Whoever suggested that VH1 turn to Twitter to cache some questions for their Q&A with Robin Thicke is probably curled up under his desk waiting to be fired. Under the desk next to that guy is Thicke in a fetal position attempting to cry himself to sleep.
What was supposed to be a fun interaction between VH1, Thicke and his fans on Twitter using #AskThicke turned horribly, horribly askew when Thicke detesters took center stage and asked questions pertaining to misogynist lyrics, rape culture, his estranged ex-wife and his “lack of talent.” After the onslaught of serious allegations, which no doubt left quite a few deep wounds, things turned hilariously silly as people started to ask him questions that had very little to do with him or he couldn’t possibly have the answer to.
#AskThicke became one huge troll.
In short, there are way more people that dislike Thicke than do. This was a PR disaster for Thicke and we’re not sure how exactly VH1 or Thicke plan to save face today at 1:30 EST when the Q&A is supposed to take place.
Here are a few of the best tweets sent in using #AskThicke. Enjoy!
