Lucy DeCoutere left Trailer Park Boys in 2016, reportedly resigning after co- star Mike Smith was arrested on suspicion of misdemeanor domestic battery. Several outlets at the time connected her departure to that incident, though DeCoutere later stated there were no hard feelings and suggested she had informed producers she wouldn’t be returning for future seasons. The sequence was widely reported in early April 2016, with subsequent statements emphasizing her personal decision to quit rather than an ongoing feud with the cast or crew.
