Actor director Timothy Busfield was arraigned on four counts of sexual abuse against minors. These charges stem from when Busfield was directing twins on the set of the series “The Cleaning Lady.” After a pleading “not guilty” at a hearing, Busfield was given bail. Many women have come forward since the 1990’s allegding sexual harassment and predatory behavior from Busfield. In a video given to the defense friendly outlet TMZ Busfield called the allegations against him “lies” and swore he would fight the charges. In a new interview with Good Morning America this week, Busfield’s wife actress Melissa Gilbert slammed the victims’ parents and said her and her husband’s lives were a “living hell”. Was Gilbert groomed by Busfield to be an accomplice in his crimes? What responsibility does she have to the victims in this case? Let’s talk about it!
