Timothy Busfield will be edited out of the upcoming Amazon MGM film "You Deserve Each Other" following allegations that he groped a 7-year-old boy on the set of "The Cleaning Lady," Variety reported. This marks the second project impacted by the allegations against Busfield.
On January 12, NBC removed an episode of "Law & Order: SVU" featuring Busfield as a guest star from its schedule, with the episode originally slated to air on January 22. The allegations against Busfield have sent shockwaves through Hollywood, raising questions about the industry's handling of such accusations and the potential impact on ongoing and future projects.
An arrest warrant was issued for Busfield on January 9. The allegations and subsequent actions by Amazon MGM and NBC highlight the swift response from entertainment companies in the face of sexual abuse claims, reflecting a heightened awareness and sensitivity within the industry.
The decision to remove Busfield from "You Deserve Each Other" demonstrates the studio's commitment to distancing itself from the controversy. It remains to be seen how extensive the editing process will be and how it will affect the final film. The film's release date has not yet been affected.
The removal of Busfield from these projects underscores the potential consequences for actors facing such allegations, impacting their careers and future opportunities. The situation continues to develop as law enforcement investigates the claims against Busfield.
