Danny Masterson’s wife Bijou Phillips has filed for divorce, according to reports.
In court documents obtained by TMZ on 19 September, Phillips reportedly filed for divorce in California on Monday. Her attorney, Lauzon Paluch, told TMZ in a statement: “Ms Phillips has decided to file for divorce from her husband during this unfortunate time. Her priority remains with her daughter.”
“This period has been unimaginably hard on the marriage and the family,” she continued. “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.”
