Timothy Busfield is doubling down on his denial that he sexually abused a couple of child actors ... because his lawyer says his client took a lie detector test and passed with flying colors.

The actor/director's attorney, Larry Stein, tells TMZ ... "Tim Busfield denies the allegations in the criminal complaint and maintains they are completely false. As a voluntary step, he submitted to an independent polygraph examination regarding those allegations and passed."

As you know ... Busfield is 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. 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.

Kendall Jenner's sprawling new mansion in an exclusive celebrity enclave looks like it was built with one thing in mind ... horseback riding.

The model and reality TV star owns this $23 million property in Montecito, California, about 90 miles northwest of L.A. ... and the estate sits next door to Oprah Winfrey's home -- but that's not even the interesting part.

Kendall's love of horses and equestrian is the main draw here ... the place is decked out with horse stables, plus riding and training facilities for show jumping ... and you can see it all from the aerial photos and videos we obtained.

Figure skater Maxim Naumov's tribute to his parents during the U.S. Figure Skating Championship was deeply emotional ... and the 24-year-old spoke about the tear-jerking moment on Wednesday -- saying he wishes they were by his side as the judges read his final scores.

Naumov met with the media at The Skating Club of Boston after being named to the U.S. Olympic team over the weekend ... and spoke on honoring his parents as he pursued his goals of reaching the most prestigious stage in sports.

Maxim's parents, Vadim Naumov and Evgenia Shishkova, were tragically killed when their American Airlines flight collided with a military aircraft over the Potomac River while on approach to Ronald Reagan International Airport ... an incident that took the lives of 14 members of the U.S. skating community.

Now that Maxim is bound for Italy for the Winter Olympics ... what are his thoughts as he gears up to represent his country after everything he endured over the past year?

Kysre Gondrezick's return to the basketball court has hit a major snag -- the former WNBA guard tore her Achilles during training for her Athletes Unlimited season.

TMZ Sports has learned ... Gondrezick suffered the season-ending injury on Sunday during her workout at the University of Miami. We obtained some footage of her practice, which showed her draining jumpers before the injury.

We're told Kysre -- who recently posed nude for Playboy -- will need surgery to mend the ailment ... and a procedure is slated for later this week.

Donald Trump turned into Donald Grump during a Tuesday appearance at a Ford plant ... launching into an F-bomb attack on a worker who appeared to yell "pedophile protector" at the Prez.

47 toured the Ford F-150 plant at the Detroit Economic Club before giving a speech ... while walking the factory floor on his tour, someone began shouting at Trump. It's hard to make out the full sentence shouted at Trump, but it seems to have included the words "pedophile protector."

The angry worker is obviously referencing Trump's association with late convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein ... and the Dept. of Justice's slow release of the infamous Epstein Files.

When asked, "Who has the most unhinged eating habits?" RFK Jr. knew immediately ... "The president."

According to RFK Jr. ... "He eats really bad food, which is McDonald's and candy and Diet Coke. He drinks the Diet Coke at all times. He has the constitution of a deity."

Timothy Busfield surrendered to law enforcement on child sex abuse charges Tuesday ... and now we're learning new details about the U.S. Marshals' search to nab him, including a raid on his New York property.

Turns out the "West Wing" actor gave himself up just in time yesterday in New Mexico, because the feds were hot on his trail ... busting through the door of his home in upstate New York.

A rep for the U.S. Marshals tells TMZ ... Marshals were searching for Busfield and drove by his New York state address, hoping to catch him there.

Believing he was in the home, Marshals entered and searched for him, but came up empty, according to the rep.

Lil Wayne is waving the white flag to call a truce with Chicago Bears QB Caleb Williams ... while eating a little crow in the process.

"Sinners" writer and director Ryan Coogler turned a night of celebration into heavy reflection ... getting visibly choked up as he called attention to the killing of Renee Nicole Good on a Minneapolis street by an ICE agent last week.

During the National Board of Review Awards gala in NYC Tuesday night, Ryan -- accepting his win for Best Original Screenplay -- didn’t mince words. He explained he was distracted, as his heart wasn’t in New York at all ... it was in Minnesota, where tensions have exploded since Renee was shot and killed last Wednesday.

A pair of GoFundMe campaigns for TJ Sabula have collectively received more than $350,000 for the suspended Ford worker ... all within 24 hours of him calling President Donald Trump a "pedophile protector" to Trump's face.

FYI ... TJ hurled the insult at 47 during the president's visit to a Ford manufacturing plant in Michigan on Tuesday ... and POTUS responded with a concise "f*** you" and flipped off Sabula.

TJ later said he doesn't have any regrets about it, although he is concerned about his future job prospects, as Ford suspended him without pay.

This is where the GoFundMe campaigns come in ... one campaign's organizer -- who described herself as a "longtime personal friend" of TJ's family -- set a goal of $10,000 for her campaign ... which has since received more than $100,000 in donations.

That campaign's funds will apparently go directly to help TJ and his family cover expenses in the aftermath.

The other GoFundMe campaign was organized with a loftier goal of $250,000 ... and it's since raised more than $270,000 for the suspended worker.
