The former Little House on the Prairie star said husband was ‘last person in world who would hurt a child’
Melissa Gilbert has staunchly defended her husband and fellow actor Timothy Busfield in her first interview since New Mexico prosecutors charged him with child sexual abuse in early February.
In part of a conversation scheduled to be broadcast on Monday on Good Morning America but circulated in advance as a preview, Gilbert told ABC host George Stephanopoulos that she believed the Emmy winner whom she married in 2013 to be “the last person in the world who would hurt a child”.
The former Little House on the Prairie cast member also suggested Busfield would have problems with her that were more serious than any prison sentence could be if he hurt children.
“This has been the most traumatizing experience of our lives – our life as we knew it is done,” Gilbert said to Stephanopoulos. “We are grieving what we had. All of our plans, all of our dreams, all of our ideas, all of our projects … for Tim, it’s done.
