Actor Ashton Kutcher has come under fire as a resurfaced video clip and his past support for convicted rapist Danny Masterson have sparked outrage on social media.
Danny Masterson, known for his role in “That ’70s Show,” was recently convicted and sentenced to 30 years in prison for the rape of two women in separate incidents in 2001 and 2003. The conviction has raised serious concerns about his actions and the support he received from colleagues.
Adding to the controversy, a video clip featuring Ashton Kutcher has gone viral, in which he makes a comment that many find inappropriate and unsettling. In the video, Kutcher can be heard saying, “We’re waiting for Hillary Duff and the Olsen twins to turn 18.”
The comment has generated criticism on social media, with many users expressing discomfort with what they perceive as a creepy and inappropriate remark about young women.
A Twitter user commented, “Ugh! Do you recall how shamelessly unsettling some guys were about young women ‘reaching the age of 18’! The early 2000s were a bizarre time! (In a disturbing way).”
Another user reflected, “I’m old enough to remember an internet countdown to the Olsen Twins’ 18th birthday. It was a gross era.”
In addition to the controversial comments, Ashton Kutcher and his wife, Mila Kunis, have faced scrutiny for their letters of support for Danny Masterson during his legal proceedings. They have since issued a public apology for defending a convicted rapist.
This controversy serves as a reminder of the importance of accountability and the need to reevaluate past associations and statements in light of changing societal norms and evolving perspectives on consent and inappropriate behavior.
