Danny Masterson was fired from Netflix’s “The Ranch” following rape accusations and now has been dropped by a top Hollywood talent agency, The Hollywood Reporter confirmed Thursday.
There was no information as to when exactly Masterson and the United Talent Agency cut ties, only that the agency said they no longer represent the 41-year-old actor, who they have represented for several years. (RELATED: Danny Masterson Written Out Of ‘The Ranch’ Over Rape Claims)

The move comes amid various rape accusations made by four woman against the “That 70’s Show” star stemming from incidents that allegedly occurred in the early 2000s.
The Los Angeles County District Attorney and Los Angeles Police Department have confirmed they are investigating the accusations.
On December 5, Netflix announced that Masterson would be written off the series that he not only co-starred in but was a co-producer of.
In response, “The Ranch” star denied the allegations and called them “outrageous.”
“I am obviously very disappointed in Netflix’s decision to write my character off of ‘The Ranch.’ From day one, I have denied the outrageous allegations against me,” Masterson shared. “Law enforcement investigated these claims more than 15 years ago and determined them to be without merit. I have never been charged with a crime, let alone convicted of one.”
“In this country, you are presumed innocent until proven guilty,” he added. “However, in the current 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. In the meantime, I want to express my gratitude to the cast and crew that I’ve worked so closely with over the past three seasons. I wish them nothing but success. I am also so thankful to the fans that have supported me and continue to do so.”
