[samhexum]

David Del Rio has been fired from the CBScourtroom drama, a source confirms to TVLine, after the show was alerted to an incident involving the actor. An investigation was conducted, and the show has since parted ways with Del Rio. His character will immediately be written off, though it’s not clear how many episodes he’ll appear in for the upcoming Season 2. The show is currently on a filming hiatus through November after completing production on the first half of the season. (TVLine has reached out to Del Rio’s representatives for comment.)

No details about the alleged incident have been officially released, but TMZ, who first reported the news, says that Del Rio was accused of sexually assaulting co-star Leah Lewis on Paramount property. Del Rio was reportedly escorted off the Paramount lot last week as soon as the allegations were reported.
