Timothy Busfield's legal team has filed audio recordings where two young accusers initially denied any inappropriate touching by the actor. The evidence challenges prosecutors' claims in the ongoing New Mexico case. Meanwhile, Busfield is being removed from an upcoming film amid the scandal.
Oh, Hollywood, just when you thought the drama was wrapped—enter Timothy Busfield, the 'West Wing' alum now fighting child sex abuse charges with some seriously spicy audio tea. According to court filings submitted Monday in New Mexico, twin boys V.L. and S.L.—who later accused Busfield of touching their private parts—told police in a November 2024 interview that he did not. When the officer asked, "You know no one can touch your private areas?" both said yes, and followed up with a firm "No" to whether Tim ever did. Busfield's attorneys are calling this an "unequivocal denial," not just a failure to "disclose" as prosecutors put it. The boys only spilled the alleged details in September 2025 during therapy sessions, per their mother.
But wait, there's a third accuser: a 17-year-old actress Busfield directed in a 2000 stage production. His defense counters with witness Matthew Moore, who overheard the girl's father scheming. The dad reportedly said, "They are going to love it because Tim Busfield is going to present it to them, which I'm certain he will do because he will need to if he thinks he's going to f**k my daughter." When Moore asked why, the reply? "Because she's a total babe." Talk about leveraging looks for a leg up—messy! 😏
This all stems from accusations tied to Busfield directing the boys on 'The Cleaning Lady,' with parents Angele LaSalle and Ronald Rodis claiming abuse. Busfield fires back, accusing them of revenge after their kids were replaced in 2024 and hinting at their "shady pasts." He surrendered to authorities earlier this month and denies everything.
Career fallout? Ouch. He's been dropped by Innovative Artists and digitally edited out of the upcoming Amazon MGM rom-com 'You Deserve Each Other,' starring Penn Badgley, Meghann Fahy, Justin Long, Natalie Morales, and Ana Gasteyer. The film has wrapped, so cue the CGI magic. Busfield's in court Tuesday for a bail hearing—will he walk free, or is this scandal sticking like glue? Spill more, courts! 🔥
