Danny Masterson’s wife looked shattered as she left a California courthouse where her “That’s ’70s Show” star hubby had just blown her a final kiss goodbye as he was taken into custody to serve a 30-year prison sentence for two rapes.
Bijou Phillips, 43, hid behind large dark sunglasses and appeared emotional as she passed photographers on the sidewalk outside following the sentencing.
The blown kiss between the couple captured by a courtroom sketch artist was the only time he showed emotion during his sentencing hearing.
Masterson, 47, remained stonefaced as Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Charlaine Olmedo handed down the maximum sentence and as his two victims described the trauma they had experienced at his hands.
“When you raped me, you stole from me,” one of the women testified in court, looking directly at the actor. “That’s what rape is, a theft of the spirit.”
“You are pathetic, disturbed and completely violent,” she added. “The world is better off with you in prison.”
Masterson drugged and violently raped both women in his Hollywood-area home in 2003, at the height of his celebrity. He was found guilty of the rapes in May and was sentenced Thursday to back-to-back 15-year terms in prison, which will be served consecutively.
The actor and Scientology member has maintained his innocence throughout the trial and his attorneys plan to file an appeal.
The other woman said Masterson “has not shown an ounce of remorse for the pain he caused” and said he belonged behind bars for the safety of all women.
As the women spoke directly to their rapist, he showed no visible reaction to their scathy testimonies. He waived his right to speak before his sentencing and did not testify during his trial.
Phillips was less able to maintain her composure. She grew tearful at one point as she hid behind her big sunglasses.
The couple, married since 2011, share a 9-year-old daughter and Masterson’s lawyer said his life and his daughters will be impacted by the judge’s decision.
“It’s his life that will be impacted by what you decide today,” Shawn Holley told the judge before the sentencing. “And the life of his 9-year-old daughter, who means the world to him, and to whom he means the world.”
However, both victims said their lives were forever impacted by Masterson’s violent rapes.
One of the women was born into the Church of Scientology and said she lost everything when she decided to report the Hollywood star she claimed the church sought to protect over all else.
“I lost everything. I lost my religion. I lost my ability to contact anyone I’d known or loved my entire life,” she said. “I didn’t exist outside the Scientology world. I had to start my life all over at 29. It seemed the world I knew didn’t want me to live.”
