A woman stormed the stage when the 'Jobs' actor was hosting a discussion panel with the founder of the popular travel website.

AceShowbiz - Ashton Kutcher's panel was interrupted by a female protester in Los Angeles. The actor was hosting a panel with Airbnb founder Brian Chesky when the woman suddenly climbed onto the stage and held a sign that read "Airbnb out of settlements." She called out the popular travel website for listing properties in illegal Israeli settlements.

After escorting the protester off the stage because she "didn't have the stage," Kutcher offered a message of hope and defended the company. "[A world] doesn't discriminate against one another," he said. "We can get to know each other intimately and understand our collective narrative is a narrative for everyone, and that we all can belong in a world together without borders."

"I can appreciate that this doesn't happen seamlessly," he continued. "I can appreciate that this doesn't happen easily. I can appreciate that where there is change, there will be a fringe case that feels objectified, but this company is about bringing people together, and about loving one another."

"And I know this man," he said of Chesky. "I know his heart, I know his initiative, and I know that when a problem gets brought to his desk, that says that there is a discrimination or this is a displacement, that he cares. And that the first thing that he does is try to look at the system holistically and change it to make it better."

One of the first investors in Airbnb, the actor added, "You're welcome to a world where we all belong. And if you want to sit down and have a conversation about it, I'm happy to have that conversation with you."
