“Her priority remains with her daughter. This period has been unimaginably hard on the marriage and the family.”
Phillips filed her petition for divorce Monday in Santa Barbara, The Times confirmed. In a statement shared with multiple outlets, Phillips’ lawyer, Peter A. Lauzon, said the divorce comes “during this unfortunate time.”
“Her priority remains with her daughter. This period has been unimaginably hard on the marriage and the family,” Lauzon said. “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.”
Representatives for Phillips and Masterson did not immediately respond to The Times’ requests for comment Tuesday.Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Charlaine Olmedo handed Masterson his decades-long sentence on Sept. 7, after he was convicted in May. The assaults took place in the early 2000s, when Masterson starred as Steven Hyde on “That ‘70s Show.”
Masterson’s victims said they waited years to come forward because Scientology doctrine forbade them to report a fellow member to police. On Sept, 7, Masterson’s defense team issued a statement maintaining that Masterson is innocent, saying they have “identified a number of significant evidentiary and constitutional issues which they will address in briefs to both state and federal appellate courts.”that the model and actor “loves Danny and has no plans to file for divorce.”Times staff writers Jonah Valdez, Christi Carras and James Queally contributed to this report.
