Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis have come under a lot of criticism for their friendship with fellow actor Danny Masterson. The trio first met when they were cast on That 70s Show. They forged a lifelong friendship, and when Kutcher and Kunis got married, they continued their close friendship with Masterson. Kutcher and Masterson even teamed up again for the Netflix series The Ranch. However, things took a shocking turn when Masterson was accused of sexual assault. He was later sentenced to 30 years in prison for his crimes.
Kutcher and Kunis haven’t publicly expressed support for Masterson. However, during his trial, their letters of support for their friend were made public. Fans were shocked that the celebrity couple advocated for leniency for Masterson after he was convicted of the disturbing crimes. They later posted a public apology video on the matter. However, they haven’t turned their backs on Masterson or his family since then.
