Controversy

In November 2016, while six months pregnant, Masterson faced online body-shaming for her appearance on The Walking Dead. She responded directly, defending her body and her newborn daughter’s health, then deleted her Instagram account amid the attacks.

Another added:

• > “Alanna and Danny Masterson are siblings… she went to bat for him during the trial and is being investigated for possible witness intimidation.”
