American actor and producer Ashton Kutcher has still not commented on the validity of rumors of his alleged infidelity reported by various media publications, but seems to allude to them in an online video.
The Two and a Half Men actor takes a stand against dishonesty and the lack of truth in the media through a video he posted on the social network, Chime. In, on Friday, E! Online reports.
Ashton Kutcher explains how in the age of the Internet anyone can voice their thoughts in a matter of seconds, leading to an increased probability of rumors and gossip.
'The threshold to have literature printed and distributed - the cost structure went down to zero dollars,' Ashton Kutcher said. 'Thereby, there is no gatekeeper of the truth. We are our own editors, and we are our own publishers. We are our own printers.
Thereby people can bastardize the truth in any way, shape or form they want and spread that around the world ... There's that old saying that a lie can travel halfway around the world before the truth can leave someone's lips.'
He explains that the responsibility falls on everyone to ensure honesty in the content we create and share with others.
Ashton Kutcher is alleged to have cheated on his wife, Demi Moore, with a woman named Sarah Leal in San Diego last month on the night before his sixth wedding anniversary. Neither Kutcher nor Moore have addressed the rumors.
