Months ago, when Danny Masterson was convicted of two counts of rape, sources insisted that his wife Bijou Phillips had no plans to leave him, and that she still supported him completely. Then Masterson was sentenced to 30 years in prison at his sentencing hearing two weeks ago. Once again, ?sources? were trotted out, swearing up and down to People Magazine that Bijou loves Masterson and ?has no plans to file for divorce.? Sh-t got real with the sentencing, that much is clear, but I didn?t expect the turnaround this quickly Bijou has filed for divorce.
Bijou Phillips has made the decision to end her marriage with Danny Masterson, less than two weeks after he got 30 years to life for rape.
According to legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Bijou filed to end things Monday in a California court. Her attorney, Peter A. Lauzon, tells TMZ, Ms. Phillips has decided to file for divorce from her husband during this unfortunate time. Her priority remains with her daughter.
He continues, This period has been unimaginably hard on the marriage and the family. Mr. Masterson was always present for Ms. Phillips during her most difficult times of her life. Ms. Phillips acknowledges that Mr. Masterson is a wonderful father to their daughter.
Bijou stood by Masterson throughout his rape trial and re-trial even accompanying him at his sentencing hearing.
Bijou Phillips lists the estranged couples date of separation as TBD in the legal docs, and says it was irreconcilable differences that led to the end of their marriage. She asks for spousal support, attorneys fees and that her legal name be restored to Bijou Phillips.

The elephant in the room which even TMZ does not want to address is Scientology and what CoS will do to Bijou now that she?s seeking a divorce. Like, it?s abundantly clear that CoS was ?protecting? Masterson even as he drugged and raped other Scientologists, not to mention drugging and raping women outside of CoS. They were still protecting him when his victims went to the LAPD and LA County DA?s office and charges were brought. Now that he?s going to prison, is CoS cutting their ties with him? I doubt it. Bijou needs to be so careful here.

Just days after Danny Masterson was convicted of two counts of rape, People Magazine had a curious exclusive about Masterson?s wife, Bijou Phillips. Sources close to Bijou said that she was devastated over his conviction but she had no plans to leave him. Crash cut to this month Masterson was just sentenced to thirty years in prison for drugging and raping women. Bijou was in the courtroom for the verdict and for his sentencing hearing. Reportedly, Masterson showed little emotion (because he?s a psycho) but Bijou was sobbing during his sentencing. So, months later, is she hiring a divorce lawyer? Nope.
Bijou Phillips is ?distraught? after her husband Danny Masterson was sentenced to 30 years in prison in his rape case last week, a source tells PEOPLE.
?She has had a very difficult time since the conviction,? the insider says. ?She loves Danny and has no plans to file for divorce. She will be by his side for it all.?
The source shares that Phillips, 43, is ?surrounded by family and friends? amid her husband?s legal troubles, adding, ?She is in touch with his lawyer. They are planning appeals. She tries to stay hopeful.?
Masterson?s defense attorney Shawn Holley did not immediately return to PEOPLE?s request for comment.
Phillips was in the courtroom ? alongside members of Masterson?s family ? for the sentencing on Thursday, according to Variety. The actor was seen blowing a kiss to his wife before being led away to prison in a court sketch. During the sentencing, two women he was convicted of raping gave victim impact statements and the Judge Charlaine Olmedo told Masterson, Mr. Masterson, you are not the victim here. Your actions 20 years ago took away another person?s voice and choice. Your actions 20 years ago were criminal, and that is why you are here, according to the outlet.

Yeah, this is a Scientology thing I?m sure Bijou is being surrounded by ?family and friends,? and all of them are Scientologists. Even if she waivered and considered divorcing Masterson and starting over as a divorcee, CoS probably wouldn?t let her. Their support is conditional, and the condition is that she stick with Masterson through a thirty-year prison sentence. As Leah Remini pointed out in her statement following Masterson?s sentencing, a few of Masterson?s victims were Scientologists too, yet CoS protected the rapist and not the victim. CoS threatened and harassed Masterson?s victims, what do you think they?d to Masterson?s wife if she ever tried to escape the marriage or this situation?

