Danny Masterson’s wife, Bijou Phillips, is reportedly “a shell” of her former self in the wake of the actor’s rape sentencing.
“Bijou is circling the drain and is filled with all the emotion and no emotion at all,” a source told the Daily Mail Thursday.
“They had their life, and it has been completely uprooted and changed,” the insider continued. “And change is as scary and miserable as one would imagine.”
The “That ’70s Show” star, 47, was sentenced to 30 years to life in prison earlier Thursday for two rapes he committed in 2003, with the source claiming Phillips’ friends are having a “tough” time “trying to be there for her.”
The model, 43, is reportedly “trying to be strong” for the couple’s 9-year-old daughter, Fianna.
“She is trying to figure out life and what it will be like for her,” the source added. “It can only be compared to a divorce or a death for her not being able to be with Danny the way they were.”
Phillips, who married the “Ranch” alum in October 2011 in Ireland, was present at Masterson’s court date, with Variety reporting that he blew her a kiss inside the courtroom after receiving the maximum possible sentence.
In photographs snapped on the actress’ way out of Clara Shortridge Foltz Criminal Justice Center, she appeared downcast and kept a low profile in black sunglasses.
Masterson was charged in June 2020 with forcibly raping three women between 2001 and 2003, and he pleaded not guilty in January of the following year.

Amid reports Leah Remini was present at the sentencing, the ex-Scientologist reacted via Twitter.
“I am relieved that this dangerous rapist will be off the streets and unable to violently assault and rape women with the help of Scientology,” the “King of Queens” alum, who left the Church of Scientology in 2013, wrote. “The [survivors’] tenacity, strength and courage have given hope to all victims of Scientology that justice is possible.”
Masterson grew up in the organization. His victims were reportedly members of the church who have since left.
In a 2019 civil suit, the women alleged that they were pressured by the church not to go to authorities with their accusations, which Scientology has denied.
