Just a few days ago, Danny Masterson was sentenced to 30 years in prison for rape. A judgment that has further consequences: His wife Bijou Philips has now filed divorce papers after twelve years of marriage.
This information comes from documents available to People magazine. Danny Masterson and Bijou Philips have a nine-year-old daughter together, whose custody Philips is applying for and is also demanding maintenance payments. According to the papers, the official reason for the separation would be “irreconcilable differences.”
The “The Roaring Seventies” actor was found guilty a few months ago. At the beginning of September 2023, Danny Masterson’s sentence was determined, after which he was sentenced to 30 years in prison. Danny Masterson’s family and friends were also present at the court hearing, as was his wife Bijou Philips.
According to the verdict, the 47-year-old raped two women in his home in 2003. He himself rejected the allegations as false and stated that the sexual acts were consensual. Masterson and his team plan to appeal.
