TMZ: My Wife’s Got My back…

Fred was out in L.A. yesterday where he was bombarded with questions about his recent lewd conduct arrest — when cops say they found him jerking it in an adult movie theater — but the most interesting part … his wife Mary was present too.

We haven’t really heard a peep from Fred’s wife since TMZ broke the story of the actor’s arrest, but the couple has clearly decided to show a united front.
