Rebecca Minkoff’s words i “The Two Seats” have her in the hot seat.

The fashion designer of her namesake label said her former friend Danny Masterson, the “That ’70’s ​​Show” star who was convicted of raping, was “incredibly supportive” of her at the start of her career.

Minkoff and Masterson are both practicing Scientologists, with the “Real Housewives of New York” star telling the podcast co-hosts that Masterson introduced her to “girls and actresses who were excited to wear my product.”

“I haven’t seen or talked to Danny in over 10 years,” Minkoff said of Masterson. “When I started, he was incredibly supportive of me. I didn’t know anyone,” Minkoff told co-hosts Tamra Judge and Teddi Mellencamp.

Minkoff currently stars as a “friend of” on the “RHONY” reboot’s second season and 15th season overall. Mellencamp is a “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” alum, while Judge has appeared on “The Real Housewives of Orange County” on and off since the show’s second season.

‘That ’70s Show’ actor Danny Masterson moved out of maximum security prison

Masterson was convicted last year of raping two women and was sentenced to 30 years to life in prison. Minkoff remained mum on Masterson’s rape conviction during the podcast interview, telling her fellow “Real Housewives” co-stars that her previous comments were “all I can say,” adding that she “did not participate in the case” and did not “have details.”

From 1998 to 2006, Masterson co-starred with Ashton Kutcher, Mila Kunis and Topher Grace on “That ’70s Show,” before briefly reuniting with Kutcher on the now-cancelled 2016 Netflix comedy series “The Ranch.” When a Los Angeles investigation Police Department revealed a year later, Masterson was written off the show.

The conversation about Masterson started when Mellencamp asked if she would rather discuss Scientology leader David Miscavige’s wife Shelly Miscavige or Masterson. She replied that she would “accept them both.”

Minkoff, who also practices Judaism, has previously described Scientology as a “method.”

Scientology is a religion that has been shrouded in controversy over the past decade. Hollywood actress Leah Remini, a former Scientologist, has brought new attention to the dogmatic system of “faith and practice” founded by L. Ron Hubbard.

Several celebrities practice Scientology, including A-list actor Tom Cruise and “Grease” legend John Travolta.

The religion has been the subject of a number of disturbing allegations ranging from child abuse to human trafficking and slavery.
