That ’70s Show alum Danny Masterson is wallowing in despair behind bars as the convicted rapist’s ex-wife, Bijou Phillips, has coldly cut him from her life — and seeks to scrub his tainted name from their child — and now there are growing concerns that the sex creep may try to take his own life, sources say.
Former model Bijou, 45, filed for divorce after 12 years of marriage in 2023 days after Masterson, 49, was slapped with a 30-year sentence for violating two women in the early 2000s, and a judge recently restored the former couple to the status of single persons.
Now, Bijou has reportedly filed court documents to change the name of their 11-year-old daughter from Fianna Francis Masterson to Fianna Francis Phillips, per TMZ.

The news has sent the former Hollywood hotshot spiraling, according to sources, who also spill that he’s a marked man as fellow inmates target him for pain and punishment.
“Danny was totally blindsided by this filing. He never thought Bijou would be so ruthless to wash her hands of him like this,” an insider exclusively shares. “He was already in a very dark place and struggling with life on the inside.”
“Now there’s talk that he’s so down and depressed he may wind up doing something radical and try to end it all. He has so little if anything to live for right now, and this latest setback appears to be taking him over the edge.”
Masterson — who once boasted an estimated fortune of $8 million — has seen his net worth plunge due to legal bills, and he’s been shunned by many celeb pals following his conviction, sources say.
The disgraced actor is still appealing his conviction and desperately hoping to string together a case for freedom.

Meanwhile, Bijou — whose late parents are the Mamas & the Papas singer John Phillips and model-actress Genevieve Waite — has moved on romantically with entrepreneur Jamie Mazur.
Adds an insider, “Danny was already struggling with the idea of her being with someone else, but now this filing to erase him from his daughter’s life is an even bigger hammer blow.”
“His life has turned into a living hell, so it’s no real surprise he’s losing the will to live.”
