Christina Ricci has raised her voice against those who defend bad guys like Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis, who are appealing to be accused of rapist Danny Masterson.
The sensational actress apparently called out her colleagues for writing an impassioned letter seeking a reduced sentence for their “That 70’s Show” co-star. The disgraced entertainer recently received a 30-year prison sentence for sexually assaulting an innocent woman.
While fellow actors who were convicted supported her in the rape case, “The Addams Family” star sided with the victim. The Santa Monica native took the situation personally, revealing she’s been on the receiving end of an abusive man pretending to be a nice guy.

Over the weekend, the “Little Red Riding Hood” actress updated her Instagram Story with a lengthy message directed at the famous couple and their controversial appeal for Masterson’s sentence to be commuted.
The TV personality did not mention any names, but the timing of her statement and its content appeared to be about a rape case that went viral. In the first slide, the 43-year-old states that some people hide their dark side under the guise of love to deceive others.
“So sometimes people we love and admire do terrible things,” the mother of two began her message.
“They may not have done these things to us, and we only know who they are to us, but that doesn’t mean they didn’t do terrible things, and defaming those who were abused is a crime,” the Primetime Emmy Award nominee. continued, seemingly criticizing Kutcher and Kunis’ support of Masterson.
“People we know as ‘great men’ can be predators and abusers. It’s hard to accept, but we have to. If we say we support victims – women, children, men, boys – then we must be able to take this stance,” said the Santa Monica native.

Ricci’s fierce defense of Masterson’s victims stems from the “Pan Am” star’s experience with wolves in sheep’s clothing. The actress claims to have been friends with men who were mean to others and also experienced men acting like that.
“Unfortunately, I have known many ‘great men’ who loved me, who have proven to be personally abusive. I also have personal experience with this,” the media personality admitted in a separate message.
“Believe the victim. It is not easy to come forward. It’s not easy to get a conviction,” the 43-year-old concluded. As noted, the message from the “Z: The Beginning of Everything” executive producer comes after Kutcher and Kunis’ letter to Masterson.
A few days earlier, the couple’s request for a lighter sentence for their friend was released on social media, leading to a backlash from upset fans. In their appeal to Judge Charlaine Olmedo on behalf of their cast, the couple highlighted the exceptional character of the “Men at Work” cast.
Both parties claim they escaped the drug-filled Hollywood life thanks to Masterson’s positive influence. Kutcher also recounts Masterson’s heroic story of rushing to the aid of a woman who was scolded by her boyfriend at a pizza shop.
According to the “Killer” star, she can trust the now-convicted entertainer with her two children because the 47-year-old has always been the epitome of a good father and a better person. Kunis echoed similar sentiments in her letter and credited Masterson for turning her personal and professional life around.

Before Ricci voiced the power couple’s support for Masterson, the couple reflected on their actions in a candid post following the backlash they received. The couple appeared remorseful for asking for a lighter sentence for their friend, telling fans in an Instagram video that their hearts go out to the victim.
“We are aware of the pain caused by the character letter we wrote on behalf of Danny Masterson,” the patriarch admitted. While saying, his wife added, “We support the victims. We have done this historically through our work and will continue to do so in the future.”
The couple claimed they had written a character letter in support of the man they had known for more than a decade on behalf of his family. They noted that Masterson’s loved ones had asked for their help so the judge could consider their perspective when determining his sentence.

“The letters were not written to question the validity of the judicial system or the validity of the jury’s decision,” Kunis explained, with her husband stressing that the intent of their letters was not to harm the victim.
“It’s meant for the judge to read and not affect the victim’s testimony or re-injure them in any way,” Kutcher claimed. “We would never want to do that. And we apologize if that has happened.”
