<h3 style="text-align: center;">Bijou Phillips Wrote A Letter Of Support For Danny Masterson</h3>
<p>When Masterson was found guilty in May, AP reports that Bijou Phillips sobbed in the court audience and did the same during his sentencing.</p>
<p>Prior to the lengthy sentence, Bijou wrote a character letter on behalf of Danny. Though the letter to Los Angeles Superior Court Judge <strong>Charlaine Olmedo</strong> was published, it was reportedly heavily redacted.</p>
<p>In her letter, per <em>TMZ</em>, Bijou said she hasn&#8217;t been able to accept that he raped two women. AP says she called Masterson an &#8220;amazing father&#8221; whose absence from home has left her and their daughter &#8220;heartbroken.&#8221; She also called him a &#8220;life-saving partner.&#8221;</p>
<p>The couple wed in Ireland in 2011 but began dating in 2004 and got engaged in 2009.</p>
<p>At this time, it&#8217;s unclear what prompted Bijou Phillips to file.</p>
