The married couple Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis have apologized in a video for supporting actor Danny Masterson, who was found guilty Thursday of drugging and raping two women in 2001 and 2003. receive a sentence of 30 years to life in prison.
In 2020 Masterson, who co-starred with Kutcher and Kunis in the series Aquellos maravillosos 70, was reported several times for sexual abuse. The marriage came to his defense through letters: “I don’t think he’s a walking danger to society and that his daughter grows up without her father present would be an injustice,” wrote Kutcher. And his wife said: “He is an extraordinarily honest human being. In our 25 years of relationship, I don’t remember him ever lying to me. I wholeheartedly attest to Danny Masterson’s exceptional character and the tremendous positive influence he has had on me and the people around him.”
After Masterson was found guilty, the pair of actors released a joint video apologizing: “We support the victims. We have historically done this through our work and will continue to do so in the future.” And they say that the letters were written at the request of the family of Danny Masterson (47).
But these apologies have generated a lot of controversy on social networks, because they consider that the only intention of this forgiveness is to detach themselves from a criminal. Even victims have commented on the video: “This video is incredibly insulting and hurtful.”
