start weighing in, you know the drama has reached DEFCON levels in Tinseltown.
This situation reminds us that even in the glitzy world of entertainment, serious allegations deserve serious attention – and everyone deserves due process.
