A decision that could damage their careers
Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis have found themselves embroiled in controversy after writing letters to a judge in support of their former co-star from That 70’s Show, Danny Masterson, who was convicted of rape.
This has raised concerns about potential damage to their careers due to their association with Masterson. The controversy surrounding Kutcher and Kunis began when it was revealed that they had penned letters to the judge during Masterson’s rape trial, seeking leniency in his sentencing.
Their actions have come under intense scrutiny, leading to a debate about their judgment and moral stance. Additionally, the backlash against the couple has drawn attention to the significant age difference between Kunis and Kutcher during their time on That 70’s Show.
“They legitimately feel like they are getting canceled,” a source told DailyMail.com exclusively.
“Ashton was looking forward to this past weekend being very low-key and devoted to watching football and dealing with his fantasy football teams.
“With all the people railing against them, it isn’t going to go away anytime soon, and they are feeling it. They are hoping as time passes, people will forget and or move on from their criticism.
“But as of right now, they are anticipating that the damage of it all might affect obtaining future work in film and TV.”
Kunis was only 14 years old when she joined the cast, while Kutcher was 19 at the time. This age gap has raised questions about the appropriateness of their working relationship and concerns about potential misconduct.
To complicate matters further, Kutcher himself has faced scrutiny as old videos resurfaced, revealing alleged problematic behavior.
One video comes from an aired episode of MTV’s Punk’d, in which a 25-year-old Kutcher made a questionable comment about Hilary Duff when she was only 15 years old.
Another clip from Rosie O’Donnell‘s talk show in 2002 has resurfaced, showing Kunis expressing her fear and discomfort about having to kiss her older co-star when she was just 14.
