Great friends with Diddy
Wrote letter supporting the rapist Danny Masterson
Discovered his gf dead and didnt report it, leading to the killer killing again
How he treated his exes

Yet it gets my goat that he's still popular

I've not seen him in anything in years. Maybe if you stopped reading trashy news websites, you won't hear of him either.

Lurleenlumpkin79 · 04/08/2025 06:50

I don't think he's been relevant in the UK for many years. Not sure about in the U.S though.

I'm not a fan, but he absolutely did not find his girlfriend dead and fail to report it. As I said, not a fan, but that's a pretty awful lie to repeat about anyone.

FrostiesAreCornflakesForPeopleWhoCantFaceReality · 04/08/2025 07:04

He’s absolute scum. I don’t know about cancelled but he and Mila Kunis got a lot of well deserved backlash about those letters they wrote to the judge asking for leniency for Masterson.

There are rumours that he did find his then girlfriend murdered when he went to pick her up for a date and didn’t report it as he didn’t want the news so? to damage his career. He carried on to the party/premier/whatever like nothing happened. Which is chilling in itself if he really had just seen the dead body of someone he had been dating.

I’ve no strong opinions on the man but as far as im aware -

there’s no evidence he knew of Coombs behaviour?
he didn’t ignore a dead body. He knocked on the door?

id assume he genuinely believed his co star to be not guilty until proven otherwise that doesn’t make him guilty.
I don’t know anything about how he treats his ex’s but I thought he and Demi more had a positive relationship after split?

SouthernNights59 · 04/08/2025 07:41

YABU to think you can "cancel" anyone. It's a load of modern nonsense, and you sound ridiculous.

https://the-express.com/entertainment/celebrity-news/149975/ashton-kutcher-court-girlfriend-murdered-149975

There were lots of reports that he did find her but went to his agent rather than report it. The police didnt want to charge him because they didn't want to derail the case against the real killer

I’m confused - this article doesn’t say anything about him finding her? It says he was 2 hours late for a date, knocked on her door, she didn’t answer, he saw what he thought was a red wine stain on the carpet when he looked through the window, and then her housemate discovered her body the next day.

that aside, I don’t like him for the other things you’ve mentioned. Not seen him in anything for years anyway!

Francestein · 04/08/2025 07:47

Is he still popular? What's he done lately?

MiloMinderbinder925 · 04/08/2025 07:51

OP I can't find any evidence that he found someone dead and didn't report it.

SunnyViper · 04/08/2025 07:54

Not heard of him for years so pretty irrelevant.

Because the idea of "cancelling" someone is abborent. It's school playground politics and I can't take anyone seriously who thinks that such behaviour is appropriate.

100% - the whole cancel culture is pathetic.

knitnerd90 · 04/08/2025 08:07

He got a lot of flak for that letter.

"Cancel culture" is somewhat exaggerated. The real cancellation is when you are box office poison. You get cancelled when you stop making people money. If your views make people not watch you, you'll find yourself unemployable. Mel Gibson should be cancelled, but he hasn't been. Roman Polanski should have been cancelled.

However, I'm quite happy for the state of California to cancel Danny Masterson by putting him in prison for rape.

PangolinsareCool · 04/08/2025 08:09

The term 'cancelling someone' always makes me think of The Crucible.

Arthur Miller knew what he was writing about, people don't change. They still love a witch hunt and are happy to quickly point fingers.

Rumours? Okay…

its5oclocksomewheresurely · 04/08/2025 08:16

You can't "cancel" people.

HTH.

Firstholiday · 04/08/2025 08:16

Cancelled is probably the wrong term but he should be ashamed of that letter. I believe they are all scientologists so was forced to write it, but still, he makes me cringe with all the Diddy stuff

I agree. I don't believe for a second that he believed Masterton to be guilty.
There are literally hundreds of people who were friends with Coombs, who, again, no doubt didn't know the depths of his depravity.

I think Kutcher is a tosser, but that's irrelevant. I don't think he should be 'cancelled' because of trashy news reports.

Why do you 'believe' that? Where have you got your information from?

Flyswats · 04/08/2025 08:22

I think to be "cancelled" you actually have to do something officially considered "illegal".

Chipotlego · 04/08/2025 08:22

Possibly because hes not really relevant anymore anyway? If he secured a big project im sure plenty would actively not support it, but as it is he hasn't been or done anything much for years.

I think this is different given that most of “cancel culture” focuses on harms done to women and our recognition that the law is not equipped to protect us or give us justice. The fact is that most of these men do not get cancelled. Their careers continue. If anything, women in effect end up cancelled. I reckon that recent cancellation trials (Diddy) will result in women not reporting abuses against them.

knitnerd90 · 04/08/2025 08:23

Masterson is a scientologist, a well known one. I think his whole family is.

There's always been rumours he pulled Kutcher into it, but (and I checked) he's not officially. Mila Kunis is Jewish and practising.
