Filed under: Ashton Kutcher, TMZ Sports, You Might Want to Rethink
Ashton Kutcher attacked the Penn State Board of Trustees for firing Joe Paterno last night — but there was one little problem, seems Ashton didn’t know about Joe’s misdeeds.
Right after Paterno got the chop, Kutcher tweeted, “How do you fire Jo Pa? #insult #noclass as a hawkeye fan I find it in poor taste.”
Almost immediately, Kutcher was attacked by people informing the actor about the situation — writing things like, “F**k you. He covered up child rape you sick, geriatric f**k.”
Roughly 30 minutes later, Kutcher removed his original tweet — and replaced it with, “Heard Joe was fired, fully recant previous tweet! Didn’t have full story. #admitwhenYoumakemistakes.”
He later continued, “This is an insane story, I just heard paterno was fired, getting the rest of the story now… Wow.”
He added, “As an advocate in the fight against child sexual exploitation, I could not be more remorseful for all involved in the Penn St. case.”
Kutcher also replied to people who called him an idiot — saying, “I am” — adding, “Honestly just had half facts man my bad … I need 2b more responsible 4 my voice.”
