Why is Ashton Kutcher acting like he’s the victim?

wenn3577955

I was giving these Ashton Kutcher photos the side-eye yesterday, but I ended up not covering them. Mostly because I was feeling very punky, and I had to go to the doctor, but also because I absolutely loathe Ashton Kutcher at this point, and even looking at his dumb face fills me with rage. Anyway…

Two nights ago, Ashton was at the GQ Magazine Gentleman’s Ball. He went solo, because… I guess he couldn’t convince Demi Moore to come with him? Because it’s too soon for her to walk a red carpet with him, even though most of think she’s not going to leave him for his wandering dong? His date that night was Rabbi Philip Berg, the Kabbalah dude, and Ashton was wearing his wedding ring. Here’s Us Weekly’s take on the evening:

Ashton Kutcher wasn’t his usual wild and crazy self at the GQ Gentleman’s Ball at the Edison Ballroom in NYC on Wednesday night. Although wife Demi Moore was M.I.A. for the evening — where Kutcher was honored for the charity they cofounded, she certainly seemed to be on his mind. Kutcher, 33, wore his wedding ring, and when video monitors played footage of him with his wife of 6 years, the Two and a Half Men star watched with rapt, somber attention.

Instead of Moore, Kutcher’s date for the evening was Rabbi Philip Berg, his spiritual mentor and the current Dean of the worldwide Kabbalah Centre organization.

Sitting down for the dinner with Berg and other companions, Kutcher — rocked by the revelation of his September one-night stand with 22-year-old Sara Leal on the eve of his wedding anniversary with Moore, 48 — was in a atypically pensive, quiet mood. He lit up briefly when he removed his yarmulke to show off his long, shaggy hair to the table. For dinner that night? Salad, salmon, a roll — and a glass of wine, which he chugged within five minutes.

Honored for “Real Men Don’t Buy Girls,” Moore and Kutcher’s foundation which fights child prostitution worldwide, Kutcher took the podium for an emotional, passionate speech — peppered with more than a few expletives — as fellow stars Josh Lucas and Jason Sudeikis looked on.

“Our global issues are getting tougher,” Kutcher said during the speech. “A lot of the things we’re doing we can’t talk about, but I can promise you we’re fighting and we’re going to make a change, so that’s a little about what I’m working on.”

After his speech, Kutcher returned to his seat and stayed low-key and serious while The Roots played a 20-minute set during dessert.

Once the event was over, he and Berg encountered radio personality Craig Schwartz, a.k.a.. “Radio Man,” as they waited for their car outside the ballroom.

Schwartz lightly broached the topic of Kutcher’s marital woes, and whether he was with okay with “everything that’s going on.”

His reply: “Yeah. Yes. I am doing OK, thanks. Thank you for caring. Thank you for caring, really. It means a lot.”

[From Us Weekly]

Page Six had a different take on Ashton’s appearance – they claim Ashton “appeared emotional as he delivered a rambling speech, fighting back tears when he spoke of his fight against sex trafficking. He even managed to incomprehensibly weave in Moammar Khadafy’s death, his study of the Old Testament, social networking, global violence, the sloppy wool hat he was wearing and the Chicago Bears.” Just another sad day in the sad life of The Hot Tube Boner. Gross.

Here’s an honest-to-God question: why is Ashton Kutcher acting like HE is the victim in this situation? Like we’re all just being so MEAN to him because he boned some club girl in a hot tub on his anniversary. He’s such a child.

    because he’s wearing his Dumb Hat. i’d victimize myself in that hat too

  2. Maritza says:

    What’s with the hat? Did he forget to wash his hair? Ridiculous!

  3. Sue says:

    Not that I am taking his side at all, because I think he and idiot but….he may honestly think that he has done nothing wrong. Case in point: I worked with a doctor who didn’t consider a one night stand to be cheating because (a) he didn’t love the girl and (b) “it was just sex”. I completely disagree with this guy but men don’t view sex the same as women. It’s a fact – it’s wrong but it’s a fact.

  4. brin says:

    Because he’s douche boy.

  5. Rita says:

    Why is Ashton acting like the victim?

    Victimization is explained on page 6 of Chapter 3 in the book entitled “Perfecting Your Narcissism.

    (entitled? Interesting play on words)

  6. Quest says:

    Boo to fn hoooo. What a douche?

  7. islandwalker says:

    I really want that particular hat trend to die a firey death. No comment on the douche under it.

