Danny Masterson's wife Bijou Phillips is reportedly having a 'very difficult' time since her husband's rape conviction but does not have plans to split from the actor.
"Danny and I have been together for 19 years. We married in 2011 and our beautiful daughter was born in 2014. She is the bright spot throughout many years of crises and uncertainty," Phillips wrote."I can say that Danny has literally been a life-saving partner to me."noted that their daughter, Fianna, was"our miracle child" and recalled how Masterson would"read her books, take her on walks and to ballet lessons. I never once heard him complain.
Masterson's legal team noted after sentencing that the 47-year-old plans to appeal the court's decision due to"substantial" errors found during the trial."For the past several months, a team of the top appellate lawyers in the country has been reviewing transcripts of the trial.
"The errors that occurred in this case are substantial and, unfortunately, led to verdicts that were not supported by the evidence. And though we have great respect for the jury in this case and for our system of justice overall, sometimes they get it wrong. And that's what happened here. "Mr. Masterson did not commit the crimes for which he has been convicted and we, and the appellate lawyers, the best and the brightest in the country, are confident that these convictions will be overturned."Masterson initially faced up to 45 years in prison if found guilty on three counts of rape by force or fear for alleged sexual assaults that occurred between 2001 and 2003 at his Hollywood Hills home.
He was arrested in June 2020 and had been free on $3.3 million bond. He pleaded not guilty to the charges and has maintained his innocence.Stephanie Giang-Paunon is an Entertainment Writer for Fox News Digital. Story tips can be sent to [email protected] and on Twitter: @SGiangPaunon.
