In August 2022, while a guest at the Monster-Mania Con in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, Gary Busey was charged with a series of sex offenses. It was alleged that during the convention, the actor inappropriately touched three women who were in attendance. Court documents obtained by CNN revealed that Busey allegedly asked the police if they could get the victims to drop the charges.
When TMZ caught up with Busey at a gas station about a week after the story was made public, he denied the accusations. “It was a partner, a camera lady and me, and two girls … it took less than 10 seconds and they left,” he told the outlet. “Then they made up a story that I assaulted them sexually and I did not. Nothing happened, it’s all false.” No further reporting has been done about the 2022 charges, though the incident hasn’t stopped him from inappropriate public behavior.
He was spotted with his pants down in public later in August 2022. Busey’s rep told Page Six at the time that he probably needed to go to the bathroom, and that’s why he was seated without pants. Then, in January 2024, Busey, in full view of paparazzi cameras, pulled down his pants and peed in front of them.