  8. Rhiley says:

    In a video on PoP Sugar he kind of does sound like he is trying to “choke back tears”(whatever) but it also seems pretty staged, like he too wants our respect and pity. I am sorry but I think his organization is bogus. I think it is a tax shelter and I think he is the WRONG person to try argue that he is a feminist and is fighting to save young women from sexual slavery. He uses women for his own sexual fetishes and then he pushes them aside. Kutcher, don’t go scoping a room and the comment that “None of the chicks are hot tub worthy,” and then stand up on a stage and claim that you are standing up for women. I hate that Nikon renewed their contract with this tool and I hope this stupid charity is dissolved.

  9. joancrawfordhangers says:

    GOD I CAN’T STAND HIM; AND YOU’RE GOING TO LAUGH YOUR ARSES OFF WHEN YOU SEE HIM “DESTROYED” AND SHAKEY AT THE PODIUM AT GQ BALL. THERE’S A CLIP ON YOUTUBE AND HE COMES OFF SOOOO FAKE AND DOUCHEY. XX JC

  10. Nev says:

    how come bill clinton and hilary never got this much flack?…he did the same thing, she is still with him…what is the difference?

  11. Talie says:

    He’s like most celebs with an ego, they want to use the media when *they* want to, but when the media uses them and exposes them…it becomes unbearable.

  12. Leticia says:

    He is a foolish acting baby-man.

  13. serena says:

    I’d like to slap some common sense in that douche’s face.

  14. lucy2 says:

    He’s acting like a victim either because he’s an immature, spoiled baby who thinks his life is so tough, or because he knows he did something wrong and feels guilty. It’s easier to push the blame elsewhere and play the media victim rather than admit to himself that he’s a douche who hurt people he supposedly loved.

  15. Fanny says:

    These guys spend a lifetime getting away with stuff due to their charms, intelligence, or good lucks etc.
    When the people who surround them finally get fed up and stop playing the game these guys are hurt and wounded emotionally because they have always been dicks but all of a sudden it’s not acceptable.

  16. MJ says:

    Bill and Hilary never got this much flak?! Are you kidding?! He was nearly impeached, for christ’s sakes! It was a really big deal!

  17. kieslwoski says:

    He is such a DOUCHE!!! I cannot stand to look at him. He is just plain stupid.

    It speaks volumes of Demi’s state of mind and desperation that she is stayong with him or for that matter even hooked up with him in the first place.

  18. Mikki says:

    What a clueless idiot he must be…or is playing such a game with everyone to come across that he is the injured party. Even more hypocritical to be “honored” for his so-called charity – it’s all a joke at this point. His only regret is that he got caught. Pull that ugly hat over your face dude so we don’t have to see the smirk…

  19. Pyewacket says:

    The only victim he is, is a fashion victim.

  20. WillyNilly says:

    Nev, Bill wasn’t trying to champion such a heavy topic and boohooing at an event on the topic knowing full well that we know he doesn’t really give a sh*t about women’s issues. And like the poster above me – hello, he was almost impeached for getting a bj. I think that’s a pretty big deal.

  21. Redd says:

    Why is he acting the victim? Because in his relationship he is the child and his wife is the adult; everyone knows it is the adult’s responsibility to take care of business.

  22. Diane says:

    Take off your stupid hat.

  23. The Original Mia says:

    Because he is and always has been a douchey, man-child.

  24. wunder says:

    It’s a classic defense mode: He’s acting like a victim in order to disguise his guilt and the fact that he got caught red handed cheating. . . He’s trying to ‘raise reasonable doubt’ but of course, it’s not working very well for the baby-man.

  25. Jayna says:

    He comes across goofy. I am sure his heart is in the right place but . . .

  26. Vanden says:

    Maybe it’s because no one knows the troubles his and Demi’s marriage was in. Maybe it’s because he’s been made into the bad guy and everyone hates him for a moment of weakness. Maybe it’s because he’s genuinely sorry but no one is going to let him forget it in a long long time.

    Or maybe he’s just a whiny douche. I know what i’d bet my money on

  27. Rita says:

    @M1 #16

    Not to put too fine a point on it but he was impeached. The Senate refused to prosecute the House’s impeachment.

  28. Ashley says:

    Or maybe the tabs have been right the last three or four years when they said the marriage is for show only now, they both checked out of it long ago, specifically Demi?

  29. Loralei says:

    What a slime ball.

