Ashton Kutcher resigned from anti-child sex abuse organization, Thorn, after he and his wife Mila Kunis supported their „That 70s Show“ co-star Danny Masterson in letters to a judge amid his rape conviction.
Ashton Kutcher has resigned from the anti-child sex abuse organization, Thorn, that he co-founded in 2009 with ex-wife Demi Moore.
The actor cited the backlash he and current wife Mila Kunis, 40, received for writing support letters for Danny Masterson’s rape case as the reason behind for his decision to depart.
“After my wife and I spent several days of listening, personal reflection, learning, and conversations with survivors and the employees and leadership at Thorn, I have determined the responsible thing for me to do is resign as Chairman of the Board, effectively immediately,” Kutcher, 45, wrote on Friday. “I cannot allow my error in judgment to distract from our efforts and the children we serve.”
“Victims of sexual abuse have been historically silenced and the character statement I submitted is yet another painful instance of questioning victims who are brave enough to share their experiences,” Kutcher continued.
