Actress Melissa Gilbert has spoken about her husband, Timothy Busfield, who is accused of child sexual abuse. This is her first interview since the charges were brought forward. She maintains that she trusts her husband and that if she knew about the allegations, she would not forgive him. The case was reopened in 2025 after one of the boys reported the alleged abuse to his doctor. Despite previous allegations of sexual misconduct, Gilbert believes her life is over regardless of the outcome of the trial.
