Julia Roberts’ sister-in-law has leveled serious allegations against actor Timothy Busfield, branding him as someone who has engaged in sexual harassment and likening his behavior to that of a predator. Eliza Roberts, married to Eric Roberts, has come forward to back claims made by a 17-year-old girl who accused Busfield of misconduct on the set of the 1994 film “Little Big League.”

Eliza Roberts was compelled to speak out after reading about the teenager’s accusations, which included inappropriate and lewd behavior by Busfield. She expressed her shock at the news, stating that she had a similar experience with Busfield, which she had kept private until now.

The young girl, who worked with Busfield during the film’s production, alleged that he invited her to his trailer, offered her alcohol, and made unwanted advances. Eliza Roberts voiced her regret for not taking stronger action when she encountered similar behavior from Busfield herself.

Roberts, concerned about the potential fallout, explained that she refrained from speaking out earlier due to fears of negative publicity that could impact her family and career. She worried about the situation spiraling out of control and disrupting her personal and professional life.

In response to these allegations, Busfield’s attorney, Amber Fayerberg, has dismissed them as retaliatory actions. She accused the parents of the young actors involved of seeking revenge after their sons lost roles on a television show. Fayerberg claims that these accusations have effectively ended Busfield’s career, labeling the situation as a calculated attempt to damage his reputation.

Meanwhile, Busfield’s attorney, Amber Fayerberg, calls the parents of his current accusers, scammers out for revenge when their child actor sons lost their roles on a TV show. Fayerberg claims the parents got their revenge as Busfield has been cancelled, and his career is over.

Busfield’s talent agency dropped him, with allegations of pedophilia plastered all over the global media. His life is
ruined.
