    Other than a bunch of his co-stars on that 70s show.

    The actress that played Kitty Foreman was so impressed that he made the other teenaged stars make a pact to stay away from weed that she’s willing to forgive a little rape. Which also checks out for the type of person he seems to be: very vocally “good” but a real piece of shit behind closed doors. It’s all PR.

    The actor that played Red Foreman thinks someone taking a leadership role amongst the group should forgive a bit of rape. Makes me wonder if it was more of a fucked up dynamic because that also fits the type that I’ve seen, but there was also a lot of money and a contract keeping them together, which gives that type power.

    Though Jackie and Micheal (can’t remember what the rest of them called him) also thought his rape wasn’t that bad.

    I can’t find any evidence that Topher Grace (Eric), Laura Prepon (Donna), or Wilmer Valderrama (Fez) ever supported him after the allegations came out. I wonder if they appreciated his “leadership” as much as the old ones did or started to see through him while they were still filming the show.

        Well that’s disappointing. No more from 70s show but Tara from walking dead and Francis from Malcolm in the Middle are on that list (and have the same last name, siblings/cousins?, plus another one that was on 40 year old virgin).

        Don’t really recognise anyone else from the list, though not really surprised he has the support of a producer from 2 and a half men.

      They are called narcissist and sociopaths. Who use ‘morals’ to hide their immorality.

        Either way, they are hilarious when they try to virtue signal to you using something you don’t even see as a virtue. Religion is a pretty common one (though he’s scientologist, which hits a bit differently and is probably why he depended on the next one…), along with support following various controversial laws (like “weed is illegal thus bad” in this case).

        All I know was that I wasn’t able to find any public statements she made in support of him regarding the rape charges or sentencing.

        But I did find information saying she quietly left scientology a while ago (and later talked about it) and that she dated Chris Masterson (who played Francis on Malcolm in the Middle and is on that IMDB list of Danny supporters), not Danny, though Danny did introduce her to Scientology.
