Apparently, allegations of assaults are not being treated equally.
While Netflix has cut ties with the likes of Kevin Spacey and Louis C.K., one of Danny Masterson‘s accusers is wondering why nothing has been done to address The Ranch actor.
As we reported, there is an ongoing investigation into four sexual assaults including rape stemming from incidents that happened in the early ’00s.
Even after Masterson was exposed, Netflix renewed the show starring Ashton Kutcher for a fourth season.
As the streaming company remains silent, alleged victim Chrissie Carnell Bixler told The Daily Beast that she “can no longer be silent.”

She said in a statement:
“I was sick when I read Netflix’s statement on continuing with The Ranch and continuing their working relationship with a man who has violently raped and abused so many women. Four months after the story broke, and the LAPD confirmed a criminal investigation, Netflix ordered another season of The Ranch. After the HuffPost piece, and the journalist reaching out 15 times to get a statement from Netflix, [they] ultimately said they will continue to work with Masterson until something develops. (Not the actual quote obviously.)”
Bixler went on:
“For me, what Netflix has done, feels like a continuation of how the Church of Scientology made me feel when I reported my rape to them, as well as how Danny Masterson made me feel when I would beg him for an apology, an explanation, anything. I was made to feel unimportant. I was made to feel like I didn’t matter. Like what Danny Masterson did to me didn’t matter. My body doesn’t matter, because it doesn’t belong to me. The trauma and emotional pain doesn’t matter, because I just don’t matter. ├óΓé¼╦£Danny Masterson is a celebrity. He flourishes and prospers in life. You protect that and reward that.’ -direct quote from the Church of Scientology. I don’t matter. The other women don’t matter. Our pain means nothing, and we should be good little girls and shut our mouths. No! I’m going to be an amazing woman who will NOT shut my mouth when I find out my rapist raped countless other women. I will NOT shut my mouth when Netflix tries to make us feel like we don’t matter. We DO matter. We ARE important. We will see justice for what was done to us, and is continuing to be done to us…and for all those who knew/know and are either actively helping this serial rapist or are choosing to stay silent…YOU don’t matter. Victims are taking back the power that was stolen from us, and things are going to change. Netflix should write that down.”
So far, no word from Masterson — but he was spotted out to dinner in Los Angeles last night with an unidentified woman.