  30. Cheyenne says:

    “Oh poor misunderstood me, women don’t understand that a man has needs, I didn’t do anything wrong, why’s everybody picking on me, yeah, yadda yadda…” Maybe a swift kick in the cojones will wake him up. Dirtbag.

  31. Nev says:

    no no, I meant morally…why didnt hilary get any flak for staying with it and seeing it through, like demi is getting?? (if that’s what she is doing, who knows?)..it seems so…I know what he did was douchey…perhaps he is too immature after-all.

  32. Victoria says:

    “He lit up briefly when he removed his yarmulke to show off his long, shaggy hair to the table.”

    uh confused jew over here. that grey beanie hippie cap is a yarmulke?

  33. Violet says:

    Because he’s probably used to doing whatever he wants and not having to deal with consequences. This time, there’s been a lot of publicity — all of it bad — about the fact that he had unprotected sex with a stranger on his wedding anniversary.

    I believe he and Demi have an understanding, but that he is expected to be discreet and safe; he was neither, so Demi is so upset with him that she might actually leave him this time.

    Plus I’m pretty sure his new bosses are none too happy with all the drama. At this point, they want someone stable and Ashton seems to be going off the rails.

    People have been talking about whether Demi’s weightloss is due to addiction, but maybe it’s Ashton that has the problem? His rambling monologues make me wonder if he’s on drugs. That would also explain his completely reckless behavior lately.

    Last but not least, there is the possibility that he has fathered a baby with January Jones. Or some other skank, since Ashton hasn’t been using condoms.

  34. the original bellaluna says:

    What is with this asshat’s hats? Having a bad hair day, fine. Having a bad hair YEAR – get it cut!

    Mayhaps he’s got some Blohan blood in him? “It’s not my fault. Everyone is being MEAN to me. Everything is FINE.”

    Sound familiar?

  35. Kathy says:

    Immature, spoiled brat, who for some strange reason thinks his dirty, creepy looking, old stocking hat is cool

  36. JM says:

    Because he’s a douchebag who got caught with his pants down that’s why…
    and he is sending Two and a Half Men to it’s grave too.

  37. Feebee says:

    Because the best defense is attack.

  38. kas says:

    I have no doubt he genuinely sees himself as a victim. He said as much in his little Pity Party Video posting about “truth in media” he sent out.

    He crafted a nice little image for himself that he was convinced enough people bought (and plenty did, I guess) until that stupid slut had to go and blab about all the extra sex he was having.

  39. Kloops says:

    Because he has the emotional maturity of a 14 year old. No offense to 14 year olds.

  40. ZenB!tch says:

    Because Demi is the Cougar and he is the Cub?

    I still don’t get what she ever saw in him. Younger is not equivalent to better. Then again she was married to that icky old Bruce Willis so older was also not better.

    Demi – get thee to a therapist you need help picking a man. Younger, older, same age – not an issue but you deserve a DECENT man – all women do.

  41. xxodettexx says:

    @Sue: “I completely disagree with this guy but men don’t view sex the same as women. It’s a fact – it’s wrong but it’s a fact.”

    i politely disagree with your statment in that it isnt a “fact” so much as an “culturally-accepted opinion” that is based on our sexist culture… as a girl with life-long guy friends i can assure you that not ALL guys view sex in any ONE way… yes, there are some guys out there that dont find anything wrong with hooking up or one night stands – but there are also some very caring sensitive guys who believe that sex is ONLY for them and the person they love… same could be said for girls – there are some out there that DO manage to have sexual relationships without emotional attachments…

  42. Diane says:

    This guy wears a suit and that raggedy hat. God, I’d like to slap that face right off his head.

  43. gg says:

    He opted to wear the hat because he knows he’s a douche, and thought he might as well look the part and own it. Imagine how much more respectable he would have looked if he’d done his hair nicely and acted normal that night. People would assume he’d gotten over it all. But people are looking at Demi and shaking their heads about the douchebag that done that to her.

    Also, Re the crying during his speech – that’s nothing but chanelling his shame from the hot tub incident and using it for acting purposes.

  44. skuddles says:

    Was the Rabbi there to ensure the wandering dong didn’t accidentally fall into the clutches of another hooker um I mean “party girl”??? Love the irony of Kutcher supporting the “Real Men Don’t Buy Girls” Foundation. Of course they don’t buy them – they only screw girls that someone else buys for them (as per reports that a promoter pays chicks like Leal to “party” with rich dudes…

  45. Orange Cone says:

    you know very well he feels that it’s everyones fault for not being able to resist him. it’s Demi’s fault for not being 20-something. he is god’s gift to us, Ladies!