Last week, a jury convicted Danny Masterson of two counts of rape. This was the verdict in a retrial, after the first case ended in mistrial last fall. In both of the trials, last year and this year, Danny Masterson?s wife Bijou Phillips was by his side. She came to court with him and sat near him and she wasn?t hiding away. She publicly supported him, even as she heard his victims recount the details of how he raped them, abused them and hurt them. Now sources claim that Bijou is devastated that her husband was convicted.
Bijou Phillips was ?shocked and devastated? by husband Danny Masterson?s conviction last Wednesday on two counts of rape, a source close to the actress tells PEOPLE. Phillips, 43, has been married to Masterson, 47, since 2011. The That 70s Show actor was convicted of two counts of rape last week by a jury in the Los Angeles Superior Court.
?She wasn?t prepared for the verdict,? the source says. ?She never expected him to be found guilty. She couldn?t believe that he was taken into custody right away and remanded.?
The source adds that Phillips ?is terrified about the sentencing.?
Masterson was handcuffed and immediately sent to jail following his conviction. He will be remanded until his next hearing on Aug. 4, per the Los Angeles Times. He faces 30 years to life in prison. According to the Associated Press, Masterson will be held without bail until he is sentenced. He faces 30 years to life in prison.
?No matter what happens though, Bijou supports him,? the source says. ?She has no plans to leave him.?
A representative for Phillips did not respond to PEOPLE?s request for comment. A representative for Masterson could not be reached.

I?ll never understand that ?ride or die? energy from women when their husbands/partners are convicted of crimes against women. Bijou is a Scientologist, just like her husband, and she?s also got a deep hatred of psychiatry. Which is too bad, because this woman needs some fking therapy. Anyway, I hope Masterson is sentenced to thirty years in prison and if Bijou wants to stay married to him for the length of his prison sentence, so be it. My only hope is that no one will write sympathetic poor Bijou stories about her. Fk her and her husband.

Yesterday, we discussed Daniel Franzese?s Facebook post about Bijou Phillips. Daniel is an actor who has been working for two decades, and he appeared in Bully with Bijou. He claims that when they were filming (circa 2000), Bijou was a homophobic bully and general a–hole who constantly made fun of him and even kicked him in the head one time. Well, Daniel posted his story over the weekend, and to her credit, Bijou responded pretty quickly. She apparently reached out to Daniel privately and she also dropped an email to TMZ to issue a public apology:
Bijou tells TMZ, “I want to write to address what Daniel has said. I don’t remember that time well, those years are a blur. I was a teenager and reckless in my behavior. I know Daniel to be a trustworthy and honest person, and to find out through social media that I was not the friend I thought I was to him made me so sad.”
Bijou goes on … “I am so mortified by this behavior and have contacted Daniel and apologized to him privately. I am not and never have been homophobic. I have nothing but love for the LGBTQ community and Daniel.”
[From TMZ]
The thing is, I would be willing to believe that Bijou was probably heavily into drugs at that point in her life, and that could be affecting her memories of that time. I like that she says that she trusts Daniel?s memory and his version of events, rather than trying to deny or negate his story. That being said, the bar is set so low. ?I am not and never have been homophobic.? Girl, you clearly were.
Anyway, Daniel has accepted her apology and he made a statement on Twitter, writing:
Thread: I forgive @BijouPhillips because I don?t know her private story either. I shared this story only to bring light to a dark memory. It was 18 years ago. She has sent me an apology I accept. It would be nice to see her make a donation to @TrevorProject or something. This is not the only tale of horror or horrible people I have been around in the film industry.
I?m not a perfect person by any means but I always try to treat people with respect. Especially as an adult. Hopefully we can move forward into a future where film sets are a more professional environment. The movie BULLY in particular was a volatile set. Brad Renfro was arrested for stealing a boat the day before we started shooting the film. 18 years ago is a long time and I?d like to think she has found peace in her life. I certainly have. These experiences shape us. These days my belly sees the sun at the beach and I can honestly say (especially now that it?s been heard) I see the sun too. We?ve all been hurt and we?ve all hurt someone. I accept your apology on the grace you can afford the same mercy to someone else one day.
[From Daniel?s Twitter]
That?s a lovely sentiment – it must be a nice moment for him to get closure on at one thing in his past which has always bugged him, and like so many victims, his forgiveness is more for his own peace of mind than Bijou?s. Does this mean that all is truly forgiven? Probably not. But he?s moving on. Good for him.

It’s no secret that the Phillips family is in turmoil following the publishing of Mackenzie Phillips’ “High on Arrival,” and it looks like sister Bijou Phillips has been through the ringer.
The singer/actress was spotted at a Los Angeles equestrian center yesterday looking pretty rough as she finished out her horseback riding session.
In a recent interview, Bijou revealed that she was aware that her half-sister was having a consensual sexual relationship with their father. She says she was 13-years-old when Mackenzie told her about it.
In a statement read by Oprah Winfrey on her talk show, Bijou said the news was confusing and scary, and that she found it “heartbreaking” to think that her family would leave her alone with her father.

