10 Social Media Screw-Ups From Major Stars

10. The Cher/Donald Trump Argument

We€™ve all heard of Cher, and America€™s answer to Alan Sugar is no stranger on this side of the pond either. In response to the shopping chain Macy€™s stocking Donald Trump€™s clothing line, Cher branded his hair a €˜rug€™ and scathingly described him as a €˜racist cretin.€™ She later apologised for insulting his hair as it was a €˜cheap shot,€™ although she did not revoke her anger at Macy€™s for stocking his products. There are always those celebrities who we cannot stand. For us to tweet about Donald Trump€™s laughable hair style is acceptable; he is in the public domain. However, for a fellow celebrity to lay into someone like this is frankly embarrassing. Trump€™s reply to Cher included a defence claiming it is his real hair, and then insulting Cher€™s plastic surgery. Perhaps he would have been better off looking dignified and not responding, but that is simply not Trump€™s style.
