New Delhi: Despite apologising for supporting Danny Masterson in a video, Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis are still at the centre of a scandal. After it turned out that the pair wrote character letters in support of their co-star, they found themselves in the midst of an internet outrage. Last Monday, Danny was found guilty of two counts of rape.
The internet is now noticing that Ashton also made some controversial remarks about young actors when he was younger. After Ashton and Mila posted their video of apologies, Chrissie Carnell Bixler, one of the women who had accused Danny of rape, posted an old tape of him praising Hilary Duff on social media.
In a 2003 episode of Punk'd, Ashton talks about Hilary, who was then 15 years old. “She’s one of the girls that we’re all waiting for to turn 18. Along with the Olsen twins,” he said.
Chrissie also shared a video from The Rosie O'Donnell Show in which Ashton's future wife Mila revealed how he and Danny had a "side bet" about giving her a French kiss when she was 14 years old while they were both appearing on 'That '70s Show'.
“Danny goes to him and goes, ‘Dude, I’ll give you $10 if you French kiss her,'” she said.
In a video posted on Instagram, Kutcher and Kunis expressed regret for whatever harm the letters, which were made public on Friday, may have caused. For raping two women in 2003, a court in Los Angeles on Thursday sentenced Masterson to 30 years to life in prison.
