'Rick and Morty' cuts ties with Justin Roiland after domestic violence charges

Adult Swim, which airs the adult comedy "Rick and Morty," announced on Tuesday that it will no longer work with series co-creator Justin Roiland. The news comes less than two weeks after he was charged with domestic violence in Orange County.

"Adult Swim has ended its association with Justin Roiland," said a statement posted on social media and the official "Rick and Morty" accounts. "Rick and Morty will continue."

Roiland, who also co-created and stars in Hulu's "Solar Opposites," appeared in court on Jan. 12 for a pretrial hearing related to charges filed in May 2020.
