Ashton Kutcher has shared a cryptic response on Twitter to his ex-wife Demi Moore's explosive new memoir Inside Out.

The memoir shines a light on Moore's difficult journey to stardom, as well as a rocky relationship with her ex-husband Ashton Kutcher.

Moore claimed that she “went into contortions to try to fit the mould of the woman he wanted his wife to be”, alleging that he had cheated on her twice over the course of their marriage and claiming that she agreed to threesomes that left her “flooded with shame”.

On Twitter, Kutcher appeared to finally respond to Moore’s claims.

Although the actor did not explicitly name Moore, a tweet posted today appeared to address the situation.

Kutcher, who was married to Demi Moore for eight years and is now married to his That 70s Show co-star Mila Kunis, tweeted, “I was about to push the button on a really snarky tweet.”

“Then I saw my son, daughter, and wife and I deleted it,” he said, ending the tweet with a heart emoji.

Commenters responded to Kutcher, including a surprise message from Monica Lewinsky who wrote, “My drafts folder is full of those!”

Following his initial tweet, Kutcher posted a quote from his father which simply read, “Life is good - Larry Kutcher.”

Finally, he tweeted out what appeared to be his own phone number and said, “For truth text me.”

The Evening Standard has messaged the number and will update this piece if we get a response. Other users were quick to point out that the number included an Iowa 319 area code, with others speculating that the actor had been hacked.

Some braved the text and shared a screenshot of the response they received, which resulted in an auto-text with a link to a messaging platform called Community. The text, which was the same across several screenshots, read, “Ashton here. This is an autotext to let you know I got your message, the rest will be from me.”

“Click the link so I can respond to you. I likely can’t respond to everything but I’ll try to be in touch. Dream bigger,” it continued.

Another shared a screenshot of what the link had taken them to, which was a Community website that asked users to input their details, gender identity, birthday, city and to accept Community’s terms and conditions to “receive personal messages and automated text alerts (which may be marketing in nature) from Ashton Kutcher via Community”.

Kutcher’s profile picture, which was the same one as in his verified Twitter account page, could also be seen at the top of the page as well as what appears to be a verified blue tick beside it.

While many questioned whether this was a ruse or not, this is not actually the first time Kutcher has called on his followers to text him via Community.

In January, he also tweeted out his number and said, “I miss having a real connection w/ real people. My Community. From now on you can just text me.”

“I won’t be able to respond to everyone but at least we can be real w/ each other & I can share the unedited latest & greatest in my world...Yes this is my [number],” he wrote.

He later took down the tweet and posted, "I will repost [my number] soon... sms is a fragile beast."

At the time, Wired investigated the matter and found that Community is actually a messaging startup - though at this time it is not clear how Kutcher is involved with the business. The Evening Standard has reached out to Community to verify the authenticity of Kutcher's Community account and how he is involved with the business. The official Community website claims to enable “direct, meaningful communication between community leaders and their community members...without the conflicting commercial interests, toxicity and data privacy* issues of social media”.

According to Community’s FAQs, users who sign up to a Community Leader’s ‘Community’ (in this case, Kutcher’s) they will be “saved in each other’s contacts” and receive messages from the Leader.

While it said that Community Leaders were given the “tools to respond directly to you” and were “responsible” for their community, they did however add that there was a possibility that the message could come “from them or from their team”.

Wired also revealed that in Community’s Terms of Service, the number a Community Leader shares isn’t necessarily their personal one. The ToS stated via Wired that the platform, “provides its clients (including influencers, musicians, athletes, brands, actors, their agents, and others, collectively, 'Clients') the ability through a non-exclusive, revocable license to send and receive text messages from users of the Service by using a ten-digit phone number provided by COMMUNITY (the 'COMMUNITY Phone Number').”

It continued, “You understand and acknowledge that conversations using the Service are not private conversations with Clients but are intended as messages sent and interactions solely for purposes of promoting and/or advertising the Client and the Client’s products and service.”

None of the users appear to have shared texts regarding Moore from Kutcher in screenshots below and the Evening Standard is still waiting to hear back from the artist.
