On Nov 17, actor Melissa Gilbert made sure she got herself in the paper by attacking yours truly for allegedly downplaying the seriousness of Epstein’s abuse of teenagers (in fact I made clear that abuse at any age disgusts me). When she launched her attack, SHE KNEW that her husband, actor/director Timothy Busfield was actively under investigation for allegedly M0LESTING TWO CHILDREN WHEN THEY WERE 7 YEARS OLD. She knew bc (we learned today ⬇️) that she had been on the call when POLICE told her husband all about it on November 3d.
THERE IS CURRENTLY A WARRANT OUT FOR HIS ARREST - charged with two counts of criminal sexual contact of a minor and one count of child abuse, allegedly taking place over a period of years. His wife knew this was in the works.
But Melissa saw an opportunity to play the “avenger” of victims and she took it, dishonestly attacking and lecturing your reporter on abuse claims in a cynical
effort to get some Chips in the Good Person bank, undoubtedly knowing that this story about her husband would soon break - replete with the details on how she allegedly bought presents for these boys and helped foster the relationship.
Note to media: it’s always the ones who morally preen the hardest. Always. And the reason it’s them is that they have something to hide. So they need to convince you that they are righteous and others are not, something normal people feel no need to do. Her husband Timothy, at the moment, is reportedly still AT LARGE and WANTED by the police.
Shame on Melissa Gilbert for her despicable ploy. And shame on Timothy Busfield, who denies the charges but reportedly admits to “tickling” the young boys’ stomachs and legs and acting “playful” w/them while in an authority position.

The phrase "morally preening" is perfect👌
