In a recent interview on Good Morning America, actress Melissa Gilbert expressed unwavering support for her husband, Timothy Busfield, who faces serious allegations of child abuse. Busfield was indicted in February on four counts of criminal sexual contact involving a minor, with the incidents reportedly occurring on the set of the television series The Cleaning Lady in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Although he has pleaded guilty to the charges, he maintains his innocence. Gilbert highlighted her deep personal knowledge of Busfield, stating, “I trust him with my children’s lives.” She acknowledged the impact of the allegations on their lives, noting that Busfield has effectively been “cancelled” despite his claims of innocence. Gilbert also addressed past allegations against Busfield from 1994 and 2012, asserting that she was aware of these before their marriage and had discussed them with him. She reiterated her belief in his character and his intention to share his side of the story when appropriate as they navigate the ongoing legal proceedings.
