The initial complaint was made in October when Del Rio was accused of assaulting Lewis while on Paramount property. Following the allegations, Del Rio was immediately removed from the show.

According to multiple sources, the investigation’s reopening occurred before Thanksgiving. The CBS studio has taken steps to interview several parties involved, including Del Rio himself and his attorney, Shawn Holley.
- Del Rio’s character was a lead role on “Matlock.”
- He was dismissed from the show on the same day the complaint was registered.
