Timothy Busfield just appeared in a New Mexico court for the first time since surrendering on charges of child abuse and criminal sexual contact with a minor … and we’ve got it all on video.

Timothy was shackled and in an orange jail jumpsuit for his very brief court appearance. He’s being held without bond and has another court hearing later this month.

As we reported … the award-winning actor and director was accused of sexually abusing two boys who were child actors on “The Cleaning Lady” while he was directing the show in 2022 in New Mexico. At the time, prosecutors say, the child actors were 7 and 8 at the time of the alleged contact, and their parents reported the alleged crimes to the Albuquerque police two years later, leading to a criminal investigation.

Busfield’s civil lawyer, Larry Stein, told TMZ … he believes there is a revenge factor at work. He points to the criminal complaint, which essentially says an actress on set claims that the mother of both boys told her she vowed to get revenge after her sons were cut from the final season of the show.

If you’re scratching your head over Ne-Yo’s polyamorous setup, relax … ’cause he’s breaking it all the way down and giving a no-nonsense explanation of how the whole thing actually works.

Ne-Yo laid it out on “Sherri” … saying he never wanted to lie to another woman again after his nasty, public divorce … and it’s that mindset that led to a convo with his longest-standing GF of the three about possibly expanding the relationship, instead of sneaking around.

Ne-Yo said he gave her the choice to open things up to two other women — no pressure, no ultimatums, totally her call. In the end, everyone was on board, and all three decided to stick around.

Sherri was still a little side-eye about the whole thing … but Ne-Yo kept breaking it down, explaining when it comes to things like gift-giving (especially with Valentine’s Day creeping up), he’s got to factor in three totally different personalities. Translation — it’s work, but he’s not scared of it.

So yeah, for Ne-Yo, three’s not a crowd. It’s loud, it’s proud, and apparently … very much allowed!

Just weeks after Greg Biffle, his family, and others were tragically killed in a North Carolina plane crash, burglars broke into his home — and stole $30K in cash.

The Iredell County Sheriff’s Office says deputies were dispatched to the Biffle residence around 6 PM on January 8 for a possible break-in.

They reported that a backpack and $30,000 in cash were missing from the home.

No arrests have been made in connection with the theft, and the investigation is still ongoing.

TMZ Sports recently obtained 911 calls from witnesses detailing the horrific scene, including one caller at a nearby golf course who said the plane crashed into a tree line before there was a “huge explosion.”
