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 Trumps 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 Trumps FLOTUS title, Midler added the hashtag #FLOTITS. Naturally, the joke wasnt 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 hasnt bought you class, Betty
"My daughter and I thought you were an inspiration for all woman," added another, "we are saddened for what youve 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 Bettes support, voicing their own distaste for the president and his wife as one user tweets: Youre 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.
Good one!
Yes, Bette is a hog even with lipstick on.
Midler needs to be more careful casting stones, she used to perform at New York's gay bathhouses before she became famous.
From 2012. You asked for it, you got it.
I usually refrain from commenting on the anyone's appearance unless they invite it.
IMO Melania made mistakes in the past, mistakes that she most likely would like to take back.
She said the Lord’s Prayer as FLOTUS. Would The Wookie ever do that?
Melania has changed for the better. Midler, not so much.
2. Criticism of others is often a reflection of what the accuser dislikes in herself. For example, "Bette at the Baths."
Bette Midler aka “Bathhouse Betty” because she started out her career performing in gay bathhouses.
“It’s okay to hate democrats”.
Bitch Midler will be 73 next month & is not aging gracefully.
Never underestimate a liberal’s ability to be vile and tribalistic.
“FLOTITS”
Horribly uncreative. For Michael Obama we had “FLATUS” and that was so, so much better.
Not bad for an old bat. Many libtards have aged worse.
Man, a fella learns something new every day. I didn’t know that was how she started her career.
Liberals are all for women except when they are conservative women then the women become fair game.
In the late 70s a friend bought tickets to a Bette Midler performance on Broadway and offered them to me and my cousin. I knew nothing, really, of Midller but my cousin refused the tickets, saying Midler was a pig. So I guess not much has happened in 40 years.
The response to Bette Midler on this is just too easy. Heil Midler!
She’s also hardly recognizable now from her ridiculously excessive recent plastic surgery. The original layer of ugly is still there.
Melania is much easier on the eyes than ol Bat Midler.
In my MUCH younger days, when I was considerably less aware, I actually liked ol’ Bette Midler.
Her performance in The Rose was the high point of her career.
Can’t recall anything she did after that...except something about witches.
