Controversy, The Cubicle Chick Don't, Twittering in the Cubicle · January 3, 2011

Twitter: The Perfect Way for Celebs to Put Foot in Mouth


Last week while I was doing some after Christmas shopping with my two kids, my phone was buzzing with news that singer Chris Brown was having a beef with former R&B  B2k group member Raz B. I am sure by now you all know how it went down as it has been documented on every gossip site known to man. I won’t rehash the information here, but Raz B basically came at Chris with a Rihanna comment which sent the volatile singer over the edge. It was pretty much back and forth after that.

This is not the first time celebrities have had run-ins on Twitter. Most of the time, they are deleted as quickly as they appear, like it’s not possible for their tweets to be screen captured for posterity. Twitter is a wonderful avenue for entertainers to share their worlds with their fans and followers, but sometimes they seem to get caught up in the moment with foolishness.

John Mayer, Asher Roth, 50 Cent, Chris Brown, and more all have inserted their foot in mouth on the social network. And even after their PR finally puts a muzzle on them and the tweets are deleted (or it is announced that their account had been hacked), the damage is usually done.

R&B soul singer Jazmine Sullivan became the latest entertainer to fall into the foot-in-mouth-syndrome trap last evening when she announced via Twitter that she was leaving the music business.

Here are the captures of her tweets by GyantUnplugged:

Less than an hour later, the tweets miraculously disappeared from her timeline, as I am sure she was spoken to by management who didn’t think making an announcement of that magnitude was the right thing to do on Twitter.

I personally do not follow many celebrities online because the mystique becomes flawed. After learning how a person really and truly is, it turns me off. I’d rather remember an artist by their music, films, or body of work and not their woe is me updates that seem indulgent and selfish at times.

I often wonder if any of these celebrities have a PR person that handles their pages—this would be a lot better than having the artist fighting back and forth with another artist or announcing their retirement preemptively online.

So much for the muzzle…

    I guess I’ve never been too awe struck because celebs are just people too…

    But I can feel J Sullivan, she made it further than I did. I was in a girl group in a former life… the business of music turned me off to the idea of making it a career early. It was more so about look and marketability than talent. Hard to determine who is for you and who is against you when all they care about his how much money you mean to them.

    But I agree… you do have to censor yourself. I even think about that when tweeting… I represent our blog, and there are things I want to say, yet I just hold my tongue… which might be hard to believe, lol.

      Keli, I had no idea you were in a girl group! I have seen the good and bad what the music industry does to people. But as adults, one also can’t do things on a whim, especially when they can be shown to the world over and over again. If you say something and continue to take it back or delete it, no one will ever believe you—it seems like a ploy for attention.

    I never understood why people argue via social networking sites. What’s the point? You are making yourself look like a fool. As for Jazmine Sullivan, if she really does need the break I say take it. Her album was amazing but it just wasn’t promoted like it should have been. Even with her being on tour with Mary J. Blige her sales should have been through the roof.

    This is just one of those things I can’t let go.. for future reference, it’s ‘posterity’, not ‘prosperity’.

    Chris Brown stages everything that he does, and he probably agreed with Raz beforehand to make say something to put on a good show. I don’t believe anything I see in the media anymore.
