What roles did Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis play in That 70's Show? Characters explored amidst Danny Masterson court letter backlash

Netizens and fans were outraged when they found out that actors Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis had written letters to the judge who sentenced Danny Masterson. The two actors were among the 50 people who wrote letters to the judge to decrease the sentence of the actor who was accused of r*ping two women.

While Kutcher called Masterson his “role model," Kunis was all praises for Danny and said that he has an “exceptional character.” The latter also went on to claim that Danny was an “outstanding older brother figure” for her.

According to Variety, in his letter, Ashton Kutcher wrote that he was aware that the judgment was cast as guilty on two charges of r*pe and that the victims wanted justice. However, he added that he was hopeful that his "testament to his [Masterson's] character" would be taken into consideration while sentencing the latter.

“I do not believe he is an ongoing harm to society and having his daughter raised without a present father would be a tertiary injustice in and of itself,” Kutcher's letter added.

Ashton’s wife, Mila Kunis also claimed in her letter, that Masterson has had a “tremendous positive influence” on her. She said that Danny's "dedication to leading a drug-free life" made him an "outstanding role model and friend. She also noted that the "genuine care" Masterson extended to others made him a great friend.

However, as the news made its way on social media, netizens were left outraged and Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher became recipients of massive backlash. As a Twitter user, @PopBase posted about it on the platform, a user commented and stated how they were “disappointed” by the letters.
