Melissa Gilbert's Social Media Exit Amid Husband's Legal Drama

Melissa Gilbert, famous for her role in "Little House on the Prairie, " has taken down her Instagram account. This move comes as her husband, Timothy Busfield, faces serious allegations. Busfield is accused of inappropriate behavior with two young boys when they were just seven years old. He was directing them on a TV show called "The Cleaning Lady" at the time. The charges include criminal sexual contact with a minor and child abuse. Busfield and Gilbert live in upstate New York, but the arrest warrant is from New Mexico. Reports say Busfield's whereabouts are unknown, and the U. S. Marshals are involved in the search. Meanwhile, NBC has rescheduled an episode of "Law & Order: SVU" featuring Busfield. It was originally set to air on January 15 but is now pushed to January 22.Gilbert and Busfield tied the knot in 2013. After the charges against Busfield came to light, Gilbert deleted her Instagram account. This decision might be linked to a recent post where she criticized Megyn Kelly over comments about the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. Kelly had mentioned that there is a difference between a 15-year-old and a 5-year-old when discussing pedophilia. Gilbert took offense and shared her own experience as a 15-year-old actress, emphasizing that she was a child at the time. Megyn Kelly responded to Gilbert's post after the charges against Busfield were made public. Kelly pointed out that Gilbert knew about the investigation into her husband when she attacked Kelly. Busfield has denied the allegations, suggesting that the accusations might be motivated by a personal grudge. This situation raises questions about accountability and the importance of understanding the severity of such allegations. It also highlights the complexities of public figures navigating personal crises while under public scrutiny.
