Actor Timothy Busfield faces editing out of Amazon's upcoming film "You Deserve Each Other" following child sex abuse allegations. Busfield was accused of groping a 7-year-old boy on the set of another TV show, "The Cleaning Lady". This is not the first project affected by his alleged actions; NBC previously pulled an episode of "Law & Order: SVU" that featured Busfield from its schedule.
An arrest warrant was issued against Busfield on January 9 on two counts of sexual abuse involving a minor. The allegations stem from twin boys who appeared in "The Cleaning Lady" in 2022, when Busfield was the director. He turned himself in at the Metro Detention Center in Albuquerque on January 13 and will remain there until his court hearing.
Busfield faces three charges: two counts of criminal sexual contact with a child and one count of child abuse. The film "You Deserve Each Other" also features Penn Badgley, Meghann Fahy, Justin Long, and several other cast members. Directed by Marc Silverstein and Abby Kohn, the movie is based on Sarah Hogle's novel of the same name and follows a couple who are struggling to reconnect before their wedding.
Following Busfield's arrest warrant, it appears that his contribution to "You Deserve Each Other" will be significantly reduced due to the allegations against him. This decision comes as a result of ongoing investigations into his behavior on set.

. I feel bad for the cast members who are still gonna have to deal with this drama. Penn Badgley, Meghann Fahy, and Justin Long, what's gonna happen to their careers? I guess you could say they're collateral damage in all this 
. The thing that really gets me is how many kids were involved in "The Cleaning Lady" and Busfield was directing them 
. That's some serious karma right there 
. Anyway, I hope the cast members can get through this without too much damage.
this is so sad & concerning 
and i'm all for giving people second chances, but when there's a chance someone could've harmed a child... no way 
. I'm glad he's being held accountable, though 
especially since they're looking into his behavior on set. maybe this is an opportunity for us to talk about consent & boundaries in the workplace? 
. First, Busfield gets accused of groping this little kid on set and suddenly he's in hot water? It's like the whole system is just waiting for an excuse to take him down. And now, his movie is getting edited out because of it? It seems like some people are trying to cover their own tracks 
what even is child sexual abuse tho... i don't get it, is that like a thing where someone touches you wrong when you're little? anyway, i feel so bad for the twins who were allegedly abused on set... can we talk about something else now my mind is all messed up 
did u know that pizza delivery guys have to go through training before they can deliver pizzas?? i read it online and stuff
