Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis — famous for their roles on "That '70s Show" — issued a public apology on social media after it was revealed they wrote letters of support on behalf of Danny Masterson to the judge presiding over the sexual assault trial.

Kutcher and Kunis, who have been married since 2015, starred alongside Masterson in the hit sitcom show that ran from 1998 to 2006. On Saturday, the two appeared together in a post shared to social media, claiming to be sorry for issuing statements that apparently caused pain to Masterson's victims.

The funny thing is that Kutcher’s letter was pretty lame. He said that Masterson was “punctual.” It appeared to me that he was asked to write something…and he tried to be as benign as possible.

He did not ask for a reduced sentence. He did not excuse the crime.

It was not a bright move to write the letter to start, but the letter wasn’t that great. I certainly would not be holding it up and shouting, “See, this says I am a great guy…I showed up for work…20 years ago!”

Has Whoopi weighed in yet?

If so, she probably broke the scale.

That’s pretty much what it is. But, they are getting grief from people who dont have friends or who haven’t read the letter.

A&M are sorry they got caught defending a Convicted Rapist

Just because he's convicted doesn't mean he's a rapist. A lot about this case sounds ginned up.

I didn’t really follow the case but I do know that the events took place 15 years ago. I don’t know how you really defend yourself against something like that

Kunis is a supporter of the Democratic Party.[207] In a 2012 interview, she criticized the Republican Party, saying: “The way that Republicans attack women is so offensive to me. And the way they talk about religion is offensive. I may not be a practicing Jew, but why do we gotta talk about Jesus all the time?”[169] In 2017, Kunis disclosed that she had been making monthly donations to Planned Parenthood in Mike Pence’s name.[208]

And if he is actually innocent?

Sorry but these decades old accusations don’t impress me.

Thank you for your post.

Apparently, y'all missing the point.

Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kubis are compromised. There are skeletons in their closet that are well known by certain folks including Danny Masterson and at least one of his rape victims.

Mr. Kutcher has a thing for underage girls. He has committed statutory rape. In addition, Ms. Kunis 'slept' her way to stardom as an underage girl.

Chrissie Bixler (a Masterson rape victim) knew Ashton and Kunis and has stated that there is more than meets the eye regarding the history of the two of them and Danny.

[The stupid part is apologizing. They knew the guy and I guess they wrote something supporting him at sentencing, which didn’t do much anyway.
If you considered him a friend and wanted to send in a letter for him, suck it up.
All this apologizing is sickening.]


Not at all. Showbiz is a winner-takes-all biz. Literally 1 in millions gets to star. No one knows if the neighborhood plumber writes something like this. Even if they know, his regulars know him personally, can vouch for him or don’t care.

In showbiz, producers care. They’re betting tens or hundreds of millions on a star’s bankability. Complete strangers to the star decide whether they want to watch him in a movie based on his rep. Public contrition, even if insincere, helps.

I didn’t comment on why they apologized. We all know why.

If it’s obvious why the apology was issued, why was it stupid to apologize? My suspicion is they know the guy well from their time on the show, consider him a good friend, so stuck their necks out. Now that Humpty Dumpty cannot be reassembled, they’re salvaging what can be salvaged - their careers.

ZFG for a scientologist freak like him. Perhaps now he will be in a place where he can hear the Gospel unimpeded by the watchful, satanic eyes of his scientology handlers.
