Bijou Phillips, wife of actor Danny Masterson, has filed for divorce just days after Masterson was sentenced to 30 years to life in prison for rape. The divorce filing was made on Monday in Santa Barbara Superior Court, with Phillips citing “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the split.
The couple, who has been married since 2011 and shares a 9-year-old child, is now going their separate ways. In the divorce filing, Phillips is seeking spousal support and legal fees.
Ironically, in a letter sent to the judge who sentenced her husband, Phillips described Masterson as a doting father and a “life-saving partner” to her. It remains unclear what led to the sudden decision to file for divorce.
Masterson, best known for his role on “That ’70s Show,” was found guilty in May of raping two women at his Los Angeles home. However, the jury was unable to reach a decision on charges relating to a third woman. Throughout the trial, Masterson maintained his innocence and did not testify.
Despite the sentencing and the divorce filing, an attorney for Masterson declined to comment on the recent developments. It is unclear how this legal battle will unfold, and what impact it may have on Masterson’s ongoing legal battles and appeal process.
As fans and followers of the celebrity couple try to make sense of the situation, it is evident that this scandal has caused a significant strain on their relationship. With both Masterson and Phillips facing difficult times ahead, the future remains uncertain for this once seemingly happy couple.
