‘Trailer Park Boys’ Star Mike Smith Charged With Sexual Assault (Report)

Mike Smith, who starred as Bubbles on the cult classic comedy series “Trailer Park Boys,” has been charged with sexual assault, according to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.

According to documents filed in Nova Scotia provincial court obtained by the outlet, Smith was charged on Oct. 2 in connection with an alleged assault that took place in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, on Dec. 30, 2017.

Smith’s rep and lawyer did not immediately respond to Variety‘s request for comment.

Production banner Trailer Park Boys Inc. told CBC in a statement that it was “aware of the allegation concerning Mike Smith,” and confirmed he has “stepped away” from his post as the company’s managing director.

“We recognize how difficult an allegation of this nature is for all involved,” read the statement. “Out of respect for the legal process, we will not comment further on the case.”

Smith made up one-third of the leading trio behind “Trailer Park Boys,” alongside John Paul Tremblay and Robb Wells. The mockumentary comedy first debuted in 2001 on the Canadian TV network Showcase, and was picked up by Netflix in 2014. “Trailer Park Boys” has run for 116 episodes and spawned a number of films and spin-off series. The show follows three trouble-making trailer park residents, Julian (Tremblay), Bubbles (Smith) and Ricky (Wells), who are inexplicably the subject of a documentary about their lives.

“Trailer Park Boys” Season 13 recently wrapped production in August. Set to stream on their recently launched TPB+ streaming service, the 13th season is expected to debut in April 2026, coinciding with the show’s 25th anniversary.
