LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: ‘That '70s Show' star Topher Grace’s wife, Ashley Hinshaw, is receiving accolades from the netizens following Danny Masterson’s sentencing.
While a chunk of the cast members of 'That '70s Show’ voiced their support for Masterson by providing character letters, Grace - who played Eric Forman in the series - walked a different path as he did not provide anything to certify the 47-year-old actor’s nature.
Even the star couple Ashton Kutcher-Mila Kunis sent their letters to Judge Charlaine Olmedo in a display of solidarity toward Masterson so that he could get a lighter sentence.
However, following Masterson’s sentencing, Grace and his wife Hinshaw have been hailed as stars by the Internet for not supporting the actor, who has been accused of rape by at least three women.
Hinshaw, in fact, went a step ahead and showed her solidarity with the rape victims while purportedly shading the stars who sided with Masterson.
She posted a message on her Instagram Story, writing, "To every rape victim that is retraumatized by witnessing society debate and focus their attention on what is going to happen to the RAPIST... I see you."

The Internet showered Topher Grace's wife, Ashley Hinshaw, with love and admiration as she showed her solidarity with the rape victims, with many taking to X (formerly Twitter) to post about it.

Another summed up, "Meanwhile Ashley Hinshaw, wife of That 70s Show co-star Topher Grace’s just posted supporting “every rape victim” who has been retraumatised. Topher Grace was rumoured to have not been friendly with Danny Masterson and Ashton Kutcher while filming the sitcom."
"Ashley Hinshaw posted this on her story. The timing doesn’t seem to be coincidental. She’s married to Topher Grace of That 70’s Show. He never hung out much with the other cast members for reasons that, in hindsight, seem very understandable. Keep the focus where it belongs," wrote one more.
