Following the sentencing, a source revealed that Philips raised concerns about Masterson's safety in prison due to his high profile.

Speaking to Daily Mail, a source recently said that she is "very worried" someone will attack her husband and they claimed she has had "scary and morbid" thoughts since his rape conviction in May 2023.
