A letter addressing the victim by actors Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher
Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher expressed regret for whatever hurt the letters, which were made public on Friday, may have caused in a video on Instagram.
The letters pleading for mercy, according to Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher, “were intended for the judge to read and not to undercut the testimony of the victims or retraumatize them in any way. We apologize if that has happened because we would never wish to do that.
In his letter dated July 27, 2023, Masterson said that Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher had portrayed him as a man who treated people “with decency, equality, and generosity”. Their letters did not intend to cast doubt on the victims’ testimonies, as shown in the apologetic video.
