David Del Rio returned to Instagram just days after leaving Matlock amid sexual assault allegations.
The actor shared calm family photos with his wife Katherine Del Rio and their two daughters.
The photos showed a warm holiday moment at home, with Katherine writing that she felt deeply grateful to her family, which many people thought 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 it from the set while a private review was conducted.
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 his post.
Family friends said the couple remained united while dealing with the claims.
Leah Lewis returned to filming and posted online that she was moving forward with love and strength.
The cast, including Beau Bridges, said the series would continue and production would resume before Christmas.
Matlock aired its midseason finale on December 11, and the remainder of the second season is scheduled to return on February 26 with updated story plans following Del Rio’s exit.
