Over the weekend, character letters penned by Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis<\/a> supporting actor Danny Masterson in the wake of his sexual assault trial surfaced.<\/p>\n

The private letters written to Los Angeles-based judge Charlaine F Olmedo asked for leniency following the conviction of their former That ’70s Show<\/i> co-star on two counts of rape. In an Instagram video released by the celebrity couple, Kutcher and Kunis claimed that the letter<\/a> was \u201cintended for the judge to read and not to undermine the testimony of the victims or re-traumatize them in any way.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now, Hollywood alum<\/a> Christina Ricci has responded to their apology video<\/a> with a post of her own.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo sometimes people we loved and admired do horrible things,\u201d the Wednesday <\/i><\/a>star wrote on her Instagram stories.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cThey might not do these things to us, and we only know who they were to us, but that doesn\u2019t mean they didn\u2019t do the horrible things, and to discredit the abused is a crime,\u201d she added. \u201cPeople we know as \u2018awesome guys\u2019 can be predators and abusers. It\u2019s tough to accept, but we have to,\u201d she continued. \u201cIf we say we support victims \u2014 women, children, men, boys \u2014 then we must be able to take this stance.\u201d<\/p>\n

The rest of her statement read: \u201cUnfortunately, I\u2019ve known lots of \u2018awesome guys\u2019 who were lovely to me but have been proven to be abusers privately. I\u2019ve also had personal experience with this. Believe victims. It\u2019s not easy to come forward. It\u2019s not easy to get a conviction.\u201d<\/p>\n

The latter half of her post seemingly references her divorce from her film producer ex-husband, James Heerdegen, who she claimed to be a \u201cviolent abuser\u201d in a 2021 restraining order against him.<\/p>\n

Ricci\u2019s pronouncement also follows a slew of Instagram Posts made against Kutcher and Kunis<\/a> by Chrissie Bixler, Masterson\u2019s former girlfriend, who accused him of rape.<\/p>\n

Bixler anonymously took part in Masterson\u2019s trial as Jane Doe #3<\/a>, where she alleged to the court she was \u201cregularly mentally and emotionally abused, and raped repeatedly\u201d in her victim impact statement. Her case against Masterson ended in a mistrial.<\/p>\n

Unlike Bixler, Ricci did not address Kutcher or Kunis by name. However, it\u2019s apparent their leaked letters sparked Ricci\u2019s statement.<\/p>\n

Masterson was sentenced on Friday to 30 years to life in prison for assaulting two women in 2003. His other co-stars, including Wilmer Valderrama\u2014who was the subject of Demi Lovato<\/a>\u2019s single \u201c29\u201d about their 12-year age gap and power imbalance in their relationship\u2014or Topher Grace, have yet to speak on his conviction and sentencing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
