Mila Kunis and her husband, Ashton Kutcher, have faced criticism for their support of their friend Danny Masterson, who has been sentenced to 30 years in prison over two rape cases. The controversy has drawn attention to a past statement made by Kunis in which she criticized Will Smith for his Oscars slap incident but has been supportive of Masterson.
A Reddit post highlighted an old interview in which Mila Kunis commented on the Will Smith slap incident at the 2022 Academy Awards. At the time, Kunis said, “The idea of leading by example only makes sense when you actually have someone to lead. We have our tiny little tribe here at home, and never once do I want to tell them to do something if I’m not willing to do it myself.”
Kunis continued, “Not standing up, to me, was a no-brainer, but what was shocking to me was how many people did stand up.” She added, “I thought, ‘Wow, what a time we’re living in that rather than do what’s right, people focus on doing what looks good.’ It’s insane to me.”
The Reddit users were critical of Kunis’s previous comments and her support for Danny Masterson. Some expressed their disappointment in her for minimizing the pain of Masterson’s alleged victims and defending him despite his convictions for rape. Others criticized the inconsistency in her stance, comparing her reaction to the Oscars slap incident with her support for Masterson.

One user called her remarks “disgusting,” while another found it “mind-boggling” that Kunis and Kutcher would defend Masterson despite his convictions. Some users argued that celebrities often view themselves as a separate caste and are lenient in their judgments of fellow celebrities.
Mila Kunis had previously written a letter in support of Danny Masterson, highlighting his interactions with his daughter and portraying him as a loving and responsible parent. However, her support for Masterson has generated controversy and criticism, given the serious nature of the charges against him and his convictions.
