Amy Schumer deleted a post on social media where she made a joke about Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis' letters of support for convicted rapist Danny Masterson. Schumer had previously made a post on Nicole Kidman which many felt was offensive. Schumer was accused of cyberbullying Kidman in the post.

After being called out, Schumer posted an apology over her post on Kidman and took a jab at the character letters that Kutcher and Kunis sent to a judge ahead of Masterson's September 7 hearing. Masterson, who featured in That 70's Show, was sentenced to 30 years to life in prison.

Ashton Kutcher, Mila Kunis apologise for character letters they wrote in support of Danny Masterson

"I want to apologise to all the people I hurt posting a photo of Nicole Kidman and alluding to her being an alien," Schumer wrote in the since-deleted post. "I will be asking the cast of that 70s show to write letters advocating for my forgiveness," she added, before adding the hashtag, "#takingtimetoheal."

Schumer's now-deleted post on Kidman was shared on X, previously known as Twitter, and fans criticised her in the comments.

"You know you're down bad when Amy Schumer of all people uses you to score points," one user wrote on social media.

Another user wrote, "Just when I thought she couldn't get more tasteless."

"Why is she doing ‘fun’ in such a serious matter?" another user questioned. "She knows people don't like her idk why she's cracking jokes," one user wrote.

Danny Masterson case

Masterson was sentenced to 30 years to life in prison after being convicted on two counts of forcible rape in May. The judge who sentenced theactor received nearly 50 letters of support from various individuals, including Kunis and Kutcher.

Kutcher, who starred alongside Masterson in That '70s Show, called the actor a "role model" in his letter.

"I attribute not falling into the Hollywood life of drugs directly to Danny," Kutcher explained. "Any time that we were to meet someone or interact with someone who was on drugs, or did drugs, he made it clear that that wouldn't be a good person to be friends with. And for me, that was an implication that if I were to do drugs, he wouldn't want to be friends with me, which is something I never would want to risk or jeopardize. I am grateful to him for that positive peer pressure."

After Masterson was sentenced to life imprisonment, Kutcher and Kunis appeared in a video and apologised for sending character letters to the court and claimed the letters were not intended to "undermine" Masterson's victims' testimony.

"We are aware of the pain that has been caused by the character letters that we wrote on behalf of Danny Masterson," Kutcher said in the video, while Kunis added, "We support victims. We have done this historically through our work and will continue to do so in the future."
