Ashton Kutcher is one of the celebrities known to use Twitter to communicate with fans (and non-fans) but on late Wednesday night, the actor tweeted the following which didn’t go well with many people.
Kutcher tweeted, “How do you fire Jo Pa? #insult #noclass as a hawkeye fan I find it in poor taste” .
Immediately, Kutcher felt the wrath of many upset people and apologized for tweeting without knowing the details of Joe Paterno’s firing.
By then, Kutcher realized his mistake and tweeted the following at 11:00 PM PST:
We are seeing a number of mistakes on social media and interviews recently (ask Brett Ratner) but at least, Kutcher was able to realize his mistake immediately and even took part in responding to those who blasted him and agreeing with them for his mistake.
In one retweet, Kutcher replied, “U r right, I need 2b more responsible 4 my voice” and “there is truth in that, I make mistakes “.
But surprising was his final tweet of him actually going to stop Tweeting until he can find a way to “properly manage his feed”.
After his final tweet for the night, fans took to Twitter and Facebook to let Kutcher know that everyone makes mistakes, those who felt bad for the actor because his mistakes are magnified as a celebrity and those who are able to forgive and comments for those who can’t.
UPDATE:
Ashton Kutcher has decided to go the way of hiring people to be responsible for tweeting, such as what other people such as Britney Spears, Lady Gaga have done. Kutcher posted the following on his blog:
A collection of over 8 million followers is not to be taken for granted. Â I feel responsible for delivering an informed opinion and not spreading gossip or rumors through my twitter feed. Â While I feel that running this feed myself gives me a closer relationship to my friends and fans I’ve come to realize that it has grown into more that a fun tool to communicate with people. Â While I will continue to express myself through @Aplusk I’m going to turn the management of the feed over to my team at Katalyst Media to ensure the quality of it’s content. Â My sincere apologies to anyone who I have offended. It was a mistake that I don’t think will happen again.
