How Danny Masterson wooed Ashton Kutcher to Scientology — before rape leniency plea
Published By admin with Comments 0
Ashton Kutcher is normally a pro at navigating Hollywood scandals — including a high-profile divorce (with Demi Moore) and accusations of cheating.
But the star turned multi-millionaire investor has come under fire for sending a pre-sentencing letter of support for his great friend, convicted rapist Danny Masterson.
Not only are the pair close, but thanks to Masterson — who now faces between 30 years to life in prison — Kutcher has quietly maintained ties to Scientology, Page Six can reveal. And he’s not the only “That ’70s Show” cast member who got roped into activities at the controversial church.
The pals first met on the set of the sitcom, which debuted in1998.
They played a pair of layabout high-school stoners on the hit sitcom which also starred Kutcher’s now-wife Mila Kunis, Laura Prepon, Wilmer Valderrama and Topher Grace.
Masterson, 47, grew up in Scientology, alongside his younger brother Christopher, who starred in another TV hit, “Malcolm in the Middle” and their younger siblings Jordan and Alanna. He also made it his mission to get his cast members into the church, according to sources.
