LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 'The Addams Family' actress Christina Ricci has received praise for her loaded social media post that appeared to tear Ashton Kutcher apart.
The 43-year-old Hollywood actress is believed to have criticized Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis for pleading for leniency when the judge sentenced their former 'That '70s Show' co-star Danny Masterson for rape.
What did Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis say?
Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis reportedly claimed in a video uploaded to Instagram that they are "aware of the pain" they caused by pleading for Masterson before his rape conviction sentencing, as per CNN.
They allegedly apologized for letters they wrote supporting a co-star who had allegedly committed rape.
Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis explained in the video why they petitioned the judge for leniency after their former co-star was sentenced for raping two women.
Did Christina Ricci criticize Ashton Kutcher?
In a long Instagram story post, Ricci wrote, "So sometimes people we have 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’t mean they didn’t do the horrible things and to discredit the abused is a crime," the 'Wednesday' actress added.
"People we know as ‘awesome guys’ can be predators and abusers. It’s tough to accept but we have to. If we say we support victims-women, children, men, boys – then we must be able to take this stance," she stated.
"Unfortunately I’ve known lots of ‘awesome guys’ who were lovely to me who have been proven to be abusers privately," the 'Pan Am' star went on.
"I’ve also had personal experience with this. Believe victims. It’s not easy to come forward. It’s not easy to get a conviction," she added.
Fans hail Christina Ricci for 'positively wrecking' Ashton Kutcher
"Here's to Christina Ricci for positively WRECKING Aston Kutcher and Mila Kunis for tacitly denying Danny Masterson is a serial rapist (and giving a half assed non apology) without ever addressing them directly. A queen," a fan tweeted.
Another fan praised Ricci and said, "What a queen. God bless her. Not aggressive, not mean, she just states a fact while being correct and polite."
"Acerbic politeness is key," said a fan. Another user wrote, "Believe victims. Period."
"I'm so proud of Christina Ricci for standing up for what's right and speaking out against injustice. We need more people like her in the world!" noted another.
