Christina Ricci is using her social media platform to emphasize the importance of believing victims of abuse. The 43-year-old actress took to Instagram to encourage her followers to take allegations of abuse more seriously. In her post, Christina acknowledges that even people we have loved and admired can do horrible things, and just because they didn’t do those things to us personally doesn’t mean they didn’t do them at all. She believes that discrediting the experiences of abuse survivors is a crime.
Christina goes on to explain that it can be difficult to accept that people we consider to be “awesome guys” can be predators and abusers. However, if we claim to support victims, then we must be willing to accept this reality. She also shares that she has known people who seemed wonderful but turned out to be abusers in private, and she has had personal experiences with this as well. Christina urges everyone to believe victims because coming forward and seeking justice is not an easy process.
Christina’s message comes after Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis apologized for supporting Danny Masterson, who was recently found guilty of two counts of forcible rape. Ashton expressed regret for the pain caused by the character letters they wrote on behalf of Masterson, while Mila reiterated their commitment to supporting victims. It is clear that Christina’s intent is to raise awareness about believing and supporting victims of abuse, and she is using her platform to advocate for justice.
