David Del Rio’s wife, Katherine Del Rio, blasted Leah Lewis amid allegations her husband sexually assaulted the actress.

Katherine posted a close-up photo of Lewis’ face via Instagram Stories on Thursday, writing, “This is the most disturbing human being I have ever met.”

The 34-year-old also also mocked Lewis’ statement about the scandal, sharing the exact same thing with her followers.

“Mom is here, we’re moving forward in love and strength,” read Lewis’ smiling red carpet snap, which Katherine copied. “I’m in good hands.

“Thank you to everybody for any kind of support and care,” the “Nancy Drew” alum continued. “Truly, we’re moving forward in strength. Key word, strength. Please, let that be the takeaway.”

Katherine has since deleted both posts.

David and Lewis’ reps did not immediately respond to Page Six’s requests for comment.

News broke Thursday that David, 38, had been fired from the CBS legal drama over accusations he sexually assaulted Lewis.

The alleged assault took place on Sept. 26, according to Deadline.

The outlet claimed that David was “fired and escorted off the lot [on Oct. 2], the same day the alleged assault was reported.”

His character, Billy Martinez, is being immediately written off the show’s second season.

The show, notably, is on a filming hiatus until November after production of the season’s first half wrapped.

David has yet to publicly address the scandal — and Lewis, who plays Sarah Franklin, has not spoken out apart from her initial statement.

The “Matlock” cast also includes Kathy Bates, Jason Ritter and more stars, who have yet to comment.

“Matlock” Season 2 premieres on Oct. 12.