  46. poopie says:

    smug arrogant narcissitic creepazoid no talent douche who needs to fall from grace while we all watch!!! umm.. he’s ruined 2 1/2 men.. that’s a START !

  47. ??? says:

    I’d still do him.

  48. GirlyGirl says:

    Better question, Why is Ashton acting at all?

    He’s terrible at it

  49. mary simon says:

    Two and a Half Men will fail with Ashton – the ratings are already down. Bring back the first douche, Charlie Sheen, and get higher ratings than ever. The curiosity factor alone would pull in a lot of viewers – I know I would watch, and I never watched the show before.

    If Ashton was done with Demi and wanted to sleep with other women, he should have given her the consideration and dignity of a quiet divorce, before he started sleazing around.

  50. irishserra says:

    If Demi leaves him, maybe he and Chris Brown can become roomies. They can sit around and feel sorry for themselves.

  51. Misspdx says:

    Amen to Rhiley and Redd. My thoughts exactly. I had an Ashton. Jerk would blame me for cheating and then cry about it later. I bet Ashton was a mamas boy before he got with Demi. I still haven’t had a bf since my ex but ge taught me what I DIDN’T want in a relationship, that’s for sure! I smile with relief knowing besides our son I never have to deal with that tools emotional crap again. Man-babies are simply..pathetic

  52. Misspdx says:

    And another thing.. Age has NOTHING to do with it. All these people saying Demi should’ve known because of the age diff he would cheat.. Well guess what.. 40 .. 50.. EVEN 60+ year old men cheat with 20something women!! And we all know this. Blaming Demi as if she should have just accepted this would happen from the jump is ridiculous!! Blaming her for not walking? Well that’s her decision too.. I say eff it.. Be poly amourous .. It is JUST sex.. But that’s just me. And a man-baby like Ashton would never be able to handle that.. He would cry the minute another dude touched his wife!! Walk Demi !! Because at the end of the day no therapy in the world will cure that man baby of his ego … Only true suffering will bring about that change in him…. I doubt he’ll find it in this lifetime

  53. butreallytho says:

    So frigging what? All you hypocrites see fit to judge. Who knows why things happen they just happen. Everyone is prone to error no one is exempt. We don’t know what goes on in their house or their bedroom they are not Gods they are actors HUMAN actors and they are both beautiful guess being beautiful doesn’t solve all problems They are jus

  54. butreallytho says:

    So frigging what? All you hypocrites see fit to judge. Who knows why things happen they just happen. Everyone is prone to error no one is exempt. We don’t know what goes on in their house or their bedroom they are not Gods they are actors HUMAN actors and they are both beautiful guess being beautiful doesn’t solve all problems! They are just going through what we all go through! Ups and downs and don’t 4get sexual urge is stronger than the fear of death! Hence the lack of using a condom. Oh well they still rich Demi can buy a new one LOL!

  55. ezra says:

    Yes he is a child and Demi should never have married him. She should have gotten over her vanity and narcissism and married a proper man closer to her own age.

  56. Zigggy says:

    His cheating has really hurt his brand, I’m guessing. Every time I see him in a commercial I’m like “f*ck off you cheating douche- now I can never buy a Nikon!” Terrible spokesman, they should really rethink that.

  57. Joanna says:

    He seems to play the same character on 2 and a half men to what he played on 70s show. I used to think it was an act; but maybe he’s just playing himself. b/c he sure seems like an immature kid not an adult.

  58. I.want.shoes says:

    So, how much longer before he checks into rehab for sex addiction?

    And he was honored for that stupid “man do their own laundry” campaign (as part of the “real men don’t buy girls”) ?! Because honestly, that thing was just embarrassing.

  59. Kelly says:

    I really don’t understand why people actually care if he did cheat. I don’t. Its between his wife and him. I like him. He will probably never win an Academy award, but he is entertaining in what he does.

  60. Lea says:

    Sue – In my experience, men who say they don’t consider a one-night stand to be cheating suddenly become a lot less liberal when you ask them if that means it’s okay if their wives go out and bang other guys so long as it’s “just sex”.

    In that scenario, these guys start seeing extramarital sex the same way women do. Suddenly, it’s not “just sex”, it’s a “really big deal”.

