Bubbles Actor Mike Smith Steps Back After 2017 Assault Charge in Canada

Mike Smith, internationally known for his role as Bubbles in the hit mockumentary Trailer Park Boys, has stepped down from his role as managing director of the show's production company amid a sexual assault charge in Canada.

Details of the Charge

Court documents filed in Nova Scotia Provincial Court state that the 52-year-old actor was charged on October 2 concerning an alleged assault that occurred on December 30, 2017, in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. The allegations are not yet proven in court.

Legal Restrictions

According to the filing, Smith is prohibited from contacting the alleged victim—whose identity is protected by a publication ban—or visiting their school, workplace, or residence. This information was first reported by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) earlier this month.

Production Company Statement

"We are aware of the allegation concerning Mike Smith dating back to 2017 and take such matters seriously. We recognise how difficult an allegation of this nature is for all involved. Out of respect for the legal process, we will not comment further on the case."

Trailer Park Boys Inc. confirmed that Smith has voluntarily stepped away from his management role while the legal proceedings continue.

Smith’s decision reflects a cautious approach amid serious allegations that remain unproven in court.
