Ashton Kutcher Resigns From Thorn + Replay: Performance Art & 2009’s Pivotal Pop Moment

✨Fangirl Nonsense: Sara takes us on a journey into her world of video games and Jenna is obsessing over Sabrina Carpenter

✨We have an update in the wake of the Ashton Kutcher character letter for Danny Masterson upheaval in Ashton stepping down from his role as Chairman of the Board for Thorn, the anti-sex trafficking organization.
