10 Social Media Screw-Ups From Major Stars

1. James Franco's Attempt To Seduce A Fan

A Scottish teenage girl posted a selfie of her with the star on Instagram. Nothing untoward about that, is there? But then the Spider-Man star sent her pictures attempting to seduce her. Amongst his messages were enquiries about her age and relationship status, as well as a question as to whether he should €˜rent a room€™ next time she is near him. This cringe-worthy exchange caused the star major embarrassment, but her vigilance in ensuring that he was who he said he was, meant that she had the pictures of him holding up her name spread online, and it became impossible for him to deny these allegations. This may not have been as public as many of the Twitter disputes and arguments on this list, and the messages involved were not sexually explicit, but the messages made the star look desperate. Considering he is a major star he should not have had to grovel in order to meet a girl. There is still no real explanation for why the 127 Hours actor felt the need to send these messages, but he has done well to overcome this scandalous revelation and continue to dominate the social media landscape.
