pre -Appeal! I didn't expect that either.

unreliable source or something changed her mind?

Danny Masterson’s wife Bijou Phillips files for divorce after rape conviction

“Ms. Phillips has decided to file for divorce from her husband during this unfortunate time. Her priority remains with her daughter,” — attorney, Peter A. Lauzon.

could this be about assets ( in view of the civil case to come?)

Yeah it could be just for monetary reasons and that’s it for sure…

I read the article, and find it difficult to reconcile any mother bringing her 9 year old daughter to prison to visit DM. She states that he is a "great father", and she plans on taking their daughter to visit DM in prison.

I wonder if that will change once she goes to visit.
 
<modsnip - quoted post was removed for rumor>

Had to go check on what the civil litigation entails

'Filed in 2019, the lawsuit is not directed at Masterson over the rape allegations that have him facing 45 years to life in a parallel criminal case, but instead was aimed at Masterson and Scientology over the years of harassment the plaintiffs say they have gone through after coming forward with their allegations to the LAPD in 2016.'

BTW back to those pre-sentencing letters. It's almost as if their contents shouldn't have been taken at face value ;)

Does anyone think that the state bringing in "religion" (scientology) will give the appeal legs?

Nova,
"Forever" is a long, long time. Even convicts are allowed to earn a living once they get out of prison.'

Ironic that if so many hadn't been involved in covering-up, arguably, he'd have been caught sooner in the noughties and wouldn't now be serving a life sentence under Calif One Strike ( as well as, arguably, preventing further offences in later years)

So much of DM's 'downfall'- and the fall-out amongst his circles - seem self-inflicted to me.

Oh, absolutely! I wasn't talking about DM, though if he ever gets out, he will have to be allowed to support himself somehow. I have no objection to DM's sentence and if the COS can be punished in some way, even better!

I was thinking of AK and, especially, MK. Ending their careers FOREVER because they felt obliged to write a pro forma letter in support of a longtime friend seems overly harsh to me. (There may be other things for which AK needs to answer, but we can't really talk about it until it is reported by MSM.)

Of course, everybody has the right to spend their entertainment dollars as they prefer. Myself, I rarely watch Woody Allen or Mel Gibson movies any more. But I'm not insisting they be prevented from working.

Ah okay, I got you now.
I haven't actually seen anyone say that AK or MK should terminate their careers but I'll look out for it.

I also don't expect any of the producers involved to feel any further heat despite items such as the link I posted on the previous page. Not expecting any investigation from Netflix either.

If you say you "got" me, I have no doubt you did, my friend. Consider me "gotten"!

Three pages back a poster lumped DM, AK and MK together and said they all deserved to be canceled "forever". It was to that post I was replying. (I disagree in re AK and MK, but of course that poster has a right to a different opinion.)

Sounds like you know better than I just what was reported and when. I don't know what the HuffPo has revealed (or even if it counts as MSM here). I was just trying to be careful: I watch a lot of YouTube and have to remind myself that most videos there are not considered legitimate sources here at WS.

At the moment, your link just takes me back to the previous page.

ETA1: Maybe I should confess I don't know if I will ever be able to enjoy THAT 70's SHOW again. I used to be very much a fan.

ETA2: I just reread our posts and realized you meant "got me" as in you understand my point. I had previously read it as you "one-upped" me and I was happy to take your word for it. In case it isn't obvious, I really like your posts, Cottonwood. I know you and I aren't personal friends in real life.

And Netflix didn't even fire DM until this story at Huffpo came out. He was fired the very next day.

www.huffpost.com

Netflix Exec Tells Woman The Company Doesn’t Believe Actor’s Rape Accusers. Then She Said She Was One.

Police are investigating four women's claims that "The Ranch" star Danny Masterson raped them in the early 2000s.
www.huffpost.com www.huffpost.com

Victim B said she asked Yeatman why Netflix was not taking action against Masterson in light of the district attorney’s investigation and the multiple accusations of rape. According to Victim B and another witness, Yeatman said Netflix takes sexual misconduct allegations seriously but that “we don’t believe them,” referring to Masterson’s four accusers.

Victim B told HuffPost she never expected Yeatman to say such a thing and was left stunned. She said she then told him, “I’m one of them,” indicating she was one of Masterson’s accusers.

The conversation ended quickly.
 
Cottonweaver, I called you "Cottonwood" in a post above. I deeply regret the error.

(I live in a desert where cottonwood trees were planted so travelers could find natural springs to water themselves and their horses.)

I know you were joking, but my lawyer (a close friend) tells me such letters are almost never taken at face value. Judges assume that almost everyone has relatives or friends who will say nice things about him or her.
