Ashton Kutcher Hands His Twitter Over To Mangement Team After Defending Joe Paterno
Ashton Kutcher quit tweeting almost immediately after he posted a string of ignorant tweets in defense of Penn State coach Joe Paterno. Today, he was back on Twitter, but only to admit he is no longer responsible for his Twitter page. He is handing over the power to someone else.
Ashton took to his page to explain - in some length - this his micro-blog will now be handled by his management team. This team will now oversee everything he posts to filter out any, shall we say, absentminded thoughts he may wish to share.
You can read the message in full after the job, but here is the jist of his post:
"Up until today I have posted virtually everyone of my tweets on my own, but clearly the platform has become to big to be managed by a single individual. While I will continue to express myself through @Aplusk I'm going to turn the management of the feed over to my team at Katalyst Media to ensure the quality of it's content."
Maybe this is for the best … and maybe this is also why he hasn't tweeted yet about what is going on between him and Demi Moore. Dude just can't be trusted with his own thoughts.
You're not the first celebrity to do this, Ashton. You won't be the last. We're guessing you've learned a very valuable lesson about all this.
Twitter Management
Up until today I have posted virtually every one of my tweets on my own, but clearly the platform has become to big to be managed by a single individual. When I started using twitter it was a communication platform that people could say what they are thinking in real time and if their facts where wrong the community would quickly and helpfully reframe an opinion. It was a conversation, a community driven education tool, and opinion center that encouraged healthy debate. It seems that today that twitter has grown into a mass publishing platform, where ones tweets quickly become news that is broadcasted around the world and misinformation becomes volatile fodder for critics.
Last night after returning home from work I walked by the television and simply saw a headline that Joe Paterno had been fired. Having no more information than that, I assumed that he had been fired due to poor performance as an aging coach. As a football fan and someone who had watched Joe's career move from that of legend/innovator to a head coach that fulfilled his duty in the booth, I assumed that the university had let him go due to football related issues. With that assumption (how dare I assume) I posted a tweet defending his career. I then when about my evening, had some dinner, did a little work, and about an hour later turned on ESPN where I got the full story. I quickly went back on my twitter account and found a hailstorm of responses calling me an "idiot" and several other expletives that I've become accustom to hearing for almost anything I post. I quickly retracted and deleted my previous post, however that didn't seem enough to satisfy people's outrage at my misinformed post. I truly am sorry if I offended anyone and more over am going to take action to ensure that it doesn't happen again.
A collection of over 8 million followers is not to be taken for granted. I feel responsible for delivering an informed opinion and not spreading gossip or rumors through my twitter feed. While I feel that running this feed myself gives me a closer relationship to my friends and fans I've come to realize that it has grown into more that a fun tool to communicate with people. While I will continue to express myself through @Aplusk I'm going to turn the management of the feed over to my team at Katalyst Media to ensure the quality of it's content. My sincere apologies to anyone who I have offended. It was a mistake that I don't think will happen again.

And Now, The Ark Music Factory Presents…
Blake and Ryan House-Hunting After Only A Month Together!
Maybe he can show us Demis' Snatch to make up for this ? Love to see that old, hairy, smelly twat !
He could put fake nose, eyes amd glasses on it…kinda like Mr. Potato head (not his step-daughter!), and, we could call it Ms. Snatch-head ! Demi would go for it - it would mean her picture would be taken !
Look how many years it took for this to catch up to Joe Paterno and he was even the one who committed the crime. Your day is coming. Hope prison suits your FatHead.
And………why does Ashton Kutcher's opinion even matter?
..ah huh….bedy good….
Yuck. Take a bath.
So he spoke out of turn. Who hasn't? Jeeeeeezeeeeee! Everyone! Let it go!
i dont get why this is an issue. first of all: joe pa was not the person who committed the crime. second of all: the did report it to someone. Sure he didn't do everything in his power to get this guy arrested, so morally he's not so great, but he did nothing wrong legally. So Fergie he won't be going to prison, because he won't even be arrested. Many people don't even agree with him being fired. This whole article is stupid BECAUSE INSTEAD OF FOCUSING ON WHY THE GUY RAPED THE BOYS WE ARE FOCUSING ON ASHTONS COMMENTS ON SOMEONE WHO IS NOT EVEN THE PEDOPHILE. seriously people?!
Did you write that? Plusky? a ghost writer? Demi? Rumor? huh? Child rape cover up gets people riled, it's not you ash!
Had nothing to do with Paterno comment. His head is getting too big because of the new show.
just 1 more reason why these stupid celebrities should SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!!!!!!!!!
do we really need to know this assholes opinions on anything-who gives a fuck what he says , should worry about his marriage and his show-both on the decline instead of a football coach. fuck off asston.
ego hungry dumbass, this is exactly why actors should run for politics…they can see beyond "hollywood"
Re: celticsgirl –
the guy raped the boys cause he is a pervert who likes to take advantage of the weak and joe paterno knew what happened but still worked with the guy all for the sake of football and bringing a bad name to the university. we are responding to asstons comments cause he is an idiot like all those other celebs that like to preach. ignorance is bliss
No one cares Ashton. YOu cant act and your face looks like a vagina!
Dam, he is such an attn whore. He and Kim K should get together.
Isn't this guy Ashton married to that plastic surgery addicted bulimic drug addict & alcoholic who is the mother of that girl everyone calls Potato Head?
