'Rick & Morty' Voice Justin Roiland Has Been Fired Amid Abuse Charges & Alleged Creepy DMs

Rick And Morty star Justin Roiland has been fired from the show that he co-created and voiced, after it was reported that he'd been charged with domestic abuse in California.

The charges prompted many of Roiland's critics to share alleged leaked DMs and comments about underage girls from the past.

Adult Swim announced Tuesday that it has "ended its association" with Roiland, although the show will not be cancelled.

"Rick and Morty will continue," the show's Twitter account wrote.

Roiland voiced both of the lead characters in the show, meaning someone else will have to step in going forward.

Some fans have already started offering up their own impressions of the lead characters in hopes of landing the role, although it's unclear how they plan to replace Roiland.

The charges against Roiland go back to 2020, according to a criminal complaint obtained by NBC News. He has pleaded not guilty to one felony count of domestic battery with corporal injury and one felony count of false imprisonment by menace, violence, fraud and/or deceit.

NBC reports that the allegations involve an anonymous woman whom Roiland was dating in early 2020, although many of the details and court records remain sealed.

Roiland pleaded not guilty in May 2020 and was released on bond. He appeared in court earlier this month and is due for another appearance on April 27.

His attorney, T. Edward Welbourn, said reports about the case are "inaccurate" in a statement to the Hollywood Reporter.

"To be clear, not only is Justin innocent but we also have every expectation that this matter is on course to be dismissed once the district attorney's office has completed its methodical review of the evidence."

Roiland was also accused earlier this month of sending sexual DMs to a 16-year-old fan.

"Is it cool being a jailbait?" he allegedly asked, according to the unverified screenshots that spread widely on Twitter and Reddit.

A few others responded to the criminal charges by sharing their own explicit DMs from Roiland.

Others shared a clip of Roiland talking about teen girls on a podcast.

Roiland hasn't responded to the allegations about DMing fans.

Roiland and Dan Harmon launched Rick And Morty in 2013 and it became an instant hit with critics and fans. The show is a loose parody of Back To The Future in which a grumpy genius (Rick) and his neurotic grandson (Morty) go on various wild adventures across time, space and dimensions. Roiland has been the voice of both Rick and Morty since the beginning.

Roiland and Harmon signed a mega-deal after the show's third season to produce 70 more episodes. They're not even halfway through that deal at this point.

Harmon is expected to run the show on his own over going forward, although he's also faced accusations of sexual misconduct in the past.

Former Community writer Megan Ganz previously accused Harmon of treating her "like garbage" while he was her boss on the show, after she rejected his romantic advances. Ganz called Harmon out over the incident on Twitter in 2018 and Harmon ultimately apologized.

Roiland has not faced trial at this point, and no date has been set.
