Mila Kunis, 40, received for writing support letters for Danny Masterson’s rape case as the reason behind for his decision to depart.“After my wife and I spent several days of listening, personal reflection, learning, and conversations with survivors and the employees and leadership at Thorn, I have determined the responsible thing for me to do is resign as Chairman of the Board, effectively immediately,” Kutcher, 45, wrote on Friday. “I cannot allow my error in judgment to distract from our efforts and the children we serve.”“Victims of sexual abuse have been historically silenced and the character statement I submitted is yet another painful instance of questioning victims who are brave enough to share their experiences,” Kutcher continued. “This is precisely what we have all worked to reverse over the last decade.”“The mission must always be the priority and I want to offer my heartfelt apology to all victims of sexual violence and everyone at Thorn who I hurt by what I did,” he concluded. “And to the broader advocacy community, I am deeply sorry.

I remain proud of what we have accomplished in the past decade and will continue to support Thorn’s work. Thank you for your tireless advocacy and dedication to this cause.”Thorn published Kutcher’s open letter to the board announcing his resignation on its website.The Post has contacted reps for Kutcher and Kunis for comment.
