Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis receive backlash for Danny Masterson letters and apology video: What went wrong?

Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis issued apologies on Saturday for the character letters they wrote in support of their former co-star Danny Masterson from “That ’70s Show,” who was recently sentenced to imprisonment for rape. The letters, which became public one day after Masterson’s sentencing, caused controversy due to the celebrities’ support for the convicted rapist.

In a video posted on Instagram, Kutcher and Kunis expressed remorse for any harm their letters may have caused and stated that their intention was to provide character references for the judge, not undermine the victims. They emphasized their support for victims of sexual assault and apologized for any insensitivity.

The controversial letters described Masterson as a decent person and role model, with Kunis stating that he had been an exceptional older brother figure to her. Kutcher explained that the letters were written at the request of Masterson’s family and were meant to provide the judge with information about the person they had known for many years.

Criticism of the apology video and support letters quickly spread on social media, with victims and activists condemning the celebrities’ actions. The controversy surrounding the letters also led to discussions about Kutcher’s past questionable behavior, including a video from 2003 where he made inappropriate comments about actress Hilary Duff.

Representatives for Kutcher and Kunis have not yet responded to requests for comment on the backlash.
