Summary
Gilbert, 62, said on Instagram she is leaving the Upper West Side one-bedroom apartment where she spent eight years and will live full time at the couple’s upstate home.
Her post gave no direct reason for the move but said, “we will be back,” while arriving as Busfield, 69, battles a New Mexico case accusing him of four counts of criminal sexual contact of a child.
Busfield has pleaded not guilty and recently moved to quash the February grand jury indictment, with his attorney alleging prosecutorial misconduct and suppression of exculpatory evidence.
Gilbert has publicly backed her husband, calling his arrest “the most traumatizing experience of our lives” in April and saying the scandal had upended their plans even if he is exonerated.
