Trailer Park Boys Star Charged with Sexual Assault, Exits Role

In a concerning development, Mike Smith, the actor known for his role as Bubbles on the popular Netflix comedy series Trailer Park Boys, has stepped away from his position as the managing director of Trailer Park Boys Inc. This comes after Smith was charged in early October 2025 over an alleged sexual assault incident that occurred in December 2017 in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia.

The production company behind the show has stated that they take such matters "seriously" and that Smith has "stepped away" from his managing director responsibilities, with Gary Howsam now assuming those duties. The company has refrained from commenting further on the ongoing legal proceedings, citing respect for the process.

Trailer Park Boys, which was created by Mike Clattenburg, had recently wrapped up its 13th season in August 2025, following a nearly eight-year gap since the previous season. The show, which also stars Rob Wells as Ricky and John Paul Tremblay as Julian, has been a long-running success for Netflix since the streaming giant revived it in 2014.

As the legal case against Smith continues, the future of his involvement with the beloved Canadian mockumentary series remains uncertain. The Trailer Park Boys team has emphasized their commitment to addressing such allegations with the utmost seriousness, underscoring the gravity of the situation.
