Rebecca Minkoff's words in "The Twot Seat" have her in the hot seat.
The fashion designer of her namesake brand said her former friend Danny Masterson, the "That '70s Show" star-turned-convicted rapist, 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 that were excited to wear my product."
"I haven't seen or spoken to Danny in over 10 years," Minkoff said about Masterson. "When I started out, he was incredibly supportive to me. I knew no one," Minkoff told co-hosts Tamra Judge and Teddi Mellencamp.
Minkoff is currently starring as a "friend of" on the "RHONY" reboot's second installment and 15th season overall. Mellencamp is an alum of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," while Judge has starred on "The Real Housewives of Orange County" on and off since show's second season.

'That '70s Show' actor Danny Mastersontransferred out of maximum security prison
Masterson was convicted last year of raping two women, and he was sentenced to 30 years to life in prison. Minkoff stayed mum on Masterson's rape conviction during the podcast interview, telling her fellow "Real Housewives" stars that her previous comments were "all I can say," adding that she "didn't participate in the case" and didn't "have details.”
From 1998 to 2006, Masterson starred alongside Ashton Kutcher, Mila Kunis and Topher Grace in "That '70s Show" before briefly reuniting with Kutcher on the 2016 now-cancelled Netflix comedy series "The Ranch." When a Los Angeles Police Department investigation was revealed a year later, Masterson was written off the show.
The conversation about Masterson kicked off when Mellencamp asked if she'd rather discuss Scientology leader David Miscavige's wife Shelly Miscavige or Masterson. She replied that she'd "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, an ex-Scientologist, has brought new attention to the dogmatic system of "beliefs and practices" founded by L. Ron Hubbard.
Numerous celebrities practice Scientology including A-list actor Tom Cruise and "Grease" legend John Travolta.
The religion has been the subject of a series of disturbing allegations ranging from child abuse to human trafficking and slavery.
