Danny Masterson Gives Full Custody of Daughter to Estranged Wife While Serving Prison Sentence
Masterson's approval for custody follows a divorce filing from Bijou Phillips citing "irreconcilable differences" after he was sentenced to a 30-year prison term for two counts of forcible rape.
- Danny Masterson, convicted of two counts of forcible rape and serving a 30-year sentence, has agreed to give full custody of their 9-year-old daughter, Fianna, to his estranged wife, Bijou Phillips.
- Court documents reveal Masterson is requesting visitation rights, which, if granted, would be supervised and conducted at the prison.
- Despite standing by Masterson throughout the trial and reaffirming her belief in his innocence, Phillips filed for divorce citing irreconcilable differences almost two weeks after his sentencing.
- The former couple, who married in October 2011, list their separation date as September 15, just a week post Masterson's sentencing.
- In addition to custody, Phillips is also seeking spousal support and the denial of any financial support for Masterson. She is also reported to be seeking a return to her legal name, Bijou Phillips.
