Actor Danny Masterson fall from grace haunts him every day. The former That ’70s Show star now spends his time consumed by regret and mounting despair as he continues to serve his 30-year sentence locked away in the California Men’s Colony.
In 2023, Danny Masterson was sentenced to 30 years for the rape of two women. Once optimistic about overturning his conviction, his hopes are now rapidly fading. What began as a confident legal battle, citing inconsistencies in the case, has taken a darker turn. Reports indicate that his appeal has stalled, and experts agree that the odds appear to be stacked against him.
After almost two years in prison, Danny’s life has taken a harsh turn. The former star now faces a grim, soul-crushing reality, far removed from the fame and fortune he once enjoyed. Isolated and disgraced, Masterson reportedly drifts through each day trapped in a fog of regret and despair. He lives a lonely existence. Not only fans but also his closest friends and family are turning their backs and abandoning him, according to the Daily Mail.
Masterson’s former inner circle, including longtime friend Ashton Kutcher, has completely cut ties. Even Ashton and Mila Kunis, who once risked their reputations by writing glowing character letters during his trial, have now fully distanced themselves from him.
Danny Masterson Left Behind
Danny Materson’s personal life has also crumbled. His wife and mother of his child, Bijou Phillips, reportedly visited him just once before filing for divorce and moving on with billionaire Jamie Mazur. Since then, visits have stopped altogether.
Even his family members have seemingly turned their backs, with no letters, calls, or support reaching him behind bars. Left isolated on all sides, Danny faces his darkest days with little hope of reconciliation or comfort from those who once mattered most.
“He’s not just locked up, he’s been erased. He is ghosted and forgotten by everyone who mattered,” one family insider states.
Danny Masterson’s Sad Days Behind Bars Filled With Regret
Life for Danny Masterson behind bars is a mix of isolation and self-torment. With no visitors, no letters, he’s left with nothing but his thoughts. Thoughts, insiders say, are getting darker by the day. “He’s sinking,” the source adds. “There’s no joy, no hope. Just silence and regret.”
A normal day for CMC inmates consists of a strict schedule. Beginning around 5:30 AM, the day includes assigned work details or programs. These can range from kitchen duties, janitorial work, laundry, or facility maintenance. Some inmates participate in educational or vocational training programs, though eligibility and participation vary.
Meals at CMC are standard prison fare, often bland. Typical meals include items like eggs, toast, oatmeal, canned fruits, sandwiches, soups, rice, beans, vegetables, and some form of protein like chicken or beef. Snacks or commissary items can supplement meals, but come at an additional cost.
Life at CMC is a cycle of repetitive routines and sparse comforts, built to enforce order and discipline, not ease. For former Hollywood star Danny Masterson, the harshest sentence isn’t just the prison time itself. But, likely the slow, painful acceptance of the world he once knew. Everything and everyone he once cherishes is now gone.
