Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher appeared to lend their support to Danny Masterson during his rape retrial, writing letters of encouragement to the disgraced actor. According to multiple reports, the couple, who starred alongside Masterson on That '70s Show, shared positive words about their former co-star in the letters.
Good Morning America reported that there were more than 50 letters submitted, with Kutcher describing his friend as a ‘role model’. Meanwhile, Kunis vouched for Masterson's ‘exceptional character’. The actor was found guilty of two counts of forcible rape in May, and was sentenced to 30 years to life in prison earlier this week.
Masterson was accused of drugging three women before sexually assaulting them at his home. He denied all allegations, and his team argued that the sexual acts were consensual. The jury deliberated for eight days before returning their verdict, but were unable to reach a decision on the third charge.
Kutcher addressed the situation in a February interview with Esquire, saying he wanted his pal to be ‘found innocent’ but still supporting the victims. ‘I’m not the judge. I’m not the jury. I’m not the DA. I’m not the victim. And I’m not the accused. And so, in that case, I don’t have a space to comment,’ he said. ‘Someday, his kid is going to read about this. I wholesale feel for anybody who feels like they were violated in any way.’
The full letters written by Kunis and Kutcher have yet to be published, but it is clear that they wanted to show their support for their former co-star. It is clear that the LA Superior Court Judge Charlaine Olmedo was not swayed by their words, however, and sentenced Masterson to 30 years to life.
