Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher have been called out by Christina Ricci after they sent letters of support for their That ‘70s Show co-star Danny Masterson. Ahead of Masterson being sentenced to 30-years-to-life in prison for raping two women 20 years ago, the Hollywood couple wrote to the judge to “vouch” for their friend’s character. Following backlash, Kunis and Kutcher posted an apology video on Instagram, but many found it to be disingenuous and poorly worded.

Ricci, star of the Addams Family and Yellowjackets, voiced her criticism in an Instagram story. Although she didn’t mention anyone by name, her post seemed to be in direct response to Kunis and Kutcher’s letter.

Ricci wrote, “So sometimes people we 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.”

“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 continued.

Adding that “unfortunately I’ve known lots of ‘awesome guys’ who were lovely to me but have been proven to be abusers privately. 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.”

Ricci, in her powerful message, has shown what being a true ally is. Believing victims is not a pick and choose ethos, it’s one we must live by; if your support wavers when it’s your friend/father/brother/sister/mother/cousin who is accused, then that is not support. Ricci, for example, knew Johnny Depp since she was a child and they starred in multiple films together. And yet, she still (very publicly) supported Amber Heard during the Depp v Heard trial.
