From Sitcom Star to Serial Rapist

The Disturbing Tale of Danny Masterson

In this episode, we unpack the shocking story of Danny Masterson, the former That '70s Show star whose Hollywood charm masked a far darker reality. From his early days as a child model to his breakout role as Steven Hyde, Masterson seemed to have it all—a thriving career, a high-profile marriage, and fame that spanned decades.

But beneath the surface, allegations of sexual assault, silenced victims, and ties to the Church of Scientology painted a harrowing picture. Accusations surfaced in 2017, revealing a history of coercion and cover-ups within one of Hollywood’s most controversial organizations.

After years of legal battles, mistrials, and public fallout, Masterson was convicted in 2023 of two counts of forcible rape and sentenced to 30 years to life in prison. His story sent shockwaves through Hollywood, with former co-stars facing backlash for their support and his character erased from That '90s Show.

Join us as we delve into the rise and fall of Danny Masterson—a tale of fame, betrayal, and justice that continues to captivate and divide public opinion.
