Robin Roberts joined Twitter live during Good Morning America on Monday and on her 2nd day into the twitterverse, she’s tweetttacked (attacked on Twitter) for questioning Chris Brown about his assault charge on Rihanna. Robin questioned him about his relationship with Rihanna and Brown responded by saying he was on the show to discuss his new album. True to character, following the show, Brown trashed his dressing room, cracked a window, and tweeted “I’m so over people bringing this past sh*t up!!!”
I feel as though when you commit a felony, and you plead guilty to that felony, and you’re a superstar, AND you date another singer/superstar, you kiiiind of have to be prepared to take the responsibilities of your actions when it comes to uncomfortable interview questions. Especially when it is your first time back in the spotlight since the incident.
BUT, before I continue, I do have to give credit where credit is due. Chris Brown explains to the media that while we are still obsessing over an incident that happened 2 years ago, Charlie Sheen is being praised for his unstable behavior as well his previous assaults against women. It does seem a little ridiculous that in the world of social media, Sheen is now seen as an icon and anyone that accomplishes something can now refer to their actions as “winning.”
Whomever you side with, I still believe these tweets were over the top and harsh! Robin was simply doing her job and asking the questions that most viewers wanted to hear!
Here are some tweets about Roberts:
“Then again, why would Robin Roberts question him about this incident, live in the middle of times square on his album release day? Not cool”
“Robin Roberts is a STUPID B*TCH”
“ROBIN ROBERTS CAN KISS MY A** !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
“Ppl like Robin Roberts mst learn hw to move on! Hw cud she attack @chrisbrown lyk that? Leave it all in the past!”
And y’all bum-rushing Robin Roberts on her 2nd day of Twitter… shame.
I wonder if that last one came from a rep for Twitter…
