Danny Masterson: Fired by Netflix Amidst Rape Allegations
Netflix has severed all ties with Danny Masterson.
Amidst allegations, by three women, that the actor committed rape, the streaming company has finally decided to let Masterson go.
His character will be written off The Ranch.
“As a result of ongoing discussions, Netflix and the producers have written Danny Masterson out of The Ranch,” a Netflix spokesperson said on Tuesday morning, adding:
“Yesterday was his last day on the show, and production will resume in early 2018 without him.”
The Los Angeles Police Department and the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office have been conducting an investigation into the aforementioned allegations of rape for just under a year now.
There’s been growing pressure on Netflix to make this move ever since news broke of the scandal.
Why did it finally do so now?
According to The Huffington Post, a Netflix executive mentioned to the mother of a girl on his daughter’s soccer team on Sunday that he did NOT believe Masterson’s accusers.
As it turned out… this mother actually was one of Masterson’s accusers.
Fast forward 48 hours – after Netflix confirmed its director of global kids content had made this “careless” and “uninformed” remark – and Netflix made the decision to part ways with the actor.
Masterson, meanwhile, maintains his innocence.
In a statement released through his lawyer, the star says the following:
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. I have never been charged with a crime, let alone convicted of one.
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.
I understand and look forward to clearing my name once and for all.
People Magazine first published a story about the allegations surrounding Masterson in March.
According to this disturbing report, all three of Masterson’s alleged victims were members of the Church of Scientology.
They claim the sexual assaults took place in the early 2000s, yet they were pressured by church leaders to remain silent.
However, Leah Remini told The Underground Bunker that her documentary about Scientology prompted one of the women to come forward with her story.
This woman, along with a second accuser, claim Masterson had sex with them while they were either asleep or passed out.
One of the women who has charged Masterson with rape was his girlfriend at the time, prompting Masterson’s attorney to say the following in March:
“The alleged incident occurred in the middle of their 6 year relationship, after which she continued to be his longtime girlfriend.
“When Danny ended the relationship she continued to pursue him …
“In fact, we are informed by the Church that the only demand [redacted] made of the Church after Danny broke up with her was asking for their help to intervene so the breakup would not be permanent.”
For the record, Masterson will be featured in new episodes of The Ranch when they hit Netflix on December 15.
He will appear in a few installments that have already been filmed for the next season, as well, because they were shot prior to his firing.
Authorities will continue to look into the serious allegations made against him dauring this time.

Kevin Spacey, Netflix Cuts All Ties with "House of Cards" Star
Netflix is out of the Kevin Spacey business — completely — severing all ties with the actor and leaving the future of “House of Cards” uncertain. The streaming service announced, “Netflix will not be involved with any further production of “House…
Kevin Spacey: Fired by Netflix!
Wow.
Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow.
And did we mention…. WOW?!?
It wasn’t very long ago that Kevin Spacey was the face of Netflix.
Signing the multiple-time Oscar winner to portray Frank Underwood on House of Cards signaled to Hollywood that the streaming service was serious about becoming a player in original content.
But now Netflix has severed ties with Spacey, making a stunning (albeit understandable) announcement on Friday night.
“Netflix will not be involved with any further production of House of Cards that includes Kevin Spacey,” a spokesperson for the company said, adding of production company Media Rights Capital:
“We will continue to work with MRC during this hiatus time to evaluate our path forward as it relates to the show.”
Less than a week ago, Spacey was accused by actor Anthony Rapp of sexual misconduct.
The Star Trek: Discovery star said Spacey forced himself on Rapp back in 1986, when Rapp was only 14 years old.
Rapp kept the incident a secret for decades, but says he was inspired to make them public now after an endless array of alleged Harvey Weinstein victims shared their story of sexual abuse at the hands of the famous movie producer.
Tweeted Rapp shortly after his accusations went viral:
“I came forward with my story, standing on the shoulders of the many courageous women and men who have been speaking out… to shine a light and hopefully make a difference, as they have done for me.”
In response to the allegations, Spacey acknowledged and apologized for his behavior.
He also finally confirmed the rumor that he’s gay, prompting a horde of celebrities to slam Spacey for trying to distract and deflect from the charges against him by shifting the topic to his sexuality:
See what we mean below:
Seriously, what does being gay have anything to do with sexual assault?
It’s not any better if you admit you’re attracted to the gender of the person you’ve reportedly assaulted.
The ramifications from this scandal simply snowballed from there:
- Netflix announced House of Cards would end after Season 6.
- It then suspended filming on Season 6.
- Spacey then said he was checking into treatment, although he didn’t specify for what reason.
- Then, many more House of Cards staff members accused Spacey of acting inappropriately, saying he created a toxic environment on the show’s set.
It was this final bombshell that prompted Media Rights Capital to release the following statement:
“While we continue the ongoing investigation into the serious allegations concerning Kevin Spacey’s behavior on the set of House of Cards, he has been suspended, effective immediately.
“MRC, in partnership with Netflix, will continue to evaluate a creative path forward for the program during the hiatus.”
It’s unclear where House of Cards goes from here.
There’s been chatter that it may kill off Spacey’s Frank Underwood and turn the drama over to Robin Wright’s Clare.
This wouldn’t be SO far-fetched, considering Underwood resigned as President on the show to conclude last season and Clare was sworn in as his replacement.
However, the series has already filmed two Season 6 episodes… with Spacey.
We can’t say for certain what will happen with the series, but we can say we’re stunned by how quickly events have unfolded in this real-life drama.
We’ll keep readers apprised as more news breaks.
