Amazon MGM to Remove Timothy Busfield From Completed Rom-Com After Child Sex Abuse Charges

The decision follows his jailing in New Mexico on charges linked to The Cleaning Lady.

Overview

  • Industry sources say Busfield’s performance will be digitally excised from You Deserve Each Other, which finished filming and has no release date announced.
  • Busfield surrendered on January 13 after a warrant was issued January 9, appeared in court the next day, and remains held without bond in Bernalillo County with a pre-trial detention motion hearing set for Tuesday.
  • He is charged in New Mexico with two counts of criminal sexual contact with a child and one count of child abuse tied to alleged incidents involving twin boys who worked on The Cleaning Lady in 2022.
  • Innovative Artists has dropped Busfield, and NBC removed a planned Law & Order: SVU episode featuring him from its schedule.
  • Busfield denies the accusations and, in filings, claims the boys’ parents fabricated the story after the children were replaced on the series.
