Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis got chewed out by everyone all weekend, all because of their public support for a convicted rapist. Ashton and Mila have been close friends with Danny Masterson for years, and they wrote letters of support for Danny at his sentencing hearing, which happened months after Masterson was convicted of two felony rape charges. Masterson is a serial rapist who hurt multiple women over the course of two decades. Ashton and Mila’s public support for Masterson has changed people’s perceptions of them. You know it’s bad when their fellow celebrities are taking them to task. Christina Ricci posted this message on her Instagram Stories:
“So sometimes people we loved and admired do horrible things. They might not do these things to us and we only know who they were to us but that doesn’t mean they didn’t do the horrible things and to discredit the abused is a crime. People we know as ‘awesome guys’ can be predators and abusers. It’s tough to accept but we have to. If we say we support victims – women, children, men, boys – then we must be able to take this stance.”
“Unfortunately I’ve known lots of ‘awesome guys’ who were lovely to me but have been proven to be abusers privately. I’ve also had personal experience with this. Believe victims. It’s not easy to come forward. It’s not easy to get a conviction.”
In 2020, Christina finally left her husband after he had emotionally and physically abused her for years. She sought and received domestic violence protective orders and she sold all of her Chanel jewelry to pay for the divorce and get the hell out of the marriage. She also managed to survive in the industry during a period of time where abusers were everywhere, at every level of the industry. She absolutely has personal experience with all of this. “Believe victims. It’s not easy to come forward. It’s not easy to get a conviction.” Amen. Instead of actually standing with Masterson’s victims – women who spent years trying to get justice – Ashton and Mila were ride-or-die for a serial rapist.
