Bijou Phillips Files to Remove Masterson From Daughter’s Last Name

The move underscores her post‑conviction break from Danny Masterson, who is serving a 30‑years‑to‑life sentence.

Overview

  • Phillips filed on Oct. 24 to change 11-year-old Fianna’s surname from Masterson to Phillips, according to court documents.
  • A judge has not yet approved the name change request, leaving the petition pending.
  • Court records also reflect that Phillips and Masterson were declared legally single on Friday.
  • Phillips sought divorce shortly after Masterson’s 2023 sentencing and now holds full legal and physical custody, with Masterson seeking visitation.
  • Masterson remains incarcerated at North Kern State Prison and is pursuing an appeal filed in December 2024.
