Mila Kunis was just spotted out and about in LA for the first time in two months, A.K.A., since the Danny Masterson scandal. The actress and her husband, Ashton Kutcher, were in hot water back in October when they defended the disgraced That 70s Show actor with character letters to the judge overseeing his rape trial.

Masterson was sentenced last month to 30 years to life in prison for the rape of two women in the early 2000s. Though Kunis and Kutcher did release an apology video, fans are not usually the type to forgive and forget. Keep reading for more information.

Mila Kunis Seen In Public For The First Time Since Scandal

The mother-of-two was seen in LA in a festive ensemble: gray skinny jeans, white sneakers, and a red, white, and green holiday sweater featuring little red pickup trucks toting around Christmas trees. The star had an iced coffee in hand, a black face mask covering her mouth, a black crossbody bag on her person, and held her phone up to her ear.

Kunis and her husband have made it a point to keep a low profile since they received immense backlash for supporting their "dear friend," as they called him in their character letters. Mila wrote in hers that she "could sense his innate goodness and genuine nature" from the moment she met him, specifying that she "wholeheartedly vouch for Danny Masterson's exceptional character."

Mila & Ashton Apologize & Take Time For 'Personal Reflection'

In a video posted to Ashton Kutcher's Instagram on Sept. 9th, he and Mila apologize for "the pain that has been caused by the character letters" they wrote. They continued by clarifying that they did not intend to "undermine the testimony of the victims or re-traumatize them in any way."

Soon after, Ashton Kutcher stepped down from the anti-child trafficking organization that he co-founded in 2012: Thorn. He posted a resignation letter on the Thorn website saying that he "cannot allow my error in judgement distract from our efforts and the children we serve."

He also wrote, "After my wife and I spent several days of listening, personal reflection, learning, and conversations with survivors and the employees and leadership at Thorn, I have determined the responsible thing for me to do is resign as Chairman of the Board, effective immediately."

"Victims of sexual abuse have been historically silenced and the character statement I submitted is yet another painful instance of questioning victims who are brave enough to share their experiences," he concluded the letter by saying.
