Katherine del Rio Mocks Leah Lewis After Firing

David del Rio was fired from CBS’s Matlock after a Sept. 26 incident involving co-star Leah Lewis; an internal probe led to his same-day removal from the lot. In the aftermath, his wife, actress Katherine del Rio, posted — then deleted — Instagram Stories mocking Lewis, including a zoomed photo calling her “the most disturbing human being I have ever met” and a mother-daughter post echoing Lewis’s own message of gratitude and strength. Lewis had earlier thanked supporters alongside her mother. On the series, Lewis and del Rio play first-year associates. Deadline has sought comment from Katherine del Rio.
