Mike Smith, known to millions as Bubbles from the cult-favorite series “Trailer Park Boys,” has been charged with s3xual assault, according to new reports out of Canada.
CBC says the charge was filed in Halifax earlier this month and stems from an alleged incident dating back to 2017. Smith has reportedly been ordered not to contact the alleged victim or go near their home, workplace, or school.
Trailer Park Boys Inc. confirmed that Smith has stepped away from his role as managing director while the legal process plays out. In a statement, the company said it takes allegations of this nature seriously and won’t be commenting further out of respect for the ongoing case.
Smith is best known for playing Bubbles across 116 episodes of “Trailer Park Boys,” the wildly popular mockumentary that premiered in 2001 and originally ran until 2007. Netflix revived the franchise in 2014, adding five more seasons and multiple movies. Smith announced earlier this year that Season 13 is on the way and set to drop in April 2026.
This isn’t the first time Smith has faced legal trouble. Back in 2016, he was arrested in Los Angeles after allegedly pinning a woman against a wall. Prosecutors ultimately declined to pursue the case, saying there wasn’t enough evidence.
Smith’s manager, creator Mike Clattenburg, Paquin Entertainment Group, Trailer Park Boys+, and the Jones Entertainment Group are yet to react to the development.
