Bette Midler sparks controversy.
Just a month after she caught fire for asserting that “women are the n-word of the world,” Bette Midler is right back in the middle of controversy after making remarks about Melania Trump’s semi-nude British GQ shoot from 2000.
Taking from the flight-themed element of the steamy shoot, Midler, tweeted out: The dry cleaning bill for the upholstery on Air Force One must be insane.”
Flipping Trump’s FLOTUS title, Midler added the hashtag “#FLOTITS.” Naturally, the joke wasn’t received as such by many with several users calling out Midler for her comments, accusing her “body shaming” and “bullying.”
(TWEET-AT-LINK)
“What a crass and inelegant remark,” writes one user. “Perhaps upbringing is harder to overcome than previously thought. Money hasn’t bought you class, Betty”
"My daughter and I thought you were an inspiration for all woman," added another, "we are saddened for what you’ve become."
"First and most she is now our first lady have some respect," one user directed. "if you cant say anything positive don't say anything at all... you are old enough to have learned from your life mistakes and experience... shame on you lady"
Other fans came to Bette’s support, voicing their own distaste for the president and his wife as one user tweets: “You’re getting a lot of flack for this tweet from fans. Not from this fan, I thought it was hysterical. Melania offers nothing for young women to inspire them.”
Bette Midler has not immediately responded to the backlash and at the time of this writing, her tweet is still up.
Washed up performer doesn’t have anything better to do than tweet about pics from nearly 20 years ago. Pathetic.
Midler is a pig. I’m not engaging in “name calling”. She’s a real pig.
Any one have a current pic of betsy midler without makeup?
Time to dixie chick bette
Sorry baby but to me you are Zero.
Midler WISHES that she looked as good as Melania does now, let alone nearly 20 years ago.
If you do, please keep it to yourself.
Melania was a model. Bette was/is a hog.
Ping.
LOL
Better Midler.... the face that sank a thousand ships
To call her a dog would be an insult to K-9s
Bette Midler is a disgusting hack..must suck to be her, all alone, nothing better to do than trash someone because they are beautiful and popular
Envious and bitter is no way to go through life, Bette.
I can imagine that she feels both in a big way when looking at that pic of Melania.
Midler is just jealous she was never asked to do a nude photo spread (photo spread!) for any magazine. Ever. As for facing backlash.... it’s not as if her career was going great right about now.
When someone is old, hard to look at, washed up, and not relevant, it is time to become miserable, angry and crazy. Who cares what Midler thinks or says?
Looks are easy to pick on.Wait it’s Melania and Midler Hehehehehehhehehe
Once again we see it’s WOMEN who judge and shame women.
Bette is the wind beneath our ass.
