Netflix has fired "The Ranch" star Danny Masterson as multiple rape allegations mount against the actor.

A Netflix spokesperson told CBS News in a statement, "As a result of ongoing discussions, Netflix and the producers have written Danny Masterson out of 'The Ranch.' Yesterday was his last day on the show, and production will resume in early 2018 without him."

Masterson will still appear in the second half of season 2, which hits the streaming service on Dec. 15. Masterson co-stars as Ashton Kutcher's brother on the multi-camera comedy.

In March, Los Angeles Police confirmed that three women accused the former "That '70s Show" actor of sexually assaulting them in the early 2000s. At the time, Masterson, who is a Scientologist, hit back and called the allegations "false." He said the accusations seemed seem to be a scheme to boost the ratings of Leah Remini's A&E TV show, "Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath." LAPD has been investigating the allegations.

On Monday, Netflix came under fire when it confirmed to the Huffington Post that Andy Yeatman, its director of global kids content, made "careless" and "uninformed" comments saying he did not believe the women who were accusing Masterson of rape. An accuser told the Huffington Post that she confronted Yeatman at a youth soccer game and asked him why Netflix was not taking action against Masterson and he said, "We don't believe them," referring to the accusers. The woman said she then told Yeatman that she was one of them and began to cry, saying, "I hope no one ever says that to your daughter."

In November, Netflix severed ties with Kevin Spacey after multiple accusers alleged that he sexually assaulted them. On Monday, Netflix announced that "House of Cards" with continue without Spacey.

I always found it ironic that Hyde was protrayed as the biggest rebel but his actor is a Scientologist which is something a rebel would never join due to all of its strict structure.

Danny Masterson Speaks Out After 'The Ranch' Firing
https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/danny-masterson-speaks-ranch-firing-142532026.html

In the wake of his dismissal from Netflixs The Ranch over sex assault allegations, Danny Masterson released a statement expressing his dismay while also maintaining his innocence.

I am obviously very disappointed in Netflixs decision to write my character off of The Ranch, the embattled actor told The Huffington Post. From day one, I have denied the outrageous allegations against me. I have never been charged with a crime, let alone convicted of one. In this country, you are presumed innocent until proven guilty. However, in the current political climate, it seems as if you are presumed guilty the moment you are accused. I understand and look forward to clearing my name once and for all.

Early Tuesday Netflix announced that as a result of ongoing discussions the company decided to write Mastersons character off the show. [Monday] was his last day on the show, and production will resume in early 2018 without him.

Masterson stands accused of raping four women in the early 2000s; the Los Angeles County District Attorney and Los Angeles Police Department continue to investigate the claims.

Yeah, is read some accusations about this guy a few weeks ago. I really hope his brother (Francis from Malcolm in the Middle) isn't a perv.

TBH, I never liked Hyde. I hope he didn't pull that shit on the That 70s Show set. I bet Ashton Kutcher and that redhead chick would have stopped him.

But remember, Ashton was 20 and Mila Kunis was 15 when they were making out on the show.......lil' creepy.
