Bijou Phillips gave a rare life update following a turbulent year in which she filed for divorce from Danny Masterson after he was convicted on rape charges.
“I’m doing good,” the actress told E! News Sunday at a Janie’s Fund charity event, noting that she and the former “That ’70s Show” star’s daughter, Fianna, make a “great little team.”

The “Ranch” alum requested visitation rights, which, if granted, would be given under supervision behind bars.
