 Christina Ricci, who is known for playing her character Marilyn in Netflix series Wednesday, has opened up about her “personal experience” with abusers and urged fans to “believe victims.”

The Addams Family actress posted an Instagram story on Saturday to candidly discuss her experience with men who were "abusers privately."

She captioned the story, "They might not do these things to us and we only know who they were to us but that doesn't mean they didn't do horrible things and to discredit the abused is a crime."

Christina further added, "People we know as ‘awesome guys’ can be predators and abusers. It’s tough to accept but we have to. If we say we support victims — women, children, men, boys — then we must be able to take this stance."

The Yellowjackets starlet continued her statement in a follow-up story, where the renowned star revealed that she has known "lots of 'awesome guys' who were lovely to me who have been proven to be abusers privately."

"I've also had personal experience with this, Believe victims. It's not easy to come forward. It's not easy to get a conviction," she explained.

Christina's Instagram stories came the same day when Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis posted a clip on social media explaining why the couple wrote letters of support for Masterson — who was sentenced to 30 years in prison for two rape cases.

Kutcher began the video with, "We are aware of the pain that has been caused by the character letters that we wrote on behalf of Danny Masterson."

He added, "A couple months ago Danny’s family reached out to us and they asked us to write character letters to represent the person that we knew for 25 years, so that the judge could take that into full consideration relative to the sentencing."

Whereas Kunis claimed that the twosome "support victims and will continue to do so in the future."
