Netflix Cuts Ties with The Ranch Star Danny Masterson Amid Rape Allegations 

This past March, three women told the Los Angeles police department that Masterson sexually assaulted them in the early 2000s, People reported. Masterson denied the allegations.

Netflix’s decision to cut ties with Masterson comes in the wake of the Huffington Post publishing a story Monday about one of Masterson’s alleged victims having a conversation this past weekend with a Netflix executive about their decision to keep Masterson on The Ranch: According to HuffPo, the executive, Andy Yeatman, told the woman they didn’t believe the alleged victims, after which she revealed she was one of them.

The streaming service responded to this in a statement calling Yeatman’s remarks “careless, uninformed, and do not represent the views of the company.” “We are aware of the allegations against Danny Masterson,” the statement continued, “and we are following the current investigation, and will respond if developments occur.”

Part 4 of The Ranch, which includes Masterson, is set to debut Dec. 15. The actor also appears in season 2 of Netflix series Easy, which premiered Dec. 1.
