His wife, Katherine Del Rio, took to social media to express her feelings about the situation, specifically targeting the actress who made the accusations.

Details of the Allegation and Firing

  • Coco was born in March, adding to the couple’s family dynamics during this tumultuous period.

Current Status of ‘Matlock’
