Christina Ricci<\/strong> is not thrilled with Ashton Kutcher<\/strong> and Mila Kunis<\/strong> \u2013 whatsoever.<\/p>\n By now you know, Danny Masterson<\/strong> was sentenced to 30 years to life in prison on Thursday for raping two women between 2001 and 2003. It was then revealed that several of his That \u201870s Show<\/em> co-stars \u2013 including Mila and Ashton \u2013 were among 50 people who \u201cvouched\u201d for the 47-year-old disgraced actor\u2019s \u201cexceptional character\u201d in letters before his sentencing. Ashton hailed Danny as a \u201crole model,\u201d while Mila called him an \u201camazing friend\u201d and an \u201colder brother figure\u201d to her. Ugh.<\/p>\n When these notes were made public, the couple faced a ton of (valid) criticism for disgustingly supporting a convicted rapist and being hypocrites as Ashton has a foundation that aims to protect children from trafficking and sexual abuse. The pair addressed the backlash in what appeared to be a scripted video on Instagram<\/strong>, insisting they \u201csupport victims.\u201d Ashton explained they were contacted by Danny\u2019s family \u201ca couple of months ago\u201d to write letters \u201cto represent the person that we knew for 25 years so that the judge could take that into full consideration relative to the sentencing.\u201d He added:<\/p>\n \u201cThey were intended for the judge to read and not to undermine the testimony of the victims or retraumatize them in any way. We would never want to do that, and we’re sorry if that has taken place.\u201d<\/p>\n But as we\u2019ve said, Mila and Ashton never should have written a letter asking for leniency for a convicted rapist if they really support victims \u2013 no matter if Danny was their friend. This so-called apology also did not come off as genuine at all. They seemed to be more sorry that their letters were made public than for actually writing them in the first place. And as you can expect, a lot of people became even more enraged with them following this video. Even Christina Ricci<\/strong> had something to say about the apology clip!<\/p>\n Shortly after the video was shared, the 43-year-old actress took to Instagram Stories to speak out in support of victims. Although Christina never mentioned Mila or Ashton by name, she seemed to be directly calling them out for their apology! The Yellowjackets<\/em> star said:<\/p>\n \u201cSo sometimes people we loved and admired do horrible things. They 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<\/p>\n Go off, girl! Christina — who experienced alleged emotional and physical abuse from ex-husband James Heerdegen<\/strong> — then pointed out that if they claim to support victims, they should have taken that \u201cstance\u201d from the beginning of Danny\u2019s controversy and then never penned the letters:<\/p>\n \u201cPeople we know as \u2018awesome guys\u2019 can be predators and abusers. It\u2019s tough to accept but we have to. If we say we support victims \u2013 women, children, men, boys \u2013 then we must be able to take this stance. Unfortunately 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 Say this louder for everyone to hear!
