[TV Report = Reporter Hye-mi Lee] Eliza Roberts, well-known as the wife of Hollywood actor Julia Roberts and Eric Roberts, confessed that she was sexually harassed by Timothy Busfield 30 years ago. According to TMZ on the 4th (local time), Roberts recently voluntarily released a statement in support of victims who accused Busfield of sexual harassment. Roberts, who claimed she was sexually harassed by Busfield 30 years ago, said, “We must believe the victims and blaming them is unacceptable.” He then fiercely criticized Busfield, saying, “The person who committed such a thing should not be free for 40 or 50 years.” Roberts also said that he was greatly shocked when he read the article accusing Busfield on the set of a movie, and confessed, "That happened to me too. When I was filming the movie 'Little Big League,' Busfield invited me to his trailer, gave me alcohol, and made sexual suggestions. I regret not responding more proactively at that time." It has been reported that Roberts, along with five other unidentified women, have submitted affidavits in support of the victims' lawsuit. Eliza Roberts is an American actress and producer who married Julia Roberts' older brother Eric Roberts in 1992. Meanwhile, Timothy Busfield was released conditionally a week after being detained on suspicion of child sex offences. Busfield is accused of having inappropriate physical contact with twin boys who were 7 years old at the time while filming the FOX drama 'Cleaning Lady', and a New Mexico state court decided at a pre-detention hearing held on the 20th that Busfield's criminal pattern or danger to the community was not sufficiently proven, and decided to release him conditionally.
