Ashton Kutcher, Mila Kunis Quit Anti-Sex-Abuse Org Amid Masterson Backlash

Ashton Kutcher has abruptly resigned from the anti-child-sex-abuse organization he co-founded in 2019 after offering his praise for convicted rapist and That 70’s Show co-star Danny Masterson, according to a letter the actor sent to the board Thursday.

Kutcher and his wife Mila Kunis, who is also stepping down from Thorn, have faced immense backlash for penning glowing court letters that described Masterson as an “extraordinarily honest and intentional human being.” While the couple addressed the criticism in a video last week, they stopped short of an apology.

“After my wife and I spent several days of listening, personal reflection, learning, and conversations with survivors and the employees and leadership at Thorn, I have determined the responsible thing for me to do is resign,” Kutcher said in his letter to Thorn’s board. “I cannot allow my error in judgment to distract from our efforts and the children we serve.”
