David Del Rio returned to Instagram just days after leaving Matlock amid sexual assault allegations.
The actor shared quiet family photos with his wife Katherine Del Rio and their two daughters.
The photos showed a warm holiday moment at home as 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 his co-star Leah Lewis.
However, the production team acted quickly and removed him from the set while they conducted a private review.
In October, producers decided that his character Billy Martinez 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.
Friends of the family said the couple were staying strong together as they dealt with the allegations.
Leah Lewis returned to filming and posted online that she was moving forward in love and strength.
Cast members, including Beau Bridges, said the series would continue and production would restart before Christmas.
Matlock aired its midseason finale on December eleven, and the rest of the second season is set to return on February 26 with updated story plans following Del Rio’s exit.
