Bijou Phillips Files to Remove Danny Masterson From Daughter's Name After Rape Conviction

Bijou Phillips has formally filed to change the last name of her 11-year-old daughter from Fianna Francis Masterson to Fianna Francis Phillips, seeking to remove any association with her estranged husband, actor Danny Masterson, who is incarcerated after being convicted of two counts of forcible rape in 2023. The filing awaits judicial approval and comes shortly after Phillips filed for divorce from Masterson, ending their nearly 12-year marriage. Despite initially standing by Masterson throughout his trial and retrial, Phillips has since distanced herself, prioritizing her daughter's well-being and opting to cut ties legally. Masterson maintains his innocence but is serving a 30 years to life sentence at North Kern State Prison in California. Phillips has moved on personally and is currently in a relationship with businessman Jamie Mazur. This name change marks a significant step in Phillips’ efforts to protect her daughter and herself from the fallout of Masterson’s conviction.
