The superstar enraged followers when she tweeted out the ‘N Word’ — but was it all just a big misunderstanding? Vote!
Gwyneth Paltrow had fun with her friends Kanye West and Jay-Z at their June 1 Paris date of the Watch The Throne tour, but she ignited a firestorm of controversy when she tweeted a racial slur about the show!
Gwyneth, 39, took to Twitter on June 1 to write “Ni**as in paris for real @mrteriusnash (the dream) tyty, beehigh”. She attached the picture above to her WhoSay page, portraying her onstage with Jay-Z, 42, and Kanye, 34.
To be fair, she was referring to the popular song “Ni**as in Paris” that the duo was performing while she was onstage. In fact, she clarified with a June 3 tweet that read, “Hold up. It’s the title of the song!”
But some fans were still rattled by the fact that Gwyneth used the slur in the first place!
Do YOU think Gwyneth’s tweet was offensive, HollywoodLifers?
