“Unraveling the Intrigue: Laura Prepon’s Divorce and Its Connection to Danny Masterson”

Actress Laura Prepon’s marriage to Ben Foster, which began in 2018, was initially celebrated, especially by her co-stars from “Orange Is the New Black.” However, their relationship faced challenges amidst the legal troubles of Prepon’s former “That ’70s Show” colleague, Danny Masterson, who was on trial for serious allegations. Just days after Masterson’s conviction on September 7, 2023, Foster announced their separation on September 9. This timing raised eyebrows and fueled speculation that Prepon’s support for Masterson may have played a role in their split.

Citing “irreconcilable differences,” Foster formally initiated divorce proceedings on September 9, 2024, as reported by the Los Angeles Times. While rumors of Prepon’s alleged support of Masterson abound, they may be overstated; unlike her co-stars Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher, Prepon did not publicly address the trial or offer letters of support. Leading up to the proceedings, she left the Church of Scientology in 2016, an organization that notably exerted pressure on Masterson’s accusers. Despite this, Prepon’s connection with Masterson remains a lingering aspect of her past.

Laura Prepon and Danny Masterson share a lengthy history, dating back to their time together on “That ’70s Show.” Both were involved with the Church of Scientology, and Prepon had previously dated Danny’s brother, Christopher Masterson, for nearly ten years. After their breakup in 2007, Prepon maintained a friendly rapport with the Masterson family until she distanced herself from them post-Scientology.

Interestingly, it may have been Prepon’s choice to pull away from Danny that played a crucial role in her divorce from Ben Foster. The two men have a long-standing friendship, with Foster even attending Danny’s wedding in 2011. It’s possible that Foster’s loyalty to Masterson contributed to the breakup. If that’s the case, Prepon might find greater happiness following this separation, and many are eager to see her move on with newfound style.
