Bijou Phillips Seeks Legal Name Change for Daughter Following Danny Masterson Conviction

News summary

Bijou Phillips has legally filed to change her 11-year-old daughter Fianna's surname from Masterson to Phillips following the rape conviction of her ex-husband, Danny Masterson, who was sentenced to 30 years to life in prison in September 2023 for raping two women. Phillips, who supported Masterson throughout his trial, filed for divorce shortly after his sentencing and has now officially regained single status. The decision to remove Masterson's name from their daughter's identity reflects Phillips' desire to protect her child and assets amid potential civil lawsuits and to demonstrate accountability. Phillips has moved on personally, reportedly dating businessman Jamie Mazur, whom she met through friends after struggling with Masterson's conviction. Masterson is serving his sentence in North Kern State Prison, with victims expressing relief and emphasizing the importance of his incarceration. Phillips awaits judicial approval for the name change, signaling a clear break from her past with Masterson.
