Trailer Park Boys actress quits after co-star Mike 'Bubbles' Smith arrested for domestic battery for allegedly choking a woman

A Trailer Park Boys actress has quit the show after co-star Mike 'Bubbles' Smith was arrested for allegedly choking a woman at an iconic Hollywood hotel.

Lucy DeCoutere tweeted Saturday she was resigning - just one day after Smith was arrested on domestic battery charges.

'If I find out that somebody is abusive, I cut them out of my life. It's very easy,' said DeCoutere who claimed previously she had been a victim of sexual abuse by a Canadian radio host.

DeCoutere's comments came shortly after the Trailer Park Boys released a statement which insisted the cast stood behind Smith, CBC reports.

Show manager Louis Thomas said later that the statement only represented the show's three main characters.

Smith himself has since released a statement disputing the allegations against him.

'(Alleged victim) Georgia is a friend of mine and we had a loud and heated dispute,' he said. At no time did I assault her. I am not guilty of the misdemeanor charged against me.'

Georgia Ling, the alleged victim, has also released a statement defending Smith, saying that someone had heard them arguing and called the police. 

'At no point did I feel I was in danger, otherwise I would've called the police myself, which I did not,' she said.

Mike became the breakout star of TV mockumentary Trailer Park Boys when it first aired in Canada in the early 2000s playing trailer park inhabitant Bubbles. The cult show has been resurrected after old episodes found a large international following thanks to Netflix

'The police were called by others not present in the room who mistakenly perceived the argument to be something other than what it was. When the officers arrived, I tried to assure them there was no real issue, but they proceeded to arrest Mike.' 

Smith, the man behind the cult character Bubbles from the resurrected comedy, was arrested early Friday morning.

TMZ reports that the 43-year-old actor was taken into custody after a verbal altercation with a woman allegedly turned violent.

The Canadian actor - whose show's tenth season was released on Netflix just days earlier - was detained by Hollywood Police at 1.15am after witnesses reported a man and woman fighting in a bathroom at the Roosevelt Hotel.

The actor was charged with misdemeanor domestic battery but released just after 5am Friday morning on $20,000 bail, the Dailymail.com has confirmed.

Witnesses told TMZ that the Trailer Park Boys star and the woman were arguing in the restrooms near the hotel's iconic pool and bar reportedly over who the actor was texting.

Previous support: The actor has previously spoken out against violence against women supporting his fellow Trailer Park Boys star Lucy DeCoutere after she accused Canadian radio personality Jian Ghomeshi of choking and raping her

Witnesses claim they then heard the woman yell, 'You're chocking me', and when they ran to help they say Mike pinning the woman against the bathroom wall.

The actor reportedly ran away but was detained a short time later by LAPD officers. 

Earlier in the evening the star had been at performance by English funnyman Noel Fielding before heading to the Hollywood Boulevard hotel.

Smith had previously spoken out against violence against women and even offered support to DeCoutere after she accused Canadian radio personality Jian Ghomeshi of choking and raping her. 

Back in 2014, Mike wrote on Twitter: 'I am incredibly proud of my friend @lucydecoutere for having the courage to come forward against #JianGhomeshi Way to go Luce! #IBelieveLucy.'

Last month, Jian was found not guilty of raping the actress and two other women who also said they were attacked by him.

Mike became the breakout star of TV mockumentary Trailer Park Boys when it first aired in Canada in the early 2000s playing trailer park inhabitant Bubbles.

The cult show has been resurrected after old episodes found a large international following thanks to Netflix.

The streaming service has since commissioned new episodes and a number of specials with its tenth season released March 28, just days before Mike's arrest.
