Jason Biggs is known for his controversial tweets, but it seems like this time he really crossed the line.
The star came under fire on Thursday, July 17 for tweeting a joke about Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17, which crashed at the Russian border in Ukraine.
“Anyone wanna buy my Malaysia Airlines frequent flier miles?” he tweeted.
His followers reacted to his tweet, with many telling him that his joke was not at all funny.
“Too soon, man. Too soon,” wrote one.
“Was your sense of humor on that flight?” asked another.
“Way too soon for a joke like this; families don’t even know,” another follower wrote.
Biggs responded with a series of defensive tweets, urging people not to follow him if they don’t like his sense of humor.
“Hey all you ‘too soon’ a—–s- it’s a f—–g joke. You don’t have to think it’s funny, or even be on my twitter page at all,” the star wrote.
“The idea that I wouldn’t have any empathy 4 the victims or their families because I make a joke is absolutely ridiculous,” he added. “U know that, right?”
“Truly- you losers are literally trying to find s–t to get angry about. Channel your issues elsewhere,” Biggs said.
In a series of tweets later, Biggs apologized for the situation, saying, “Hey all- ok, so- I am deleting my previous tweets. People were offended, and that was not my intent. Sorry to those of you that were.”
He added, “This is obviously a horrible tragedy, and everyone-including myself- is sad and angry about it. Sending positive thoughts to the victims and their families. P.S. No one is making me send these tweets- I simply understand that my comments might have come off.”
