The fallout from Ashton Kutcher’s support for convicted sex offender Danny Masterson has spilled over into his Thorn organization.

News broke on Friday, September 15, that Kutcher, 45, has resigned from his post as chairman of the board for anti-human trafficking organization Thorn, which he cofounded with ex-wife Demi Moore in 2009. (Kutcher and Moore, 60, split in 2011 and finalized their divorce two years later.)

Kutcher’s wife, Mila Kunis, has also vacated her role as an observer on the organization’s board, according to Time.

“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 wrote in a letter to Thorn’s board on Thursday, September 14, via Time. “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. I cannot allow my error in judgment to distract from our efforts and the children we serve.”

Ashton Kutcher hit it out of the park when he made his acting debut in 1998 — and decades later, Hollywood is still enthralled by his life. Kutcher (full name Christopher Ashton Kutcher) rose to fame playing Michael Kelso on That ’70s Show, which is where he met his now-wife, Mila Kunis. The pair — who share […]

Kutcher apologized for his actions, writing, “The mission must always be the priority and I want to offer my heartfelt apology to all victims of sexual violence and everyone at Thorn who I hurt by what I did.”

He concluded: “And to the broader advocacy community, I am deeply sorry. I remain proud of what we have accomplished in the past decade and will continue to support Thorn’s work. Thank you for your tireless advocacy and dedication to this cause.”

Kutcher and Kunis’ decision to step down from Thorn’s board came after the couple made headlines for writing letters in support of Masterson, 47, as he awaited sentencing in his rape trial.

Masterson — who costarred on That ‘70s Show with the pair and later with Kutcher on The Ranch — was sentenced to 30 years to life in prison on September 7. He was convicted in May on two charges of rape for sexually assaulting two women in 2003. A verdict was not reacted on the allegation that Masterson raped an ex-girlfriend in 2001.

All eyes were back on the cast of That ‘70s Show — and Danny Masterson — when Netflix released the sequel series, That ‘90s Show, featuring appearances by Laura Prepon, Topher Grace, Mila Kunis, Ashton Kutcher and Wilmer Valderrama. Masterson, who played Steven Hyde on the comedy series, which ran on Fox from 1998 to […]

After Kutcher and Kunis, 40, received backlash for their letters, they took to Instagram to explain their thought process. “We are aware of the pain that has been caused by the character letters that we wrote on behalf of Danny Masterson,” they said in a video posted on September 9.

Kunis insisted, “We support victims. We have done this historically through our work and we will continue to do so in the future.”

Danny Masterson made headlines in 2017 when he was first accused of sexual assault. He has since pleaded not guilty after being charged in June 2020 with allegedly raping three women. Four women claimed in March 2017 that the That ‘70s Show alum sexually assaulted them in the early 2000s. A fifth woman came forward […]

Kutcher then explained that they wrote the letters “a couple of months ago” after Masterson’s family “reached out” and asked for “character letters to represent the person that we knew for 25 years.” The letters were meant to inform the judge when sentencing Masterson.

“They were intended for the judge to read and not to undermine the testimony of the victims or re-traumatize them in any way,” Kutcher said. “We would never want to do that, and we’re sorry if that has taken place.”

Kunis, who married Kutcher in 2015, concluded: “Our heart goes out to every single person who’s ever been a victim of sexual assault, sexual abuse or rape.”

Leggings are a staple of any basic wardrobe, but finding a good pair of capri-length ones can be a challenge.

Luckily, we’ve found one of the biggest bestsellers in the leggings category on Amazon, and with a stellar 10,000+ reviews, you know they’ve been well tested.

Why Charli D’Amelio Stormed Out of a Family Meeting on ‘The D’Amelio Show’ on September 27, 2023 at 4:05 am Us Weekly

The tension between the D’Amelio sisters escalated on The D’Amelio Show season 3 when Charli D’Amelio flipped out on sister Dixie D’Amelio over a joke about executing her dog, Rebel.

When Charli and Dixie met up with their parents, Marc and Heidi D’Amelio, for a family meeting, the girls voiced their concerns with each other after moving into a new house together.

“My problem is Charli’s fat dog. She’s a monster,” Dixie told her parents. Charli chimed in, saying, “I think there needs to be a talk about where food can be left in the house for her to not get it.”

Dixie explained that she had stored a box of cupcakes — nine of which were chocolate — high off the ground, but Rebel still got to them.

Overnight sensations! Charli D’Amelio and Dixie D’Amelio skyrocketed to fame thanks to their popularity on TikTok. Their success led to news that the social media stars and their parents, Marc and Heidi D’Amelio, would star in a reality show for Hulu in 2021. Marc and Heidi tied the knot in May 2000; they welcomed daughters […]

“I am very worried about her because she’s bigger than she’s ever been,” Heidi told her daughters. “We have to really talk about this and come up with a plan because she’s gonna die.”

Dixie whispered, “Execute her?” with a subtle laugh.

“What the f—k is wrong with you? That’s so mean,” Charli hit back. “You can’t put that out into the world.”

Heidi can be heard off camera saying, “Yeah, scratch that.”

“[The idea] of me killing her? OK. Yes, because I’m going to kill your dog,” Dixie told her sister sarcastically. “That’s what I was being serious about.”

Charli stormed out of the meeting while Dixie rolled her eyes and told Marc: “Charli’s a bitch.” Not wanting to get in the middle of his daughters, Marc wanted to diffuse the situation, revealing in his confessional that the family “can’t afford them not to be speaking.”

However, in her confessional, Dixie explained that the fight between the family was “not about Rebel at all.” But she was hesitant to reveal the real issues on the show.

In the previous D’Amelio Show episode — season 3, episode 3 — which was also released on Wednesday, Dixie made reference to “the whole parents situation” that “got dropped in my lap.” It’s unclear what went down between Marc and Heidi, but Dixie made it clear that it’s something she’s “not ready to talk about.”

Dixie made a second reference to something that went down between her parents during episode 4 as well.

“In the back of the car on the way to the Kids’ Choice Awards, seeing my parents happy pissed me off so much,” she said. “I had to deal with all of their issues and now they’re just fine.”

During Charli’s confessional, one of The D’Amelio Show producers alluded to a situation that occurred during “that three months of Dancing With the Stars.” Seemingly holding back tears, Charli said she “didn’t know where to begin,” before the episode came to an end.
