The original poster has since deleted the tweet, and offered a half-baked apology, while also calling him out for all of the people who came to Adam’s defense in their replies.

“I made my tweet trying to be funny & it wasn’t. I forget that my tweets can actually affect people & even tho you’re famous, you still see comments like those. I deeply apologize & have deleted my tweet. I’ll take the deserved backlash.”

“I made an insensitive joke and deleted the tween when it had less than 200 likes,” they wrote in a separate post. “I addressed you and apologized. I deleted the tweet before you had even made a post about it. You took that tweet and turned something that was already deleted, into thousands of people harassing me and sending me death threats & news articles made about me.”

This response came without acknowledging all of the people who piled on their nasty comments about Adam under the original post made about him.
