Trailer Park Boys Star Steps Down Following Assault Charge
Mike Smith, the actor famed for portraying the beloved character Bubbles in the hit comedy series Trailer Park Boys, has resigned from his executive position. This move comes directly after sexual assault charges were formally filed against him in Canada.
The Charges and Company Response
The specific charge relates to an alleged incident that is said to have occurred on 30 December 2017. The legal proceedings were initiated on 2 October 2025, leading to Smith's imminent court appearance in Halifax.
In an official statement, Trailer Park Boys Inc. confirmed it has accepted Smith's departure from the role of managing director. The company stated it is "taking the allegation seriously" and has appointed Gary Howsam as the new managing director. Due to the ongoing nature of the legal case, the company has refrained from making any further public comments.
A Look at Previous Legal Issues
This is not the first time Mike Smith has faced legal trouble. Back in 2016, he was arrested in Los Angeles on a charge of domestic battery. However, those particular charges were subsequently dropped after authorities concluded there was insufficient evidence to proceed with the case.
The entertainment industry and fans of the show are now watching closely as this new, more serious legal challenge unfolds for the comedian and actor.
