BIJOU PHILLIPS - Making Her Own Way

On Sept. 7, a judge at the Los Angeles Superior Court sentenced That ’70s Show actor Danny Masterson to 30 years to life in prison for raping two women. According to reports, his wife, Bijou Phillips, sobbed in the courtroom as members of Masterson’s family comforted her. In a court sketch of the proceedings, Masterson was seen blowing a kiss to Phillips before he was led away to prison.

Eleven days later, Phillips filed for divorce from Masterson, citing “irreconcilable differences.” According to multiple sources, the actress, 43, who shares daughter Fianna, 9, with Masterson, 47, felt she had no choice but to leave the disgraced star and was motivated to pull the plug on their nearly 12-year marriage over financial concerns. “This experience has been devastating and humiliating for Bijou,” says one source. “She’s focused on being a mom and preserving her future no matter what.”

LOOKING AHEAD 

Phillips stood by Masterson when he was accused of sexual misconduct in 2017 (he was fired from the Netflix sitcom The Ranch soon after) and again when he was officially charged with the rape of three women between 2001 and 2003. Masterson pled not guilty and has consistently denied wrongdoing. His lawyer has stated they will appeal the case.
