Tony Ortega has been busy! Page Six reports that on his website The Underground Bunker, Ortega recently revealed that actor Danny Masterson, who is married to Bijou Phillips, is under investigation for sexual assault. The LAPD confirms that information, stating, “The Los Angeles Police Department Robbery Homicide Division, Sexual Assault Section, is conducting an investigation involving the actor Danny Masterson. Three women have come forward and disclosed that they were sexually assaulted by Masterson during the early 2000s.”
All women were Scientologists when it happened, and Leah Remini recently encouraged one of the women to report her 15-year-old assault to the LAPD after hearing her story.
Masterson's reps vehemently deny the charges, stating: “We are aware of [the alleged victim’s old] allegations. It was only after [the alleged victim] was in contact with Leah Remini that she made allegations of sexual assault by Mr. Masterson. In fact, we are informed by the Church that the only demand [the alleged victim] made of the Church after Danny broke up with her was asking for their help to intervene so the breakup would not be permanent. We are aware also that approximately 14 years ago a woman referred to in the blog made allegations of sexual assault and that the LAPD interviewed numerous witnesses and determined the claim had no merit. Based on reading the anti-Scientology blog that posted this story, these false allegations appear to be motivated to boost Leah Remini’s anti-Scientology television series since [the alleged victim] only came forward after connecting with Leah Remini.”