  61. Dani says:

    So this is the way he has chosen to play it. Between the hat and that attitude, he is now officially King of the Douches. Bad PR move.

    @3 Sue – You are absolutely right. Double standard that it is. When women cheat, it is worse because women tend to cheat for emotional reasons and thus the betrayal is worse. So the theory goes. But man or woman, it sucks to be on the other end of a cheating spouse.

  62. Callumna says:

    For real, men — emphasis on men rather than idiots or man-boy-douches– do see it as cheating.

    Egotistical narcissists say that they have needs and “all men think like I do.” Thank God they’re liars trying to drag everyone to their level.

    I would not say anyone who works for one a$$hole means they’re qualified to speak ill of all the good men out there.

    I’m proud to say I know plenty of good men and I’ll vouch for that.

  63. wunder says:

    This is a very immature man.

    Demi should dump his sorry ass and not enable him to be such a jerk.

  64. N.D. says:

    Have you even considered that they might have been on a break when that shit went down? They were quite a bit less happy with each other for awhile already before that bathtub incident. I think they’re going through serious crisis that wasn’t really triggered by this particular one night stand.

    He might be a cheater but it’s the first time he’s ever been caught and it seems he wasn’t exactly hiding it. He isn’t that much of an idiot and pretty familiar with how internet and tabloids work these days so it’s possible that he had a valid excuse – ongoing separation.

  65. Jacqueline says:

    He is probably playing the victim card because he wants other people to take resposibility for his actions. There is power in the victim card and its not pity and sympathy. The recipient can choose to wish best of luck and walk away or stay there and pick up the pieces of what he/she did. Some people may not even be a true victim, just in their own minds (ex: narcissists).

    When you fart in a hot tub, no one can like really tell cause it already has all these like bubbles…. awesome

  67. whitedaisy says:

    @Peachy
    HAHAHAHAH!

    @Violet
    Very thoughtful and articulate post. I totally agree with all.

  68. ManicPixieDreamGirl says:

    WAAAAAAAAAH! I feel so bad for him! NOT!!!!!!

    PS: Wearing a beanie with a designer suit makes him look EXTRA douchey.

  69. Jamie says:

    I think that he has been victimized in a sense. Just like it’s sleazy and messed up for a guy to kiss and tell, it’s sleazy and messed up for tarts to run to the press just because they slept with a celeb. A consenting, private encounter is not every vapid girl’s opportunity to get on the cover of a magazine. With a few exceptions, it should stay private.
    If he cheated, he was wrong, but hot tub girl was wrong too. If Ashton and Demi have an open relationship, then hot tub girl is the only one in the wrong, for exposing me to her ugly face and boring story.

  70. lisa says:

    Demi is wearing her ring in public. Making it clear that she is his wife. He is wearing his ring to say he is her husband.

    (so as long as they are doing this I guess all the gossip and finger pointing and blame is for naught)

    So it really doesn’t matter what we think.. She is staying it seems.

  71. Diane says:

    Now I get it. Just saw a picture of David Beckham with that same stupid hat except that Becks can get away with it because he a world-class athlete. Then again, AK IS a world-class douche….

  72. bettyrose says:

    I’m not defending him, but I feel sorry for anyone who marries into a parent-child dynamic (regardless of the gender of the younger party). This dynamic denies the younger party the chance to experience the youth that the older party had. It’s selfish. Demi had a chance to be young & beautiful with different relationships prior to having children. I don’t know what his motivations for marrying her were, but clearly he was not emotionally ready for commitment and monogamy, and I assume Demi – as the mother of someone nearly his age – was well aware of that.

  73. Judy says:

    Looking at this creepy idiot makes my skin crawl as much as looking at Polygamist Man. They both literally make me want to hurl. And both girly men also need haircuts.

  74. Emma says:

    Ugh we should all hate him and not support any of his work/projects.

    I watched the first two episodes of Two and Half Men this season to see how he was in the role,etc. When the news came out, I stopped. I though ‘Why support this douche and what he does.’ And no Nikon digital cameras for me either. He needs to die off from all of American culture.

  75. Meanchick says:

    WHY do so many people think its okay to cheat because their marriage “is in trouble?” How is smashing another person outside your marriage going to help an already bad situation? He, like many other dumb ass men, never think past their penis’. There’s no such thing as a quiet ho. If YOU, a married man, smash some random tramp, you are begging to be in the tabloids because that is exactly where she’s running off to while her ass is still wet!
