NBC Pulls Timothy Busfield ‘SVU’ Episode Amid Child Sex Abuse Manhunt
Timothy Busfield
‘SVU’ Episode Yanked Amid Manhunt
Published
NBC has yanked a new episode of “Law & Order: SVU” that was to air this week … because it features Timothy Busfield, who’s facing child sex abuse charges.
A source with knowledge confirmed to TMZ … this Thursday’s ‘SVU,’ titled “Corrosive,” will be shelved … and a new episode scheduled for next week has been bumped up.
It’s unclear if Timothy’s one-off episode — in which he plays Judge Warren Fels — will ever see the light of day.
TMZ broke the news … the feds are now involved in his case … and we’re told the U.S. Marshals Service is assisting New Mexico authorities in locating Busfield and taking him into custody in connection with the allegations.
A federal law enforcement source tells TMZ … the U.S. Marshals and Albuquerque PD are tracking Busfield’s last-known movements. The source says Busfield may not be in New Mexico … and that’s why the Marshals were brought in.
As we previously reported … the award-winning film and TV actor and director was accused of sexually abusing underage boys who were child actors on “The Cleaning Lady” while he was directing the show.
An investigation into Busfield began in November 2024 — and a warrant for his arrest was issued on Friday. We’re told Busfield is not currently in custody, and law enforcement has not provided a timeline for an arrest. His whereabouts have not been publicly disclosed.
The actor is best known for his roles in “The West Wing,” Revenge of the Nerds,” “Thirtysomething,” and “Field of Dreams.”
JoJo Siwa
A.I. Do!!!
Published
JoJo Siwa‘s officially a bride — in the A.I.-verse, at least — because she posted an artificially- created pic of herself on her wedding day!
The pop star shared a photo on Snapchat Tuesday … a selfie where she’s staring dreamily into the camera while wearing a white wedding dress — with a veil pulled back framing her golden hair.
The pic has “Call me a wife!!!” written along the bottom of it … but hold on, Siwa fans — because it’s a pretty premature post.
JS isn’t even engaged yet … and, other photos she posted indicate she put the prompt “Turn me into a Bride that’s getting ready for her wedding” into an A.I. engine to see the results.
While she’s not a bride yet, last month JoJo and her boyfriend Chris Hughes publicly discussed the prospect of marriage … with Hughes revealing to The Sun he plans to propose when Siwa least expects it.
JoJo set a hard deadline for Hughes … telling him she expects a ring in the next seven years — so set a reminder for 2032 because CH has until then to get down on one knee.
Siwa seems excited at the possibility, though … and, thankfully, A.I. is here to fuel the daydream!
Singer Julio Iglesias
Accused of Sexual Assault …
Under Investigation In Spain
Published
Superstar singer Julio Iglesias is in the crosshairs of prosecutors in Spain, where he’s under investigation after two former female employees accused him of sexual assault.
The Spanish High Court prosecutor’s office announced the probe Tuesday after Univision and Spanish media outlet elDiario.es published the women’s allegations.
Julio’s accusers reportedly claimed they suffered sexual assault and workplace harassment while working for him in 2021 at his homes in the Dominican Republic and the Bahamas … alleging Julio pressured them into sexual encounters and abused them physically and verbally.
Prosecutors in Spain say a claim was filed last week against Julio, who is a national treasure in the European nation. He’s sold over 300 million records in his career.
One of Julio’s accusers reportedly claimed he would digitally penetrate her anus and vagina without her consent, and told the outlets, “He used me almost every night. I felt like an object, like a slave.”
We reached out to Julio’s camp … so far no word back.
