Ashton Kutcher is getting criticized for a clip from ‘Punk’d’ showing him thirsting after Hilary Duff and the Olsen twins.
Ashton Kutcher is facing backlash after an old clip from his MTV show Punk’d resurfaced, showing him thirsting after Hilary Duff and the Olsen Twins when they were still underaged actors. The clip began circulating after news broke that Kutcher had written a letter supporting actor Danny Masterson, who was sentenced last week to 30 years to life in prison for raping two women.
In the clip, Kutcher can be seen introducing Duff on an episode of his prank series. He says, “Hilary Duff is in Lizzie McGuire. She also has an album out. She’s going to be in a movie called Cheaper By The Dozen. And she’s one of the girls that we’re all waiting for to turn 18.”
“Along with the Olsen Twins,” he then adds, referring to Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen.
That episode aired on MTV in 2003, when Duff was 15 years old and Mary Kate and Ashley were 17 years old. Kutcher was 25 years old at the time.
The clip began circulating after it was revealed that Kutcher and his wife, actress Mila Kunis, had written letters to the judge presiding over Masterson’s rape trial to ask for leniency in his sentencing. Masterson was sentenced Friday (Sept. 8) for drugging and raping two women in his Hollywood home in the early 2000s.
