“Guilt”: Ashton Kutcher’s “Rough” Look Alongside Mila Kunis At Golden Globes Sparks Speculation
Ashton Kutcher’s Golden Globes appearance alongside wife Mila Kunis quickly became internet fodder, with viewers dissecting everything from his “disheveled” look to the couple’s noticeably “stiff” and serious demeanor.
The couple’s appearance at the 83rd annual event marked their first red carpet return together in three years, since the 2022 Oscars.
Highlights
- Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis’ Golden Globes return after three years sparked intense online scrutiny over his “rough” appearance on the red carpet.
- The appearance reignited backlash tied to their past controversies, including their support for convicted Danny Masterson and Kutcher’s longtime association with Diddy.
- As Kutcher gears up for a professional comeback next month, critics slammed the actor, while others questioned whether the high-profile return helped or worsened his public image.
However, within hours, social media was buzzing with wild theories, as fans questioned whether Kutcher’s “rough” appearance hinted at something deeper.
“They know that we know. The guilt on their faces,” wrote one suspicious social media user.

Ashton Kutcher joined his wife as the duo posed on the red carpet, appearing all smiles and putting up a loved-up, united front as they navigated their high-profile return to awards season following several controversies in recent years.
The couple coordinated in a monochromatic black-and-white look, with Kunis wearing a strapless, tea-length Carolina Herrera gown featuring a 1960s-style silhouette.

The No Strings Attached star, meanwhile, wore an all-black tailored tuxedo.
However, as images of the couple circulated online, the internet was far from forgiving, reigniting debate surrounding their recent controversies, including their support for former That ’70s Show co-star Danny Masterson and Ashton’s long-standing friendship with now-disgraced business mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs.

One critic bluntly wrote, “Anyone ask them about Danny Masterson?” while another echoed, “Who wants to tell them we still haven’t forgiven them for supporting Danny Masterson?”
A third added, “So, they are out in public again… I thought they were cancelled?!”
“Danny Masterson supporters why are they getting screen time at all.”
For those unfamiliar with the controversy, in May 2023, Masterson was convicted on charges of r*ping two women.

Following his conviction, Kutcher and Kunis both submitted character reference letters to the judge, with the 47-year-old actor describing Masterson as a “role model” and a man of “decency, equality, and generosity.”
Kunis, meanwhile, referred to him as an “outstanding role model” and an “exceptional older brother figure.”
When the letters became public in September of that year, the couple faced intense backlash for appearing to prioritize their personal friendship over the gravity of Danny’s crimes against women.

At the time, critics accused the couple of “himpathy,” arguing that they appeared to sympathize with the perpetrator rather than the victims.
As for the Diddy controversy, following the arrest and subsequent legal proceedings involving the 56-year-old rapper, Kutcher’s 2019 interview on Hot Ones resurfaced and went viral.

In the clip, when asked about “Diddy party stories,” Kutcher responded, “I’ve got a lot I can’t tell,” describing the memories as a “weird memory lane thing,” a remark many interpreted as suggesting prior knowledge of controversial events that later came to light.
Ashton was also known to be associated with Diddy for nearly two decades and attended, and in at least one reported instance in 2009, co-hosted, one of Diddy’s now-infamous “White Parties.”
“He going to visit his bestie Diddy after this?” one user questioned on X.

Another commented, “Ashton got that guilty Diddy look going on.”
“Oh he came out of hiding.. First sighting since Diddy got locked up.”
Viewers speculated that Ashton appeared to have “aged tremendously” during his time away from the spotlight, while others even questioned whether the couple had “showered” before attending the event, citing his “worn out” appearance and their past controversial comments about not washing their entire bodies with soap daily.
In 2021, while appearing on an episode of the Armchair Expert podcast, Kutcher stated that he washes his “armpits and [privates] daily, and nothing else ever,” using a bar of Lever 2000.
Regarding their children, Wyatt and Dimitri, the couple explained that they only bathe them when they can “see the dirt.”
Kunis admitted that she never established a daily bathing routine for them, even as newborns.
The couple believes that frequent soaping strips the body of its natural oils, which protect the skin.
One critic wrote, “Good God that man has aged tremendously. Is didn’t even know that was him until I saw her! She looks exactly the same! She hasn’t aged a day!”
A second added, “Where did Ashton’s face go… After looking at Ashton I suddenly feel very old.”
A third chimed in, “I saw Mila and wondered who the hell she was standing next to.. I didn’t even recognize Ashton,” while another in agreement remarked, “I was shocked how he aged.”
“I’ve heard so much about this couple. I hope they showered before this event,” one user commented, with another asking, “You think they showered tonight?”
Despite the controversy, Kutcher is set to make his professional comeback in Ryan Murphy’s upcoming FX series The Beauty, which is scheduled to premiere next month.
He has recently resumed promotional activity, including public appearances and renewed social media engagement, as he works to reintroduce himself to audiences.
“Really used to like her, but she supports a r*pist. Disgusting and any positive feelings I had di*d. (He’s always been creepy and awful),” one furious user wrote
