Melissa Gilbert is speaking out about the ongoing child sex abuse case involving her husband, actor Timothy Busfield, and admitted that it’s “the most traumatizing experience of our lives.”

In an interview set to air Monday on “Good Morning America,” the former “Little House on the Prairie” star said to George Stephanopoulos that the life she shared with her husband of nearly 13 years “is done.”

In the teaser clip below, Gilbert says she and her husband are now “grieving what we had. All of our plans, all of our dreams, all of our ideas, all of our projects.”

She added that things may be easier for her, but “for Tim, it’s done. He’s canceled, and this will never — even if he’s exonerated, he will always be that guy.”

Back in February, a New Mexico grand jury indicted Busfield on four counts of criminal sexual contact with a child. A child had accused the actor of touching him inappropriately while working on the set of “The Cleaning Lady,” a TV series Busfield directed and acted in, between 2022 and 2024.

Busfield has pleaded not guilty and is expected to appear in court in May 2027, according to People. The actor, who is best known for his roles on the “West Wing” and “Thirtysomething,” is currently out of jail on his own recognizance.

Gilbert maintained his innocence in her “GMA” interview.

″[He’s] the last person in the world who would hurt a child,” she said. “And believe me, if I thought for a second that Tim Busfield hurt a child, he’d have a lot more to worry about than prison.”
