That 70s Show: What has cast said about Danny Masterson? - including Mila Kunis & Ashton Kutcher

That ’70s Show actor Danny Masterson has been handed life in prison after being found guilty of two counts of forcible rape earlier this year. Materson played Steven Hyde in the comedy series, alongside Topher Grace, Mila Kunis, and Ashton Kutcher.

The sentence was delivered by Judge Charlaine F Olmedo at Los Angeles County Superior Court on September 7. Masterson will serve two 15-year sentences consecutively, one for each charge and must also register as a sex offender. Masterson will be eligible for parole after serving 30 years.

The sitcom star was just 22 years old when the That 70s Show premiered in 1998. Other cast members were invited to reprise their roles in the recently released follow-up series, That ’90s Show. However, the 47-year-old was on trial at the time and wasn’t asked.

But has the That 70s Show cast spoken out about Masterson since? Here’s everything you need to know.

What has That 70s Show cast said about Daniel Masterson?

Ashton Kutcher

Kutcher spoke out about Masterson earlier this year, prior to his sentencing. In an interview Esquire, he said: “Ultimately, I can’t know.

“I’m not the judge. I’m not the jury. I’m not the DA. I’m not the victim. And I’m not the accused. And so, in that case, I don’t have a space to comment. I just don’t know,”

Kutcher added that he hoped Masterson would “be found innocent of the charges brought against him.”

Mila Kunis

Up to this point Mila Kunis hasn’t personally addressed Masterson’s behaviour. However, it was reported Kunis and husband Kutcher wrote ‘character letters’ on behalf of the disgraced actor before he was sentenced earlier this week.

Appearing in a video together, the pair addressed the reports with Kutcher saying the letters - which asked for leniency - ‘were intended for the judge to read and not to undermine the testimony of the victims or retraumatise them in any way.’

Mila Kunis added: “The letters were not written to question the legitimacy of the judicial system or the validity of the juries ruling.

“We support victims. We have done this historically through our work and will continue to do so in the future.”

Topher Grace

Topher Grace addressed Masterson’s behaviour during an interview with the Hollywood Reporter in 2018, he said: “You know, I hesitate to say that I never saw any of that behavior because I feel like it sounds like I’m defending him, but the truth is I never saw any of that stuff.”

He added: “I was, of that cast, the most boring. So when it came to going out after the show and partying, I just was boring.”

Wilmer Valderrama

The actor - who played foreign exchange student Pez in the sitcom - is yet address the Masterson situation publicly.

Laura Prepon

Prepon - who was married to Danny Masterson’s brother Christopher for eight years - has remained silence as the trial came to verdict. Prepon distanced herself from the Scientology and claims she hasn’t practiced since 2016. However, she has come under fire from fans who believed she may have been around Masterson and the Scientology community when the allegations were made.
