Timothy Busfield, the 'West Wing' star, stepped out for the first time since his release from jail, looking worlds away from his recent mugshot vibes. Spotted leaving a swanky New Mexico Airbnb with his legal squad in tow, the actor is navigating his child sex abuse charges amid a heated defense battle. His wife, Melissa Gilbert, gave a supportive wave from the doorway as he headed out for case-related business.
Oh honey, the tea is piping hot on Timothy Busfield! The 'West Wing' icon was finally free as a bird on Wednesday, strutting out without those pesky shackles or guards we've been side-eyeing since he turned himself in on January 13. Draped head-to-toe in black and clutching a simple bottled water, Busfield hopped into a limo from his luxe $750-a-night New Mexico Airbnb that straight-up looks like a castle. 😎
Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ he was just stepping out to handle some case biz and plans to boomerang back for a family night in. But will they stick around that posh pad? Jury's out—or should we say, judge's ruling? Speaking of, prosecutors took a major L yesterday when the judge shut down their 'danger to society' narrative faster than you can say 'objection.'
Busfield's lawyers are serving up the real shade, claiming the whole mess stems from revenge-hungry parents who they call 'straight-up con artists.' Remember the charges? Child sexual abuse involving two boys—twin brothers, no less—from the 2022 'The Cleaning Lady' cast. Prosecutors allege he touched them inappropriately, but the defense? They're calling it fabricated drama after the boys got the boot from the final season. 🔥
And plot twist: TMZ snagged audio from the twins' November 2024 cop interview where, when asked if Tim ever touched their privates, both flat-out said, 'No.' Busfield denies it all, of course. As the legal eagles circle, one can't help but wonder: Is this Hollywood payback or something more sinister? Spill more, courts— we're all ears. 👀
