Bijou Phillips, the wife of Danny Masterson, has filed for divorce following the “That '70s Show” actor’s sentencing of 30 years to life after he was convicted of raping two women, Phillips’ lawyer confirmed to CBS News.

“Ms. Phillips has decided to file for divorce from her husband at this unfortunate time,” attorney Peter Lauzon said in a statement. “Her priority remains with her daughter. This period has been unimaginably hard on the marriage and the family.”

Phillips, also an actor, is known for her roles in movies like “Almost Famous” and “Bully.” She and Masterson married in 2011 and they have one daughter. The two appeared together in several films, including “The Bridge to Nowhere” and “Wake.”

    NOW she wants a divorce? So she’s been cool with it, but the conviction was just too much to continue to bear.

        She assumed that he was innocent until he was proven guilty. Crazy concept, right? I mean, not really, but sometimes it seems that it’s some arcane knowledge or something and not a core principle of the country.

            About what is going through her mind? Sure. I don’t know the lady, nor does anyone else in this thread. Just like how nobody knows anything about the case. Frankly, his wife’s motivation has nothing to do with my point.

          That is a reasonable bar for a judicial system, but not for relationships.

          Would you let your sister date OJ?

          I wouldn’t.

      Yeah…… the timing seems suspect at best… seems like she stuck around to help maintain the best image during the trial but now that he’s busted she’s out.