In an episode of "The Oprah Winfrey Show" airing on Friday afternoon (September 25), Bijou Phillips responded to her half-sister Mackenzie's allegation that she had a decade-long incestuous relationship with their father, John Phillips of the Mamas and the Papas, according to a report from The Associated Press.
In statement read by Winfrey on the show, Bijou said she was 13 when Mackenzie first told her about the relationship. Bijou, now 29, said she was angered by the revelation.
Mackenzie returned to "Oprah" on Friday, following her Wednesday interview with the talk show host, during which she said her father raped her and gave her drugs when she was 18.
Bijou also gave a statement to Us Weekly. "Mackenzie's history with our father is hers, but also clouded with 30 years of drug abuse. ... I hope she can come to terms with this and find peace," the actress said. "The life I had with my father was very different. He was Mr. Mom, encouraging and loving. The man that raised me would never be capable of doing such things, and if he was, it is heartbreaking to me to think that my family would leave me alone with him.
"I understand Mackenzie's need to come clean with a history she feels will help others, but it's devastating to have the world watch as we try and mend broken fences, especially when the man in question isn't here to defend himself," the statement continued.
Genevieve Waite Phillips, who was married to John when the abuse allegedly occurred, disputed the Mackenzie's account in a statement on Wednesday's episode of "Oprah." "John was a good man, who had the disease of alcoholism and drug addiction," the statement said. "He was incapable, no matter how drunk or drugged he was, of having such a relationship with his own child."

Bijou Phillips is engaged to Danny Masterson (That 70’s Show). Although, you wouldn’t have known it if you were at Ecco Ultra Lounge last Saturday. Phillips was dancing to some mix by Carmen Electra’s DJ fiance when she started grinding some blonde girl.
“It wasn?t long before they took things further,” said our source. “Eventually Bijou grabbed the girl and they started making out and getting it on ? Danny (Masterson) was nowhere to be seen.”
Somehow, I don’t think Danny Masterson is going to mind this. If my girlfriend started making out with hot chicks by the DJ booth, I’d start to clap slowly like they do in the movies and hopefully in a few short seconds, the whole club would erupt with thunderous applause. I imagine other guys would be patting me on the back and popping open bottles of champagne in my honor.

Bijou Phillips wants you to just get over your depression. And your sadness. And your anxiety. Just tell it to go away, push it out, dance it out, whatever. But don?t you dare act like you?re depressed, or like you just might need the help of a psychiatrist or some medication. In fact, her educated advice is to just, ?get over it.? Thanks doctor. Bijou is a Scientologist, which means she doesn’t believe in psychiatrists or psychiatric medication. In fact they don’t just “not believe” in it, they’ve waged an all-out war on the evils of psychiatry. Unfortunately for her, it sounds like Bijou could use a little of it herself.
Scientologist model Bijou Phillips went off on a tangent about the dangers of psychiatrists medicating depression during a recent interview with Paper Magazine.
“My grandparents didn’t take any pills, and they were fine,” Phillips said in the February issue of Paper. “Just buck up and get over it. Stop being such a f—king pansy.”
The budding actress frequents Scientology-sponsored events and spoke out against psychiatry and prescribing patients with medication for such mental illnesses as depression or anxiety.
Phillips, 28, lived alone in New York City after legally emancipating herself from her parents — her father, John Phillips, was in the Mamas and the Papas — when she was 14 years old. After several years on her own, she went to rehab.

Bijou was going off in the Paper magazine article, which was an interview with her and equally Scientologist-y (a word I just made up) longterm boyfriend Danny Masterson. Phillips is not necessarily a model of mental health herself. Filmmaker James Toback had a few interesting things to say about the model/actress, who sounds like she?s all kinds of crazy. Luckily for him, Toback seems to have enjoyed her loose mental health. He called her a ?genuine psychopath,? and said she didn?t understand the line between thinking and saying things.
Bijou Phillips — you never knew what the fuck she would say or do next. There is no line between her unconscious and her articulation of it and her behavior. She is a genuine psychopath. I say that with affection and admiration, because she’s also incredibly smart and talented, so she knows how to amuse and how to get and hold attention. If she were just a psychopath, you wouldn’t want to use her; you’d just be bored. But she is always kind of amusing and interesting, and if one thing isn’t working she has a good sense of it, and she just starts on something else.
[From Salon.com]
I really get annoyed with anyone who tells someone else how they should deal with their emotions. Especially in Phillips? case, when she?s essentially saying that she has a better way of dealing with things than everyone else. It shows how limited her understanding of complex emotions really is. Perhaps she was able to just get over things, but maybe that means things just don?t affect her as deeply as they do others. Perhaps the answer is empathy instead of cold judgment.
Here?s Bijou with boyfriend Danny Masterson at the “Choke” New York screening on September 24th. Images thanks to Bauer-Griffin.
