LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Danny Masterson, who is renowned for his role in the popular series 'That '70s Show', was convicted on two out of three counts of rape during his second trial in a Los Angeles courtroom on Wednesday, May 31. Following extensive discussions spanning seven days over the course of two weeks, the jury, comprising seven women and five men, ultimately arrived at a verdict. They voted 8-4 in favor of conviction.
As his association with the Church of Scientology has come under scrutiny, there is a growing interest in Masterson's background, particularly regarding his parents. People are increasingly curious to learn more about his family and their identities.
Who are Danny Masterson's parents?
Danny Masterson's parents Peter and Carol Masterson have played significant roles in his life. According to a report by In Touch Weekly, Carol is a talent agent and has dabbled in producing in the past. Peter, on the other hand, works as an insurance agent. Growing up on Long Island, New York, Danny and his siblings were nurtured by their parents who recognized his potential early on. From the age of four, they actively supported his career by facilitating his appearances in various magazines and commercials.
Danny appears to share a close and affectionate bond with his mother as evidenced by his Mother's Day tribute to her in 2020, where he wrote, "Happy mommy’s day my mother. From your son who might have been in love with Chris Cornell.... luv u 2 the [moon emoji]." In the heartfelt tribute, Danny shared a poignant photograph capturing a moment of tight embrace between the two.
Danny Masterson moved to stepfather Joe Reaiche's home at the age of 9
Danny's parents are no longer together. After their separation, Carol remarried a man named Joe Reaiche, who was a professional rugby player in Australia. In 1985, they not only got married but also made a notable commitment by joining the exclusive Sea Organization within the Church of Scientology. As a result, Joe became the stepfather to Danny, who was 9 years old at the time, and Christopher, who was 5. Prior to this, Danny and Chris had been living with their father Peter in New York. However, following Joe and Carol's marriage, they relocated to Clearwater and enrolled at True School, a Scientology-affiliated educational institution.
