Bijou Phillips<\/a> insists she is doing well amid Danny Masterson’s jail time.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Bijou Phillips gave a rare update on her life amid the difficult time<\/p>\n
The ‘Almost Famous’ actress filed for divorce from the former ‘That ’70s Show’ star after he was sentenced last September to 30 years to life behind bars after being found guilty of raping two women 20 years ago.<\/p>\n
As well as going through her divorce, Bijou recently left the Church of Scientology. <\/p>\n
And giving a rare update on her life to E! News at the Janie’s Fund Grammys Viewing Party on Sunday (04.02.24), she said: “I’m doing good.”<\/p>\n
Bijou added that she and the pair’s daughter, Fianna, nine, are a “great little team.”<\/p>\n
\nDespite their divorce, the 43-year-old star gave a character statement for Masterson and said he’s still in touch with their little girl every night.<\/p>\n
\nShe said: “Danny is an amazing father.<\/p>\n
\n“Our daughter and I are heartbroken that he is not home with us. It has been very difficult without him here. Even though he is now in jail, he calls her every day. He helps her with homework every night.”<\/p>\n
\nLast week, Masterson moved to the maximum-security prison that once housed notorious cult leader Charles Manson.<\/p>\n
\nHe was transferred from North Kern State Prison to Corcoran State Prison in California on January 29.<\/p>\n
\nSources told Deadline the 47-year-old actor is being held at the men-only jail’s highest security level unit partly for his own protection. <\/p>\n
\nHis online file states he will be unable to seek parole until 2042, subject to staying out of trouble.<\/p>\n
\nIt reads: \u201cParole eligible dates may also change based on a variety of other reasons, including court orders, changes in law, and routine audits.”<\/p>\n
\nThe prison – which also previously housed Sirhan Sirhan, Robert F. Kennedy’s killer – is currently over capacity with 3,700 inmates, 42 of whom are on death row, and includes a Protective Housing Unit which accommodates 47 men who require \u201cextraordinary protection from other prisoners.\u201d <\/p>\n
\nThe week prior, Masterson was denied bail when he appealed his case over concerns he had “every incentive to flee”.<\/p>\n
\nLos Angeles Superior Court judge Charlaine F. Olmedo wrote: \u201cIf the defendant\u2019s conviction and sentence are upheld on appeal, he will likely remain in custody for decades and perhaps the rest of his life.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cIn light of the fact that the defendant has no wife to go home to, the defendant now has every incentive to flee and little reason to return to state prison to serve out the remainder of his lengthy sentence should his appeal be unsuccessful.”<\/p>\n
\nHis attorneys had said: “Defendant requests that this Court grant bail on appeal, and offers to comply with any relevant terms and conditions imposed by the Court that enable him to be an at-home parent and financial provider for his family, including house arrest and\/or participation in an electronic monitoring program administered by the probation department.”<\/p>\n
\nThey argued that he possessed a “lack of dangerousness” and wouldn’t be a flight risk, claiming they now had “extensive exculpatory evidence that was not presented to the jury.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
