Masterson, a member of the Church of Scientology since his youth, has actively denied the accusations of multiple women who claimed the actor assaulted them in the early 2000s, and eventual investigations into the claims have been touch-and-go..
It was after firing an exec for publicly dismissing the accusers’ claims that Netflix made the decision to officially fire Danny Masterson, though he reportedly finished filming the season after that.
It’s currently unclear if the actor is maintaining his executive producer credit.
To be expected, Netflix and The Ranch have faced some blowback over Danny Masterson’s continued presence in these latest episodes, considering the streaming giant had so quickly severed ties with other male celebrities accused of various forms of sexual misconduct, including Kevin Spacey, Louis C.K. and Ed Westwick.
