David Del Rio returned to Instagram just days after leaving Matlock due to sexual assault allegations.
The actor shared quiet family photos with his wife Katherine Del Rio and their two daughters.
The images showed a warm holiday moment at home, while Katherine wrote that she felt deeply grateful for her family, which many people believed was her way of showing strength during the situation.
Del Rio left the CBS show after an alleged incident in late September involving co-star Leah Lewis.
However, the production team acted quickly and removed him from the set while they conducted a private review.
By October the producers decided that his character Billy MartÃnez would no longer continue in the remaining episodes of the second season.
The writers planned to move the story forward without changing older scenes.
Katherine publicly defended her husband at the time and later deleted her post.
Family friends said the couple stayed close while dealing with the claims.
Leah Lewis returned to filming and posted online that she was moving forward with love and strength.
Cast members including Beau Bridges said the series would continue and production would begin again before Christmas.
Matlock aired its midseason finale on December 11, and the remainder of the second season will return in February ‘226 with updated story plans after Del Rio’s departure.
