Her return to social media comes months after Busfield was indicted by a grand jury in New Mexico on four counts of criminal sexual contact of a minor, according to PEOPLE magazine. The charges are linked to alleged incidents from October 2022 and September 2023 involving children under the age of 13.

Busfield pleaded not guilty to all charges after surrendering to police in January. He was later released from custody with conditions while awaiting trial, which is currently scheduled to begin in May 2027.
