Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis apologize for character letters amid Danny Masterson sentencing Instagram: apluskAshton Kutcher and Mila Kunis have released an apology after receiving backlash for writing character letters on behalf of their That \u201970s Show co-star, Danny Masterson. That 70\u2019s Show actor Danny Masterson has been sentenced to 30 years in prison after being convicted earlier this year of raping two women. Masterson was first accused in 2017 and has remained adamant that the encounters were consensual, his defense lawyers planning to appeal the convictions. Nonetheless, a judge told Masterson that \u201cOne way or another you will have to come to terms with your prior actions and their consequences.\u201d With the disgraced actor behind bars, two of his old costars have been feeling the heat after their character letters in support of Masterson were made public. Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis have now both issued an apology for their letters, taking to Instagram to address the situation. The pair posted a video together, Kutcher starting the apology by saying, \u201cWe are aware of the pain that has been caused by the character letters we wrote on behalf of Danny Masterson.\u201d \u201cWe support victims. We have done this historically through our work and will continue to do so in the future,\u201d Kunis added. Kutcher then explained that the Masterson family had reached out to the couple and asked them to write letters representing the person that they \u201cknew for 25 years.\u201d \u201cThey were intended for the judge to read and not to undermine the testimony of the victims or re-traumatize them in any way,\u201d Kutcher said. \u201cWe would never want to do that. And we\u2019re sorry if that has taken place.\u201d However, their apology video has not been well received as unimpressed viewers flocked to Twitter to share their outrage. \u201cIt\u2019s giving scripted. It\u2019s giving rehearsed. It\u2019s giving \u2018oh shit, we were caught!\u2019\u201d one person wrote, with another stating, \u201cThey aren\u2019t really apologizing for defending him, they\u2019re just sorry it came out and lead to a backlash.\u201d It certainly doesn\u2019t look like these two will be in the clear anytime soon.
