Ashton Kutcher: "Danny Masterson is NOT a Harm to Society" | Aaron Smith-Levin

the [ __ ] is their lawyer I know right like all that money lack of brain well that's the thing they didn't have a lawyer in this it was actually Danny's Mom Carol who came to them personally and asked them to do the letter there was a meeting that occurred um with Jane do1 Danny Masterson alfredy Johnson who's a public Scientologist um and some people from the office of special Affairs it was almost like a summit it was supposed to be where Danny was supposed to come in and he was supposed to apologize to J one and this was being organized because J one was like all I won like if he would just apologize and the fact that the scient that the office of special Affairs even attempted to facilitate something like this is proof to anyone in Scientology that the office of special Affairs determined that Danny masteron committed and they were just trying to smooth it over so that it didn't go legal and it didn't become a big flap and a big bad bad PR for Scientology and what happened is Danny Masterson came into that that meeting and he couldn't just be sincere he was cracking jokes he was laughing he was insulting and it was actually one of the scientologists who called an end to the meeting said that's enough that we're not this is too much get out of here wow and what's crazy about how the whole Danny Masterson thing ended up rolling out and him getting convicted and in prison is that at any step of the way the scientologists involved were willing to settle it internally if it was just handled correctly to their satisfaction and this is what I mean when I say Scientology over and over again turns its own members against it by just refusing to treat people with Humanity that's the fact that that you know someone all they could want want in a situation which is like one of the worst things that happen to somebody to be assaulted like that and and all they're asking for is just someone to show Contrition for it in a private setting like that's their bar and he can't even do that that's a [ __ ] up in I mean he's [ __ ] up for doing these things in the first place but that is an extra [ __ ] up individual that is someone I don't know that there's I I don't know how you can come back as a person it's true and um and and it's especially true that he is a unique screwed up individual it's not it's not just oh he knew Scientology would protect him so he was raping Scientologist this guy raped non scientologists this guy raped people in multiple States and multiple countries and multiple decades this this guy is is a danger to society it wasn't just Scientology it wasn't just the protection he had as a Scientology celebrity he raped non- scientologists yeah why why do you think people like I mean we saw the famous I think it was like a letter from Ashton Kutcher and mun like why why why do you think people like that defended him even even after he finally got found guilty well the number one reason is they didn't think anybody were going to find out about it yeah good luck with that that they truly did not know those letters were going to be admitted into the record and would be available to the public who the [ __ ] is their lawyer I know right like all that money lack of brain well that's the thing they didn't have a lawyer in this it was actually Danny's Mom Carol who came to them personally and asked them to do the letter I mean how pissed how pissed is Ashton now you know oh my god wow um but there was also a a photo that came out a few weeks ago of Ashton and Mila with one of Danny's Brothers he's the one that looks the least like oh what's oh I forget all the brothers names um but but but Ashton is still close with the family you know that's crazy yeah yeah I that that would be a line for me like like if a friend of mine committed rape that they're just they're not my friend anymore I know this is not very hard and a Ashton knew janeo 3 H how it's one it's even worse it's one thing if it's I mean I don't know if you realize this it it's at least eight victims that have come forward he was only charged with three he was only convicted for two yeah but there were victims who were allowed to testify at the trial about Danny raping them even though he they he wasn't being charged with those rapes they were called past bad acts Witnesses was that because of the statute of limitations on their claims that they weren't charged officially yeah oh yeah well the prosecutor it could have been a number of reasons but yes the statute of limitations is one of them one of the victims was in Canada the rape occurred in Canada at a rap party for a for a film and she didn't even know who Danny Masterson was or that he was an actor it was when she sat down and watched the movie Dracula 2000 then she said that's the guy who raped me oh my God she didn't know he was an actor she didn't know he was a Scientologist so like all the conspiracy theories that Scientology has has tried to spend like Leah Remy orchestrated all of these women to make these complaints or former scientologists are out to get Danny masteron Katherine kathern Jenkins wasn't a Scientologist she didn't even know who Danny Masterson was she didn't know what Scientology was and um yeah so the guy is the guy is really sick and that's it do I remember this correctly I don't want to don't want to over empathize with someone like that but he was born into it right yes so I wonder I wonder if part of the the power that also getting the career he ended up having you know that kind of like you have this this feeling of invulnerability and man of Steal I can do whatever I want to whoever I want however I want because that's how it's been told I can do it my whole life now you grew up in it and you're not running around here committing acts like that but then he he gets like a publicly powerful type position too and it it's like you're almost drunk on that and you feel like like I I genuinely wonder if when he did these things if if if his brain was even functional enough from a moral standpoint to realize what he was doing a and be that it was this was like the worst thing you could do is he was drugging the women so it's and it's like that's where you get to it's it's obviously like premeditated but like you see some of these guys they don't their brain doesn't function like ours and they're like oh yeah this is fine what was Bill Cosby L like oh just go sleep a little bit it's a great comparison if your brain is wired a certain way are they even truly aware I mean look I think they are aware but but also but they're W like are they thinking about the seriousness of what they're doing the same way we think about the seriousness of what they're doing one little anecdote comes to mind there's a clip that floating around of Danny Masterson on Conan O'Brien it's just the weirdest thing I've seen this and he goes hey my uh friend bod um Jenna Jenna elfman's um husband bod Elfman uh bod likes to do an impression of me hey my name's Danny Masterson do you want to touch my balls it's like wait what made you think that was going to go over well on national TV that your friend impersonating you is asking people to touch your balls yeah like he didn't have the self-awareness to go like the crowd did not laugh yeah like the crowd was like it was like so that nervous like did he just say and and Conan was like oh so your friend uh like everyone was like why did you just do that there was no reason that was an unforced error there was no reason for you to say that and you go oh so like I don't know so what's going on in Danny's head where you're like people are going to think this is funny you know I don't know yeah [ __ ] up guy and and you know I I I mentioned it earlier too but
