Shortly after Busfield turned himself in, a rep for Gilbert, who married Busfield in 2013, released a statement on the star’s behalf, which noted that she is “honoring the request of Tim’s lawyers not to speak publicly while the legal process unfolds.”
“During this period, her focus is on supporting and caring for their very large family, as they navigate this moment,” the statement said. “Melissa stands with and supports her husband and will address the public at an appropriate time. We ask that their privacy be respected.”
