Joe Reaiche, Danny Masterson’s former-stepdad, claims his children are lying about their relationship with the him in order to help their sibling when he was sentenced to 30 years in prison for two rapes.
Danny Masterson’s former stepdad claims his children lied about their relationships with the “That ’70s Show” star in a bid to help their older sibling when he was sentenced to 30 years in prison for two rapes.
Joe Reaiche said he was appalled when he read his kids Alanna and Jordan Masterson’s letters to Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Charlaine Olmedo asking for leniency for their actor brother — in which they described him as the man who practically raised them when their father allegedly walked out on them.
“They make it sound like I walked out and abandoned them, and that Danny was the hero,” Reaiche told the Daily Beast in an article published Sunday. “They were actually making money, and I was giving them money.”
Reaiche, a former star rugby player and scientologist who met Carol Masterson in 1982, disputed his children’s claims that he walked out on them when they were just 6- and 4-years-old, noting that his wife didn’t file for divorce until 1995, meaning Jordan was nine, not six, when they split.
