Overview
- Amazon MGM Studios will digitally remove Busfield’s completed role from the rom-com, which has finished filming and has not set a release date.
- Busfield is charged in New Mexico with two counts of criminal sexual contact of a minor and one count of child abuse tied to allegations involving twin boys from the Fox series.
- Prosecutors are seeking pretrial detention and argue a pattern of misconduct, citing a newly reported claim that he groped a 16-year-old during an audition at Sacramento’s B Street Theatre.
- Busfield denies the allegations; his legal team points to a passed polygraph, a psychosexual evaluation deeming him very low risk, and a Warner Bros. review that did not substantiate on‑set claims.
- Professional fallout has mounted as Innovative Artists dropped him and NBC pulled a scheduled Law & Order: SVU episode featuring his guest appearance.
