Warner Bros. ‘cannot confirm Timothy Busfield’s allegations

Warner Bros.’s independent investigation began in March with a series of ten people, including Busfield, interviewed. “None of the witnesses (the investigator) interviewed were aware of any such claims or behavior by Mr. Busfield,” the report said.

However, the investigator noted one moment of interest with actress Elodie Yung, who claimed to be close to a parent of the alleged victims.

The investigator noted that Yung showed her “a photo she had taken when her twin boys stood on either side of Mr. Busfield with his arms around them.” The parent allegedly said, “Mr. Busfield was acting inappropriately in the photo,” which Yung did not believe. She found the parents’ comment ‘weird’. The researcher added that Yung “felt so uncomfortable about it that she has since ‘distanced’ herself from the family.”

Furthermore, the investigator asked Yung if Busfield was possibly alone in a room with a young actor. “According to Ms. Yung, if the boy had been alone in the conference room with Mr. Busfield, it would have been for only a few seconds as she stood in the doorway with the door open and chatted with the parent, who had become a close friend of hers,” the report dictated.

The report made a point of explaining its purpose, which was not to “prove or disprove” the allegations. Rather, the “investigation focused on establishing the credibility of the allegations against Mr. Busfield and attempting, if possible, to corroborate through objective evidence the facts relating to the allegations contained in the complaints.”

Ultimately, the investigator concluded that there was not enough evidence to support either complaint.

The report was completed in March 2025, but an addendum was added in September 2025 regarding additional allegations.

Warner Bros. received a draft complaint for damages in connection with allegations that Busfield engaged in inappropriate conduct toward twins on the set of The cleaning lady. Five new allegations were added to the investigation, including the claim that Busfield asked the children to call him “Uncle Tim.”

Furthermore, Busfield was accused of treating the young actors differently and engaging in “sexual grooming” by “encouraging them to play with his dog and/or inviting them to his personal residence on one or more occasions.”

Busfield was accused of isolating the children from their parents, touching them inappropriately as allegedly depicted in photos, and “grooming” a separate child. The parents of the additionally observed child “do not remember such an incident”.

The investigator did not interview any of the alleged victims. The investigation again concluded that there was not enough evidence to substantiate the allegations made.
