In a statement to THR, Bijou Phillips’ lawyer Peter Lauzon said, “Ms. Phillips has decided to file for divorce from her husband during this unfortunate time. Her priority remains with her daughter. This period has been unimaginably hard on the marriage and the family. Mr. Masterson was always present for Ms. Phillips during her most difficult times of her life. Ms. Phillips acknowledges that Mr. Masterson is a wonderful father to their daughter.” Bijou Phillips stood by her husband throughout his legal battles, and insiders had claimed that she had no plans to file for divorce after sentencing, so this news has come as a surprise to many.
