Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis’ Danny Masterson statement shines a light on Church of Scientology

In May this year, Hollywood actor Danny Masterson was found guilty of raping two women.
In a bid for leniency in his prison sentence, statements from 50 people were submitted to the court, attesting to Masterson’s good character.
Two of those came from his That ’70s Show co-stars Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis.
Journalist Tony Ortega published their character references on his website, and it caused an immediate firestorm.
“These letters were written post-conviction that their friend had been convicted of two violent rapes, and they had still written a letter to the judge asking for leniency,” he told Tara Brown.
The furore forced the celebrity couple to issue an apology, saying they did not intend to re-traumatise the victims.
“The letters were not written to question the legitimacy of the judicial system or the validity of the jury’s ruling,” Kunis said in a video published on social media.
