Bijou Phillips, the model and socialite formerly married to disgraced That ‘70s Show actor Danny Masterson, is in need of a second kidney transplant, TMZ reported on Wednesday. A rep for Phillips, 45, told the outlet that she is on dialysis at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles while waiting for a living donor. The rep said that Phillips was in stable condition and is under the care of Dr. Anjay Rastogi, UCLA’s premier kidney specialist, but that “time is of the essence.” Phillips was born with underdeveloped kidneys and received her first kidney transplant from a friend in 2017. The outlet reported that she has suffered a variety of complications since her first transplant, including BK virus, also known as Human polyomavirus 1, which contributed to cellular and antibody rejection. Phillips has battled kidney disease throughout her life. She divorced Masterson in September 2023. That same month, Masteron was sentenced to 30 years to life after he was convicted for two counts of forcible rape, relating to two separate 2003 incidents.
