Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis disable comments on their apology video

[Teletubby 142,589]

Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis have publicly apologized for the letters they sent to the judge of Danny Masterson’s sexual assault trial, in which they call their “That ’70s Show” co-star a “role model.”

“We are aware of the pain that has been caused by the character letters that we wrote on behalf of Danny Masterson,” Kutcher says in a video posted to his Instagram on Saturday.

“We support victims. We have done this historically through our work and will continue to do so in the future,” adds Kunis, who sits beside husband Kutcher in the video.

Kutcher then explains how Masterson’s family reached out to him and Kunis to write character letters to “represent the person that we knew for 25 years.”

“The letters were not written to question the legitimacy of the judicial system, or the validity of the jury’s ruling,” Kunis says.

“They were intended for the judge to read and not to undermine the testimony of the victims or re-traumatize them in any way,” Kutcher adds. “We would never want to do that, and we’re sorry that has taken place.”

The video concludes with Kunis saying, “Our heart goes out to every single person who’s ever been a victim of sexual assault, sexual abuse or rape.”

So the letter was only sent to lower the judge sentence? Yeah I guess thats fine then, considering they admit their friend is a rapist! Just weird that they would still defend him..

Nope, that does not excuse their letters.

It actually does, their letter was simply asking the judge to lower the sentence. Which is normal for any family or friend to ask a judge. Aslong as they admit their friend is a rapist, and agree with the evidence that the women are victims.

A very influencer kind of apology: a white shirt, no make up, a neutral background and a sad face

Why would they even want the judge to lower his sentence. He's a rapist? He deserves all the time they give him

In their apology they say they support victims. How is asking a judge to lower the sentence for a rapist a way to support victims?

It’s not. If they cared about the victims, they wouldn’t be trying to lower the sentence for a convicted rapist.

Every time rich celebrities say “Our hearts go out to…” after an apology it just sounds so insincere and code for “okay I said I was sorry; I’m not donating the thousands of disposable income I have”

The judge sentenced Danny to life in prison, so a friend requesting to lower it does not mean they dont support the victims. I can agree that my friend is a criminal, and he should be jailed, and that the victims should go after him in court, but at the same time not wanting my friend to serve a life sentence.

The judge decides the jail sentence based on the level of crime, if they are in danger to society, and if they are capable of rehabilitation.

Yeah no idea how anyone with half a brain would think this letter wouldn’t be a media mess. This looks so bad lol.

their PR people: 

but seriously: "we have supported victims in the past, and we'll do so in the future, but right now we're supporting the perpetrator, don't worry about it"

eyeroll for 1000 years
