Timothy Busfield is being edited out of an upcoming Amazon MGM movie following child sex abuse allegations against him ... TMZ has learned.

A source with direct knowledge tells TMZ ... the movie, "You Deserve Each Other," has already wrapped -- so he'll have to be digitally cut out of scenes.

Penn Badgley, Meghann Fahy, Justin Long, Natalie Morales and Ana Gasteyer star in the rom-com, which has yet to announce a release date.

This comes after Busfield was reportedly dropped by his agents at Innovative Artists last week.

Harry arrived at London’s High Court on Monday looking confident in a black suit … acknowledging a few spectators as he headed inside.

Dog the Bounty Hunter's son Garry Chapman -- who was fired, then reinstated, from a police force in Alabama last year -- is suing the department ... He says they only disciplined him to teach him a lesson for calling out a dirty cop.

Remember ... Chapman's employment was terminated last year after his involvement in a fatal high-speed car chase. He was later reinstated, but he says he should've never been fired in the first place.

In court documents, obtained by TMZ, Chapman alleges the police department, along with Priceville, Alabama, Mayor Sam Heflin, used the tragic incident as an opportunity to smear his name and get rid of him -- something Chapman alleges they were working on for some time.

As we all impatiently wait for the next batch of the Epstein files to drop, a mystery has surfaced from the old batch ... a very puzzling, four-legged (we think) mystery.

Check out this bizarre photo of what appears to be a shaggy pooch stuffed, or sitting, in a garbage bag ... which was placed inside a cardboard box.

The pic was buried inside a mountain of documents and visual footage released last month by the Department of Justice as part of the now-stalled rollout of the Epstein files.

The snapshot was overshadowed by all the attention on pics of famous people like Bill Clinton, Chris Tucker and Mick Jagger, but we dug it up for you now.

Nick Reiner's murderous rampage that resulted in the horrific death of his parents may have been fueled by more than mental illness -- meth may have played a big factor.

We sent a camera to Exposition Park near downtown L.A. -- where Nick was arrested -- to ask people about the drug culture in the area, and whether they ever saw Nick there.

One of the people we spoke with -- featured on the most recent episode of the "2 Angry Men" podcast -- said flatly ... Exposition Park is a drug den where users can get anything they want, including meth. He also said Nick looked familiar.

In the filing, obtained by TMZ, Timothy says he has a satisfying sex life with wife Melissa ... and she was happy to agree -- although he admits that due to their age, they cuddle more than they get down and dirty.

Timothy Busfield is firing back in his child sex abuse case, slamming prosecution witnesses for being unreliable with documented histories of fraud and financial exploitation, according to new court documents obtained by TMZ.

Busfield filed his opposition to the prosecution's motion to keep him behind bars during the pretrial stages of his New Mexico criminal case on Friday night. As you know, prosecutors have charged him with child abuse and criminal sexual contact of a minor.

In his filing, Busfield blasted prosecutors for asking the judge to imprison him "based on a story that has already collapsed under independent scrutiny."

Spanish singer Julio Iglesias -- the father of pop star Enrique Iglesias -- has denied sexually abusing 2 former employees who filed a criminal complaint against him.

Iglesias, one of the best-selling Latin artists of all time, took to Instagram Thursday to clap back at the allegations, saying in his native Spanish that he never "abused, coerced or disrespected any woman." He added ... "These accusations are completely false and cause me great sadness."

Rights group Women’s Link Worldwide filed the complaint on January 5 on behalf of the 2 unidentified women, and the prosecutor’s office of Spain’s High Court has confirmed it's looking into the complaint.

Nick Reiner was placed into a mental health conservatorship for one year, which may have resulted from an involuntary psychiatric hospitalization ... according to The New York Times.

NYC's newspaper of record published its findings Thursday ... citing Steven Baer, a licensed fiduciary who was Nick's appointed conservator, and a clerk for the Los Angeles County Superior Court. However, they did not provide any details beyond confirming Nick was in the conservatorship in 2020.

Reiner was placed in an LPS conservatorship -- a type of conservatorship initiated by a doctor which usually follows an involuntary psychiatric hospitalization -- sometime in 2020. This is a different kind of conservatorship than the ones celebs like Britney Spears underwent.

Prosecutors in New Mexico are holding court over the Timothy Busfield child sex abuse case ... and say they can prove beyond a reasonable doubt that he's guilty as charged.

Bregman didn't want to talk facts of the case, but he gave an update on Busfield's next court date and laid out a timeline of the investigation.

The award-winning actor and director is facing 3 felonies ... two counts of criminal sexual contact of a minor and one count of abuse of a child. He was in court yesterday, wearing an orange jail jumpsuit.

Timothy Busfield just appeared in a New Mexico court for the first time since surrendering on charges of child abuse and criminal sexual contact with a minor ... and we've got it all on video.

Timothy was shackled and in an orange jail jumpsuit for his very brief court appearance. He's being held without bond and has another court hearing later this month.

As we reported ... the award-winning actor and director was accused of sexually abusing two boys who were child actors on "The Cleaning Lady" while he was directing the show in 2022 in New Mexico. At the time, prosecutors say, the child actors were 7 and 8 at the time of the alleged contact, and their parents reported the alleged crimes to the Albuquerque police two years later, leading to a criminal investigation.

Busfield's civil lawyer, Larry Stein, told TMZ ... he believes there is a revenge factor at work. He points to the criminal complaint, which essentially says an actress on set claims that the mother of both boys told her she vowed to get revenge after her sons were cut from the final season of the show.
