<p>Danny Masterson, who plead not guilty to every rape charge thrown at him, never bothered to take the stand at either one of his trials.</p> <p>He did, however, post a smug, smiling selfie&nbsp;to Instagram &mdash; geotagged &ldquo;courthouse&rdquo; &mdash; as&nbsp;one of his&nbsp;victims&nbsp;bravely testified&nbsp;in&nbsp;court. All three victims in this case got up the and faced the scrutiny. They tearfully gave their horrifying testimonies.</p> <p>At both trials.</p> <p>He also had little trouble relaying his strong feelings about the allegations against him before&nbsp;being&nbsp;charged.</p> <p>In 2017&nbsp;after&nbsp;Netflix fired&nbsp;him from&nbsp;The&nbsp;Ranch, he told&nbsp;<a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/danny-masterson-breaks-silence-on-the-ranch-firing/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">US Weekly</a>,</p> <blockquote> <p>&ldquo;From day one, I have denied the outrageous allegations against me.
