Amy Schumer has slammed Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis in her apology for mocking Nicole Kidman.
The ‘Trainwreck’ star, 42, sparked a huge backlash when she shared a photograph on Instagram of ‘Big Little Lies’ star Kidman, 56, watching the US Open on Saturday in New York, and implied she looked like a robot by captioning the snap: “This how human sit.”
After being accused of “cyberbullying” Kidman, the comedian removed the image and said sorry – but took aim at Kutcher and Kunis in her apology.
In another now-deleted Instagram post shared on Monday, Schumer mocked the support letters the couple wrote in defence of their former ‘That ’70s Show’ star Danny Masterson, who was convicted of rape in May.
Schumer said: “I want to apologise to all the people I hurt posting a photo of Nicole Kidman and alluding to her being an alien.
“I will be asking the cast of ‘That ’70s Show’ to write letters advocating for my forgiveness. #takingtimetoheal.”
Schumer’s since-deleted apology was shared by fans on social media.
It referenced the backlash facing Kutcher, 45, and Kunis, 40, for supporting Masterson.
Before the disgraced actor, 47, was sentenced last week to 30 years to life in prison for two rapes, the couple praised him in letters to the judge.
Kutcher said in his note: “As a friend, Danny has been nothing but a positive influence on me.”
His wife hailed Masterson’s “grace and empathy” and said: “Danny has consistently displayed a profound sense of responsibility and care for those around him.”
After the letters went public on Friday, the duo issued a clarification for the actions on Instagram.
Kunis said: “We support victims. We have done this historically through our work and will continue to do so in the future.”
But she and Kutcher have been slammed by stars including Kathy Griffin, 62, who took to TikTok to tell how she tried to have her brother Ken arrested for his alleged paedophilia.
Masterson was charged in June 2020 with raping three women, to which he pleaded not guilty the following year.
He was found guilty of two counts in May, while the third was dismissed due to a hung jury.
All three women, who were previously a part of the Church of Scientology, of which Masterson is a member, have accused the organisation of pressuring them to stay silent, which the church has denied.
