Ashton Kutcher, Mila Kunis apologize for sending character reference letters to judge in Danny Masterson case

Acting couple Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis issued an apology on social media Saturday for sending letters of support to the Los Angeles judge overseeing the Danny Masterson rape case ahead of Masterson's sentencing.

Masterson was sentenced Thursday to 30 years to life in prison after being found guilty in June of raping two women at his Hollywood Hills home about two decades ago.

Kutcher, Kunis and Masterson were co-stars on the hit sitcom "That '70s Show" from 1998 to 2006. Masterson later starred with Kutcher in the Netflix comedy series "The Ranch," which ran for four season from 2016 to 2020. However, Masterson only appeared in the first three seasons, and was fired off the show in December 2017 after the rape allegations surfaced.
