- 6 years ago
Danny Masterson is being forced to ride off into the sunset away from his Netflix show, “The Ranch,” after the network has fired him in the wake of multiple rape allegations.
According to TMZ, Masterson has reportedly been written off the show and completed his last day of filming. The actor is currently being investigated by the Los Angeles Police Department after it’s reported that one woman filed a police report against him in 2004, and a number of other women have made accusations against the former That 70’s Show star.
Masterson reportedly made a statement to TMZ saying, “I am obviously very disappointed in Netflix’s decision to write my character off of The Ranch. From day one, I have denied the outrageous allegations against me. Law enforcement investigated these claims more than 15 years ago and determined them to be without merit.”
The actor has never been formally charged or convicted of a crime. He goes on to say, “In this country you are presumed innocent until proven guilty. However, in the current climate, it seems as if you are presumed guilty the moment you are accused.”
Masterson is just the latest in a string of sexual assault allegations.
