Danny Masterson Got Into A Huge Scandal
“A joker, a smoker and a midnight toker”. That’s all about him — cunning and sarcastic Steven
Hyde — the smartest guy in the room, who’s life is full of weed and rock ‘n roll.
This rebellious, witty iconoclast was portrayed by Danny Masterson through all eight seasons.
That was indeed his most iconic role and the peak of his fame! Yet, in more than
10 years after the end of the sitcom, Danny’s life turned topsy-turvy — with
new notorious details about his behaviour on the stardom.
Danny got into a huge sex scandal dating back to the peak of his fame! He was charged with
assaulting three women, all in their 20s, between 2001 and 2003. Last year, those women
sued Masterson and the Church of Scientology, to which the actor belonged. They accused the
church of harassing and intimidating them for having filed the lawsuits against Danny.
One of the plaintiffs was his ex-girlfriend Chrissie Bixler,
who dated the actor for six years. The woman says that after one of their dates she
blacked out and felt like she “was poisoned.” I was ripped. I was injured. He started laughing.
He said, “Oh, I had sex with you last night”. I said, “Was I unconscious?” He said, “Yeah.”
After the accusations came to light, Danny had to “say goodbye” to the Netflix comedy “The Ranch.”
He was booted from the show amid multiple allegations of sexual assault, while his character
— Rooster — received a brutal sendoff. He was presumed dead due to a motorcycle accident.
This decision of Netflix made Danny — QUOTE — “very disappointed.” He denied the accusations,
which he described as “outrageous”, and vowed to clear his name “once and for all.”
Law enforcement investigated these claims more than 15 years ago and determined them
to be without merit. In this country you are presumed innocent until proven guilty.
This June, Danny was arrested and… released from prison in a couple of hours — after posting more
than three million dollars in bail. Yet, the decision could be changed this month,
after his arraignment. If convicted, Danny could be facing up to 45 years in prison.
Lisa Robin Kelly Lost The Battle With Drugs
An innocent angel for her doting father and a real devil for everyone else.
That’s Laurie, Eric Forman’s promiscuous big sister, played by Lisa Robin Kelly.
It comes as a real surprise, but the blond bombshell was written out of the show to
“attend beauty school.” Rumours hinted that Kelly had been asked to leave the sitcom due to her
drug problem. But the actress later said that the real reason behind the departure was her drinking.
Kelly turned to alcohol after a personal drama in her life left her devastated.
I had lost a baby. As a result of that, I lost it — I lost everything, and I was abusing alcohol.
Eventually, she went from a rising beauty to rock bottom. The actress fell out of
the spotlight. Instead, she began making headlines for her troubled personal life.
Kelly had many run-ins with the law: for drunken driving and felony spousal abuse.
Her husband claimed that she had beaten him up. After a loud and violent fight,
both ended up arrested and put in custody. Kelly was later released on a 50-thousand dollar bail
and the charges were eventually dropped. But here comes a new run-in — for driving
while intoxicated. Despite all this, Lisa Robin Kelly said that those hardships had only made
her stronger. She vowed to get her life back on track and even return to the industry.
I have paid my dues. And if I can make it through this, I can make it through anything.
It seemed that Lisa made her first step towards that dream. She voluntarily checked herself into
a rehab center to fight her addictions. The battle, however, was lost. At the age of 43,
she passed away in her sleep — just a few days after entering rehab. The cause of her death
wasn’t immediately apparent. The police labelled it “a mystery.” Months later,
they blamed Kelly’s death on “multiple drug intoxication” in “accidental overdose.”
Laura Prepon Felt Like A Failure
A witty, hot girl next door. Yet, a strong and outspoken woman, and a feminist queen
of “That 70s Show.” That’s all about Donna! This role was indeed a big break for Laura Prepon.
After it came to an end, she worked mainly on TV — and later became known as Alex in “Orange is the
New Black.” While filming the series, Laura was happy to discover that she was pregnant
with her second child. However, her happiness did not last long. In her second trimester,
a doctor gave her devastating news: the baby had a cystic hydroma, which means that the
baby's brain and the bones weren’t growing. We were told the pregnancy would not go to
full term and that my body was at risk carrying any longer.
After terminating the pregnancy, Laura blamed herself for the baby’s condition — due to eating
the wrong foods or working too many hours. She “was brutal” and “felt like a failure”,
though the doctors assured it wasn’t her fault. Her road to recovery was long and uneven. But
she still made it through. She started doing a lot of self-talk. Or “self-love”, as she says.
As the healing process took really long, she had a tough shoulder of her husband to lean on.
Then a miracle happened — Laura Prepon got pregnant again. Finding out the news made
her happy and... frightened. Prepon said: “I couldn’t fathom of going through it again.”
Luckily, this story ended on a happy note. The actress gave birth to a healthy baby boy,
making her two-year-old daughter Ella a big sister.
Welcoming home our new bundle of love. Overwhelmed with gratitude.
Now Prepon says that her traumatic experience taught her to take nothing for granted.
It — QUOTE — put her into “perspective what a blessing it is to have a healthy child.”
Ashton Kutcher And Mila Kunis Have Been Through A Lot, Together And Apart
A womanizer and a hunky dope, he broke a lot of hearts and didn’t seem to care...
Jackie Burkhart was not an exception, as Kelso broke her heart as well — by cheating on her
many times. Let’s face it: their love affair was doomed to fail — unlike Kunis and Kutcher's.
Wait, aren’t they splitting up? That’s what the rumours said.
Hold on! For those, who didn’t get it — that was a joke. They are madly in love and they
are best friends as well. Though, on the set of “That 70s Show” the duo weren’t really close.
At the height of his career, I was like, 'Ugh, I don't like you. I don't even know you anymore.
When the show came to an end, Mila and Ashton went their separate ways.
She started dating “Home Alone” star Macaulay
Culkin and eventually — QUOTE — “f*cked up”. Perhaps, she meant a terrible split.
Kutcher, in turn, tied the knot with Demi Moore, who was 15 years older than him.
You talk about meeting your soulmate. I truly feel I have been given that gift.
Yet, that “gift” turned out to be “devastating” for Demi who said that throughout their marriage
with Ashton she faced shaming and cheating, a miscarriage and threesomes. She claims that
her then-husband expressed his desire to bring a third person into their bedroom,
and Moore didn’t say no. She — QUOTE — “went along with that twice.”
I wanted to show him how great and fun I could be.
Then she came to regret that decision, as she believes he
used “those blurred lines” to justify his cheating with a 21-year-old woman.
Then he reportedly cheated again — with a woman he picked up at a bachelor party.
In response to the claims, Kutcher took to Twitter and posted a really veiled tweet:
I was about to push the button on a really snarky tweet.
Then I saw my son, daughter, and wife and I deleted it.
The question is: how does Mila Kunis react? Well, “no shock and no surprise”, as a source
told People. The drama wasn’t getting them down. And the reason is simple, we guess:
We knew 100 percent of each other’s faults. We knew exactly who we were.
We knew exactly who we used to be. Everything. And we were like I accept you for you are.
Isn’t that a lovely thing to hear? Looks like their story is the best version of “Friends
with Benefits”. And that’s exactly how it started after their reunion in 2011 — they
were casual sex buddies and neither of them planned to be a couple. Ashton even meant to
set her up with one of his friends. But that did not work out. And the two began their
love story that mirrored the plots of their films “Friends with Benefits” and “No Strings Attached”.
