Even though convicted rapist Danny Masterson<\/strong><\/a>\u2018s estranged wife Bijou Phillips<\/strong><\/a> has already filed for divorce<\/a>, she will no longer be able to have any contact with him of any kind, as he has been expelled from the Church of Scientology<\/a> and declared a \u201csuppressive person\u201d \u2013 or \u201cSP,\u201d the Daily Mail<\/em> reports.<\/p>\n Bijou, 43, is still a member of the church and according to its website, \u201cFor the good of the Church and the individuals in it, such a person is officially labeled a Suppressive Person so that others will know not to associate with them.\u201d<\/p>\n The page goes on to explain, \u201cTo be declared a Suppressive Person is extremely rare and results in expulsion from the Scientology religion. This occurs in instances of serious offenses against the Scientology faith and can also occur when an individual is found to be actively working to suppress the well-being of others. This can be done through criminal acts already recognized by society as unlawful.\u201d<\/p>\n Danny, 47, was found guilty by a Los Angeles jury on two out of three counts of rape on May 31, following\u00a0 a retrial from his 2022 case that ended in a hung jury. The That \u201970s Show<\/em> alum was taken into custody and held until his September 7 sentencing hearing, where a judge ordered him to spend 30 years in prison.<\/p>\n Bijou filed for divorce<\/a> in Santa Barbara County on September 18, citing \u201cirreconcilable differences.\u201d She is seeking spousal support and legal fees according to the filing. The model also asked for sole custody of the former couple\u2019s only child, Fianna Francis Masterson, 9, which was granted to her on October 23. The actor, meanwhile, requested visitation rights.<\/p>\n \u201cMs. Phillips has decided to file for divorce from her husband during this unfortunate time. Her priority remains with her daughter,\u201d her attorney Peter A. Lauzon said in a statement. \u201cThis period has been unimaginably hard on the marriage and the family. \u2026 Ms. Phillips acknowledges that Mr. Masterson is a wonderful father to their daughter. She hopes that everyone will respect her family\u2019s privacy in these difficult times.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThis has been a difficult and painful decision to make, but Bijou feels it\u2019s for the best that she ends things with Danny and moves on with her life,\u201d an insider\u00a0exclusively<\/a> dished to Life & Style<\/em>, adding that Bijou broke the news to The Ranch<\/em> alum over the phone.<\/p>\n \u201cOf course, he\u2019s upset. He never saw it coming<\/a>. Bijou was just talking to his lawyers about the appeal. Now she\u2019s done this,\u201d the source continued.<\/p>\n \u201cThere wasn\u2019t a prenup, and Bijou has no income right now. She hasn\u2019t acted or modeled in years,\u201d said the insider. \u201cThere\u2019s a chance it\u2019s going to get ugly if Danny resists giving her what she wants.\u201d Despite the former actor\u2019s $8 million net worth<\/a>, he\u2019s facing a civil suit by his victims which Bijou fears \u201ccould clean Danny out.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
