The article states 50 others wrote in support of this rapist. They should all be ashamed of themselves.
“Other stars from “The 70’s Show” who wrote to the judge include Debra Jo Rupp, who played Kitty on the sitcom, and Kurtwood Smith, who played Red. Masterson’s famous family members wrote letters in his support, including his siblings Alanna Masterson (“The Walking Dead”), Christopher Masterson (“Malcolm In the Middle”), Jordan Masterson (“Last Man Standing”), as well as his brother-in-law Billy Baldwin and his wife, the actor and model, Bijou Phillips. Other Hollywood names who wrote to the judge include actor Giovanni Ribisi; Jim Patterson, creator of Netflix’s “The Ranch;” Masterson’s former publicist, Jenni Weinman; and TV director, David Trainer, who worked on “The 70’s Show” and “The Ranch.””
Whelp, whole list of people who can get fucked and whose work I will not be patronizing.
The only person in that show I had any respect for as an actor was Kurtwood Smith.
So much for that.
Interesting that it doesnt say if Topher Grace (who played Eric in that 70s show) or Laura Perpon (who played Donna) wrote in support of Masterson. Either the article left it out for brevity or they didnt write in support because they dont support Masterson. Would be interested to see what the situation is there
I'm glad Jim Gaffigan doesn't appear to be on that list.
