Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis have responded to backlash over letters written to the judge in the case of convicted rapist Danny Masterson.

The couple took turns speaking while Ashton added: “A few months ago, Danny’s family contacted us and asked us to write character letters to represent the person we had known for 25 years so that the judge can take this fully into consideration.
Mila added: “The letters were not written to question the legitimacy of the justice system or the validity of the jury’s decision.”
“They were intended to be read by the judge. And not to undermine the victims’ testimonies or re-traumatize them in any way. We would never want to do that. And we are sorry if this happened,” Ashton stressed.
“Our thoughts go out to every person who has ever been a victim of sexual assault, sexual abuse or rape,” Mila said to conclude her statement.
Since the cast’s letters were published, fans haven’t taken Ashton and Mila lightly.
