The trio previously starred together on That 70s Show, and Kutcher and Masterson later went on to work on The Ranch. Despite the horrific crimes that the actor was accused of, the couple never faltered in their support for him. Masterson was eventually found guilty and sentenced to several years in prison. Meanwhile, Kutcher and Kunis were heavily criticized for backing the actor.

Following the public release of their letters, Kutcher and Kunis shared a public apology. They then took a step away from the limelight as the controversy died down a bit. Recently, they’ve been re-emerging in the public eye. They even attending their first public event with their children. However, their support of Masterson is likely still strong, per She Knows. The couple were photographed with the actor’s brother, Jordan Masterson, recently, and fans had plenty to say about it.

Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher Spotted Hanging out With Danny Masterson’s Brother

Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis appear to be tight with Danny Masterson’s brother. According to Hollywood Life, Jordan is also an actor, and stood by his brother in court along with their other siblings, Alanna, Will, and Christopher.

“Ashton and Mila grew up on the set of the original That ’70s Show with the younger Masterson kids. They look at them almost like younger siblings of their own because Danny was their best friend on planet ​Earth at the time,” a source tells In Touch Weekly. “Ashton and Mila see them as part of their extended L.A. family of people they got to know before they became household names.”

Although some fans may be angry to see Kunis and Kutcher hanging out with Jordan Masterson, others found nothing wrong with their outing.

“OK, the letter was ill-advised even though they are routinely solicited prior to a person’s conviction but are we supposed to shun all of a convicted person’s relatives for the convicted person’s crime?” one person commented, per The Daily Mail. “He had nothing to do with Danny’s issues and shouldn’t be ostracized for what his half brother did,” another wrote. “They should never have gotten involved,” a third person stated.

It seems that Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher may never escape their connection to Danny Masterson’s scandal. Of course, fans are going to continue share their opinions about the couple’s decisions, no matter what those may be.
