made for each other. Bijou Phillips is “distraught” after her husband, Danny Masterson, 47, was sentenced last week to 30 years in prison for rape, but the 43-year-old actress has “no plans” to end her 12-year marriage.“She has had a very difficult time since the conviction,” a source told People. “She loves Danny and has no plans to file for divorce.

She will be by his side for it all.”The daughter of musician John Phillips, the lead vocalist of the Mamas & the Papas, and actress Geneviève Waïte is “surrounded by family and friends” and trying to stay positive and in good spirits during this difficult time.“She is in touch with his lawyer,” the source added. “They are planning appeals.

She tries to stay hopeful.”The Post reached out to Phillips’s rep for comment.After sentencing, Masterson’s legal team noted that they plan to appeal the court’s decision due to “substantial” errors they believe occurred during the trial.“For the past several months, a team of the top appellate lawyers in the country has been reviewing transcripts of the trial.

They have identified a number of significant evidentiary and constitutional issues which they will address in briefs to both the state and federal courts,” Masterson’s defense attorney, Shawn Holley, told reporters outside the courthouse. “The errors which occurred in this case are substantial and unfortunately led to verdicts which are not supported by the evidence,” Holley added. “And though we have great respect for the jury in this case and for our system of justice overall, sometimes they get it wrong.” Masterson was found guilty of two counts of rape in May for sexually assaulting Jen B.
