Ashton Kutcher Steps Down from Nonprofit Amid Controversy Over Masterson Letter
Ashton Kutcher has resigned as chairman of Thorn, the nonprofit organization he co-founded to combat child sexual abuse, following backlash over his support for a more lenient sentence for his former "That '70s Show" co-star, Danny Masterson, who was convicted of rape. Kutcher's resignation comes after he and his wife, Mila Kunis, wrote letters to a judge seeking leniency for Masterson, sparking controversy. In his resignation letter, Kutcher expressed regret for his actions and stated that he did not want his error in judgment to distract from the organization's efforts and the children they serve.
