Overview
- Gilbert, in a Monday Good Morning America interview, said she is 100% confident Busfield will be exonerated and called the past few months traumatic.
- Busfield was indicted on February 6 in New Mexico on four counts of criminal sexual contact of a child tied to two 11-year-old twin boys from The Cleaning Lady set, has pleaded not guilty, and faces a tentative May 2027 trial.
- Prosecutors said a neutral grand jury found probable cause to proceed, while Busfield’s attorney argues the parents blamed him after the boys were recast and points to early therapy notes where the boys initially denied inappropriate touching.
- Gilbert said she knew of prior accusations from 1994 and 2012 that appear in the arrest records as pattern evidence, and several women have since reported older claims from the 1990s and 2000s to police.
- Gilbert said their plans and work have collapsed and that Busfield is seen as “canceled,” signaling long-term reputational damage regardless of the case’s outcome.
