After the Matlock actress’ co-star David Del Rio was dropped from the CBS series starring Kathy Bates over sexual assault allegations, Leah, who plays attorney Sarah Franklin on the series, shared an update with fans, according to multiple news outlets.
“Mom is here,” she wrote on her now-expired Instagram Story on Oct. 9, as seen in a screenshot shared by Deadline. “We are moving forward in love and strength. I will be okay. Thank you to everyone for all kinds of support and care.”
Alongside a photo of herself hugging her mother, Lorraine Lewis, Leah continued, “We are truly moving forward with great strength. The key word is strength. I want you to think of it as a harvest.”
