From Danny Masterson being found guilty of rape, to Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes‘ firing from Good Morning America to Scandoval, keep reading to revisit the most shocking scandals of 2023.

Danny Masterson Found Guilty of Rape

In September, a judge sentenced Danny Masterson to 30 years to life in prison for the rape of two women in the early aughts. Though the That ’70s Show star, 47, has maintained his innocence, his wife, Bijou Phillips, 43, filed to end their marriage just days later.

Pals Ashton Kutcher, 45, and Mila Kunis, 40, felt the fallout, too, issuing a public apology after letters they wrote in support of the disgraced actor went viral.

Scandoval

Who can forget Scandoval! It became worldwide news in March that Tom Sandoval had cheated on longtime girlfriend Ariana Madix with their Vanderpump Rules costar Raquel Leviss over a period of months.

Ariana, 38, broke up with Tom, 40, who was dumped by Raquel, 29, after she entered a mental health facility for treatment. The betrayed former SUR bartender rode the wave of public support to a reported $1M in endorsement deals before debuting on Dancing With the Stars this fall.

Meanwhile, Tom’s tried to rehab his image with appearances on The Masked Singer and Special Forces.

Todd, 54, got 12 years while his wife, 50, was sentenced to seven, but in September, it was revealed their terms had been reduced to 10 and six years, respectively, for good behavior.
