Ashton Kutcheris living
a multi-million dollar
lifestyle with girlfriend
Demi Moore while his
disabled twin has to claim welfare
to help feed his baby son Ashton's sister-in-law Melissa
Kutcher, 24, claims the Punk'd star
has done little to help his brother
Michael who suffers from cerebra
palsy and survived a life-or-death
heart transplant 13 years ago.
In the second installment of our
exclusive interview with Melissa,
she blows the lid off Ashton's past
flings with Britney Spears and Tara
Reid — and reveals the truth behind
Ashton's image as a caring family man.
Melissa said: "Ashton told the
world he loves to help his sickly
brother but in reality he doesn't take
too good care of him.
"A few months ago Michael asked
Ashton if he could borrow $2,500
for a hearing aid. Ashton asked if he
could get a loan from their parents or
a bank and Michael told him that
wasn't an option.
"Ashton then told Michael he
would think about it and call him
back about it."
The vast difference in the
twins' lifestyles is reflected
in Ashton's choice of
Christmas gift for Michael
and Melissa, who have a nine-month-old baby, Jackson.


Melissa said: "For Christmas Ashton
gave us a $3,000 Pottery Barn
gift card. While I'm grateful, we've
never shopped there and there isn't a
store within 100 miles of our city.
"I'm sure someone gave it to him
and he just re-gifted it to us. I would
have sooner had a $3,000 gift card
for Wal-Mart.
"When Ashton does send Michael
something it's usually used clothing
and shoes. One time their father
brought us back a bag of gifts from
Ashton and I had to laugh. There
were cigars, a back scratcher, UGG
slippers, a robe and a garter belt. It
looked like someone went around
Ashton's house and picked up
things off the floor.
"We've never asked for a lot and we
never expected Ashton to take care
of us. But I was hoping at the very
least he could've helped out his twin
brother a little more."Until recently Michael lived in an
$8,000 trailer in Cedar Rapids, Iowa with Melissa, who has three
children with different men. Meanwhile
Demi and Ashton have homes
in Hollywood and Idaho.
"We now rent a home that costs
about $58,000; Ashton's big wheel
truck probably cost double that. We
earn so little money our children are
on a form of state welfare. It's embarrassing
when people know we are
related to Ashton Kutcher. Ashton
has always just cared about himself."
Melissa said Demi and Ashton
were so insensitive they bet $500 on
how to treat her son's constipation.
"Our newborn son was constipated
while we were staying with them
over Thanksgiving last year. Demi
thought she could help by rubbing
homeopathic oil on his stomach,
massaging his intestinal tract. When
she did Ashton told her she was massaging
the intestinal tract the wrong way. "They made a $500 bet on which way the intestinal tract moves down the stomach. "They went online and found Demi was right. Ashton pulled out five $100 bills and gave them to Demi. "Meanwhile my son was still in pain from constipation. Demi had the idea to use some of her homeopathic oil to help ubricate him. It didn't work, so she called her personal doctor who recommended some soy milk. But it cost about $24 a can. I told Ashton we couldn't afford it. I said, 'Ashton you know we are on a form of welfare (W.I.C.) and they don't provide for expensive formula.' Ashton said, 'Well tell them you need this stuff and maybe they'll change it.'" Ashton's stint as a male model took him away from Cedar Rapids and his acting career skyrocketed after he started dating Demi. Melissa claims Ashton and Michael did not have the happiest of childhoods. "Their parents divorced when Ashton and Michael were 13. Michael learned of the divorce while he lay in his hospital bed after his heart transplant surgery," Melissa said.


Demi and Ashton's Kabbalah beliefs have also caused tension in the family, according to Melissa, who has recently been served with ivorce papers by Michael.

She said: "Ashton has his sister
Tausha and his father wear the red Kabbalah bracelet. He used to send Kabbalah materials to our house. Recently he sent Michael
some tapes and he's now dabbling in it. This has caused further strain
on our marriage because I don't believe in it all. Ashton told Michael I have negative energy. I'm sure this
comes from Demi."

Melissa said that Ashton had flings with Britney Spears and Tara Reid before he started dating Demi. She
claimed Ashton spoke of a tryst with Britney occurring in May 2003.

"He said he slept with Britney Spears in New York when he hosted Saturday Night Live," she said. "Britney was in town and Ashton ditched his parents and he spent the night with Britney."

Britney's publicist said: "I won't ask (Britney about this) because that's none of my business."

Melissa continued: "Since Ashton started dating Demi, Michael thinks he's done a complete change. When Ashton was dating Brittany urphy, she spent time with Michael and the rest of the family
and appeared to really enjoy their company.

"Ashton doesn't make a lot of time to talk to or see his twin. When Michael calls Ashton he has to go through several layers of personal assistants to talk to him.

"Ashton's family calls him by his real name, Chris. There's a big joke in the family every time Michael talks to him — they wonder if he's going to speak to his brother Chris or
Ashton the Hollywood celebrity.
"When Michael gets off the phone
he'll say, 'I was just talking to Ashton,' meaning the conversation was brief and impersonal. Once in a blue moon Ashton will spend 30 minutes on the phone with Michael. When he does it means a lot to Michael, who will say, 'It was good talking to Chris.'" Melissa added: "I think there'll be a wedding in the next few months. The family was told they will be given a two hour notice to get on a plane
and be flown somewhere."
