Danny Masterson and Bijou Phillips tied the knot in 2011 after meeting at a star-studded poker tournament. The couple welcomed their daughter, Fianna, in 2014, but their happiness was overshadowed by sexual assault allegations against Masterson from multiple women dating back to the early 2000s. This led to his removal from the popular show, The Ranch, on Netflix.
Despite the legal turmoil, Bijou stood by her husband’s side, expressing unwavering support as they navigated the difficult times together. However, Masterson’s troubles escalated when he was arrested and charged with three counts of rape in 2020. He maintained his innocence throughout the legal proceedings.
As a member of the Church of Scientology, Masterson faced a challenging trial that ultimately culminated in a mistrial during November. A retrial in April 2023 saw him being found guilty the following month, resulting in a sentence of 30 years to life in September. Shockingly, Phillips decided to file for divorce less than two weeks after her husband’s sentencing, ending their decade-long marriage.
