David Del Rio Speaks Again with CBS Studios About Allegations Surrounding His Departure from ‘Matlock’
Former ‘Matlock’ Star David Del Rio Questioned in Sexual Assault Case
David Del Rio, formerly a regular on the series Matlock, has once again been questioned about the alleged sexual assault incident that led to his dismissal from the show. The questioning follows Del Rio’s hiring of a new attorney, Shawn Holley, after his termination in October.
Sources indicate that Del Rio, accompanied by Holley, was reinterviewed by Matlock producer CBS Studios around Thanksgiving. This session comes as part of an ongoing investigation initiated immediately after the incident was reported. Following the new testimony, CBS Studios has conducted additional interviews to further clarify the situation.
The recent inquiry, first reported by TMZ, has raised questions about whether any significant new information has emerged that could alter the findings of the original investigation.
As the investigation unfolds, the storyline of Del Rio’s character, Billy, will conclude in the seventh episode of the series. The eighth episode, which serves as Matlock’s fall finale, is set to air tonight on CBS.
