CBS Just Picked a Side in the 'Matlock' Mess

Well, well, well. The gavel has dropped, and it’s not good news for David Del Rio. CBS just wrapped its reopened investigation into the ‘Matlock’ set drama and officially sided with his co-star, Leah Lewis. Ouch.

Sources spill that the network completed its deep dive and found Lewis’s claims held more weight. This isn’t just a slap on the wrist; it’s a full corporate endorsement of her version of events. But Del Rio isn’t going down without a fight.

His attorney is already firing back, promising the “book is far from closed” and hinting at legal avenues. So this behind-the-scenes battle is about to get very, very public. Will this end in a courtroom instead of a writers’ room? Stay tuned.
