Melissa Gilbert's lifestyle brand pulled the plug on an upcoming event after her husband, Timothy Busfield, surrendered to police after an arrest warrant was issued for alleged child sex abuse. News broke on Wednesday, January 14, that Gilbert's virtual appearance for her brand Modern Prairie - set to take place on Friday, January 16 - was canceled. The company alleged "an unexpected scheduling change" was the reason for the sudden shakeup. (Gilbert, 61, was slated to host an "Ask Melissa Anything" virtual Q&A.) "We're reaching out with an important update about Friday's Modern Prairie event," an email from the brand read, via People. "Due to an unexpected scheduling change, Melissa will not be available, and the event has been canceled." The statement continued, "We know many of you were looking forward to gathering together, and we truly appreciate your understanding as we respect Melissa's need for privacy and space," seemingly hinting at the drama surrounding her spouse.

Thank you for continuing to show care, empathy, and support within our community. Us Weekly has reached out to Gilbert's rep for comment. Prior to the event's cancellation, Modern Prairie, which Gilbert founded in 2022 alongside Nicole Hasse, released a statement in regards to Busfield's child sex abuse case. "Modern Prairie is aware of recent media reports regarding serious allegations involving a family member of our brand muse, Melissa Gilbert. These allegations do not involve Modern Prairie, our operations, nor our community," the statement shared via Instagram on Wednesday read. "Modern Prairie unequivocally condemns abuse in all forms and remains committed to values of safety, integrity and respect. While these matters are personal and do not directly involve Melissa or the brand, we are respecting the privacy of the family as they navigate a difficult and personal situation."

The cancellation comes just days after Us Weekly confirmed on Friday, January 9, that a warrant was issued for Busfield, 68, whom Gilbert has been married to since 2013. The Albuquerque Police Department issued the warrant after two twin brothers accused Busfield of unlawful sexual conduct on the set of The Cleaning Lady. Busfield was the director of the show, which ran from 2022 to 2025, while the alleged victims were child actors. One of the children involved in the case claimed in a criminal complaint that he was 7 years old when the first alleged incident of inappropriate touching occurred. The child's mother later reported the alleged abuse to Child Protective Services, claiming the incidents took place between late 2022 and the second half of 2024. Who Is Timothy Busfield Married To? Inside the Actor's Romantic History Both boys were diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder and anxiety following the alleged incidents, per the complaint. Busfield, for his part, denied during the police investigation that there was anything "weird" about his interactions with the children on set. The actor allegedly told investigators that it was "highly likely that he would have" tickled or picked up the alleged victims, because he worked to create a "playful environment" on set. While Busfield has maintained his innocence, he did surrender himself to the New Mexico police on Tuesday, January 13. "I'm going to confront these lies. They're horrible. They're all lies, and I did not do anything to those little boys," Busfield claimed in a video obtained by TMZ at the time. "I'm going to fight it. I'm going to fight it with a great team, and I'm going to be exonerated. I know I am because this is all so wrong and all lies." Where The Cast of 'Little House on the Prairie' Is Now Busfield's civil attorney, Stanton "Larry" Stein, claimed in a statement to Us on Tuesday that his client is "innocent and is determined to clear his name," which the lawyer added is why the actor turned himself over to the police. Stein also alleged that once one of the alleged victim's sons was "terminated" from The Cleaning Lady, "the boy's mother vowed to 'get her revenge'" against Busfield. "What followed appears to be a calculated effort to construct a case, driven by animus not fact, despite prior investigations finding no evidence of wrongdoing," the attorney claimed in the same statement. Busfield was booked on Tuesday and his mugshot was released hours later. He has been charged with two counts of criminal sexual contact of a minor and one count of child abuse.
