Actress Bijou Phillips has filed for divorce from “That 70s Show” star <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/celebrities" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Danny Masterson</a> — just under two weeks after her husband of 11 years was sentenced to prison for <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/rape" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rape</a>.
The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/entertainment" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pair</a> wed in 2011 and share a 9-year-old daughter together. Phillips had been publicly supportive of Masterson up until now, and even pleaded the judge for leniency in sentencing due to his obligations at home.
The divorce filing cites “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the divorce. The 43-year-old mom of one is also seeking spousal support.
&#8220;Ms. Phillips has decided to file for divorce from her husband during this unfortunate time. Her priority remains with her daughter,&#8221; Phillips&#8217; attorney Peter A. Lauzon said in a statement, per <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/danny-masterson-wife-bijou-phillips-divorce-rape-conviction-rcna105920" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBC News</a>. &#8220;This period has been unimaginably hard on the marriage and the family. &#8230; Ms. Phillips acknowledges that Mr. Masterson is a wonderful father to their daughter. She hopes that everyone will respect her family’s privacy in these difficult times.&#8221;
Masterson was found guilty in May of raping two women between 2001 and 2003. He received the maximum sentence of 30 years to life on September 7. The actor will be eligible for parole after 25 years.
Phillips previously wrote a letter petitioning the judge to give Masterson a lighter sentence. “Our daughter and I are heartbroken that he is not home with us,” the letter said, as The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/danny-mastersons-wife-pleaded-for-leniency-after-rape-conviction-we-need-him-more-than-you-can-imagine" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.

“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 continued. “I can say that Danny has literally been a life-saving partner to me.”
“Danny is an amazing father,” the letter went on. “Our daughter and I are heartbroken that he is not home with us. It has been very difficult without him here. Even though he is now in jail, he calls her every day. He helps her with homework every night. He teaches her math with kindness and patience. She is far above grade level in all subjects, reading three grades above her own, and that is thanks to the guidance and attention of her father.”
