Fans Remind Ashton Kutcher And Mila Kunis They Aren’t ‘Forgiven’ As They Return To Red Carpet At Golden Globes

Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis’ past controversies continue to cast a long shadow over their reputation. 

Once celebrated as one of Hollywood's favorite couples, fan sentiment toward the duo shifted after they publicly supported actor Danny Masterson and had ties with rapper Sean Diddy Combs.

With Kutcher reportedly working to reignite his career and the pair making a recent appearance at the 2026 Golden Globes, they seem eager to reclaim affection. However, fans are unwilling to overlook the controversies that trail them.

Kutcher and Kunis put on a very loved-up scene as they walked the red carpet for the January 11 event. 

The “Black Swan” actress stunned in a black-and-white Carolina Herrera strapless gown featuring a floral pattern, corset bodice, and pleated tea-length skirt. She completed the look with a sleek side-part hairstyle.

The “That ’70’s Show” actor opted for a classic monochrome ensemble, wearing a black suit paired with a shirt and tie. The pair cuddled and laughed as they posed for photos.

One of the snapshots captured a sweet moment in which Kutcher looked adoringly at his wife as she smiled for the cameras. 

This outing marked their first awards show appearance in years since the 2023 Breakthrough Prize Ceremony.

The couple’s return to the red carpet has since sparked buzz among fans who reminded them that they were not “forgiven.”

One fan wrote, “Who wants to tell them we still haven't forgiven them for supporting Danny Masterson?” Another echoed the sentiment, adding that Kutcher and Kunis "aren't royalty anymore." 

A third user recalled the backlash, writing, "I thought they were excommunicated for being rape apologists." Meanwhile, another individual expressed disappointment, noting that they once liked Kunis but now believe she "supports a rapist."

The criticism continued, with one person asking, "What happened to the hole they've been living in since the Danny Masterson and P. Diddy mishaps?"A fifth questioned, "Are they forgiven yet?"

While one person remarked that the pair are not “good people,” another slammed the Golden Globes for inviting the couple despite having “supported a rapist.” 

A last commenter wrote, “Oh. They are back? They thought it was safe to protect rapists and stand up for them.”

Ashton Kutcher And Mila Kunis' PDA Previously Labeled As ‘PR’ Stunt 

This isn't the first time their public affection has been met with skepticism.

Last August, The Blast reported that Kutcher and Kunis attended the Backstreet Boys' summer residency concert, just months after Kutcher reportedly voiced fears about being falsely implicated by Sean "Diddy" Combs.

A video circulating online showed the pair singing "I Want It That Way" to each other. As they hugged and sang out the lyric "You are my fire," many fans were unconvinced. 

Social media users quickly branded the moment "cringe", "forced", and a calculated publicity stunt to help repair their image following their alleged ties to Combs.

Ashton Kutcher Is Making Moves To Rebuild His Reputation

Despite backlash, the “Two and a Half Men” actor is reportedly working to win back public favor. The 47-year-old actor is set to star in Ryan Murphy's upcoming FX series “The Beauty,” premiering later this month. 

Per The Blast, a source disclosed that the “Just Married” star is hoping that “people can forgive and forget the shameful things he's been involved in over the years." 

In addition to acting, Kutcher joined the board of Soho House in August as part of a $2.7 billion investment deal led by MCR Hotels and Apollo. Insiders have suggested the move was partly strategic, aimed at restoring his standing in Hollywood.

Karen Keser, CEO of Kessler PR Group, described Kutcher’s investment as a "smart move," highlighting that reputational damage is often temporary and can be redeemed with a mix of investments, successful projects, and connections.

Ashton Kutcher And Mila Kunis’ Marriage Becomes A Cause Of Concern For Friends 

While Kutcher moves to reclaim his place in Hollywood, his friends have since become worried about the state of his marriage with Kunis and are urging him to put in more effort. 

Per The Blast, sources say Kutcher's increasing focus on business, particularly his deep involvement in the tech world, has left little time for a social life.

Insiders claim he has distanced himself from longtime friends and rarely socializes, a change Kunis allegedly finds "isolating." 

One source explained, "These are people they've known for years, and suddenly Ashton doesn't have time for them. All his energy is tied up with these investments and befriending these tech bros."
