First Watch: Danny Masterson Fights Conviction & Munchausen Mom Faces Justice

Danny Masterson, the former That ’70s Show star and longtime Scientologist, is serving 30 years to life for rape and is now trying to overturn his conviction by blaming his attorney and the focus on Scientology. Katie breaks down the allegations, the church’s alleged involvement, the retrial that sent him to prison, and what his new habeas petition claims.

Then in Indiana, 32-year-old Alanna Brown spent years insisting her toddler needed a feeding tube while secretly collecting caregiver payments. Friends and the child’s father say they watched the girl eat normally, and once a hidden camera and hospital abuse team stepped in, the case spiraled into suspected Munchausen by proxy, fraud charges, and a fight to keep a 3-year-old safe.
