Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis face new backlash after sending letters of support to a judge following Danny Masterson's rape conviction.

Kutcher and Kunis, who starred on That 70s Show with Masterson, apologized for sending letters of support to a judge after he was convicted of rape.

Masterson was sentenced to 30 years to life in prison for the rapes of two women.

A woman who came forward against Masterson said the apology was "incredibly insulting and hurtful ".

Identified as Jane Doe Number One, she sent a text message to Huffington Post reporter Yashar Ali in response to the recorded apology posted on Jane's Instagram Kutcher.

"This video was incredibly insulting and hurtful," she wrote in the text, which Ali shared on X, formerly known as the name of Twitter.

"I hope they learn radical responsibility and the importance of self-education to know when to keep their privilege in check - especially Ashton , which claims to work with victims of sex crimes. And as for Mila, I can only think of "Times Up."
