Summary
On her August 26 show, Megyn Kelly accused Melissa Gilbert of hypocrisy for urging better protection of child stars while standing by husband Timothy Busfield.
Kelly targeted Gilbert’s Substack essay after Hayden Panettiere’s death, saying the abuse Gilbert described was tied to “people like your husband” and calling the post an attempt to repair her reputation.
Busfield, 69, has been charged with four counts of criminal sexual contact of a minor under 13 in New Mexico, and USA Today previously reported four women also accused him of sexual abuse.
He has denied the allegations, pleaded not guilty, waived arraignment and most pretrial appearances, and is scheduled to go to trial in May 2027.