Re: celticsgirl – OMG
Ashton,
WHAT A TWIT ! ! !
or should I say What an Egotistical overpaid TWIT !
I was thinking honest mistake and didn't care. But let me get this straight, you have 8mil. followers and make a trillion dollars and though 8mil peeps adore you, a few called you an idiot so you are pouting and hiring a firm to do your tweeting and you make sure the world knows. And that they know your feelings are hurt) ;. I am not hating but I think that defines arrogant a**hole!!!!
Ashton needs to go back to Iowa and come back down to reality. His family would be ashamed of his behavior. As for the coach…Im sure he is embarrassed as well as his family. These Penn State football freaks need to get their priority's straight….children were sexually attacked! This man and anyone else who knew of any inappropriate behavior going on, should have done EVERYTHING they could to make sure the behavior was stopped and the law was involved. Yah, he is old, yes he has been an amazing coach….but these poor kids and the scars they will live with, are far more important then this mans reputation! Or the schools!
Perez if you want your alter-sites to be more succesful allow us to comment on them!. So many times I would like to comment on fashion stuff and such and we just cant!.
He is an ass
Basiscally he is claining he is NOT responsible for his tweets!
He is a twit!
You are a loser for DEFENDING that disgusting man!
Ashton Kutcher is leading a fight against child sex slavery in this world & he defends a man (i don't care how great of a coach Paterno he is/was) that didn't go to the police or the parents of the boys HE KNEW were being sexually abused??? Paterno told the school & didn't pursue it further??? The victims are pre-teen boys.. who stands up for these children? Who?
First off you look horrid!
Second….. what makes you think anyone would want or value your opinion?
Re: UcantBserious – I am no big Ashton fan but did you read this. Ashton did not know he was speaking to a child rape situation as soon as he did he apologized and erased the comment. He also read the derogatory comments made towards him. So at NO TIme did he defend a coward. He was defending a great coach who he thought got fired for being 84. It was later he found out he was a coward that helped a child rapist, and redacted his statement. Apologized. Your wrong
Re: celticsgirl – JoPa is the head of Penn State. He is a coach. He is supposed to be a leader, a mentor and a father figure. His assistant saw a boy being raped and reported it to Paterno. Yes, maybe the exact nature of what the assistant saw may not have been conveyed, but Paterno knew his friend was showering naked with a child. It was his responsibility to see this through. Period.
Read the 23 page endictment of what this monster did to kids, and you won't be making these comments.
He made a mistake, get over it.
Re: loveNoTh8 – Agreed. Kutcher sent it without knowing the facts, big deal. The bigger deal is the guy who raped kids and possibly pimped them out, and the subsequent cover-up. Kutcher seems like a nice guy, we all make minor mistakes.
[re=5928941]Re: celticsgirl and those who don't see why this is an issue: Ok, this is just what is so screwed up about our society. We forget the little 10 year old boys that were brutally raped by the dumb fuck who worked for Paterno, and forget the fact that Paterno was told what the animal was SEEN doing and knowingly did nothing to protect the boys, only THE SCHOOL, and you think, 'the legend' deserves our respect and sympathy? No he deserves to be stripped of his titles and removed from the halls of fame. His crime is much worse than the likes of legend Pete Rose. Puh-leez
Ass-ton Kutcher- He's too stupid to comment. Never gonna believe he didn't know the deal. He just suffers from verbal diarrhea, and tiny brain syndrome.
i cant believe 8 people, much less 8 million people give a fuck what ashton kutcher thinks. i liked punked, an 70 show was ok, but what else should we care about. taking over that shit comedy for itiots. please.
u cant win em all ashton u still got one fan we all do stuff and sometimes we do it on like impulse this teaches us to maybe not do that ..
hell i wasnt even allowed down the local video store after going off my head in there but i went back in said sorry and now things are ok.. i was just talking about something else and kind of got off track started ranting and scared some peole by throwing my arms around didnt mean to just got kind of involved in the topic a little too much so we all do it noone really wants to have to censor what they say but when ur a star people expect u to be better than the average idiot..
You gotta love the priority of people. We take a serious topic like this, and then get sidetracked to hell and back and then prioritize what some annoying D lister actor says, so come this time tomorrow instead of hearing about the case we will hear on the news about what Ashton Kutcher said lmao. Its not secret that 99.9% of Hollywood people are either living in a delusional bubble or they are very unintelligent. So why on earth do people care about what some idiot says, more importantly why does the media care? Everyone is just as big an idiot as he is.
FINALLY!!! he admits to his own douche-dom!!!!! and shave those pubes off your face bro…
So what…he spoke about something without having all the facts. It happens. And then changed his mind! Oh, the horror!!! People need to chill.
What a dumb shit. And go take a shower.
Re: Honor – He should NOT have tweeted on such a high profile news report if he didn't have the full story — it's been a major story in media for a week. I haven't seen a single report about Paterno's firing that doesn't mention his role in the child abuse story. You defending Kutcher in this particular case is pathetic. Kutcher's tweet was more than just an "oops" — proof of that is how much damage control he's having to do. All this Paterno worship is sickening — It's ONLY football people! (regarding Kutcher's apology.
Now there's another spineless puke (asst coach McQueary) that actually witnessed a little boy being sucked off in the showers by this disgusting Jerry Sandusky & he DID NOT even try to stop it right then. He told Paterno & we know how far that went. The Univ was told about it and never reported it to police– they kept it quiet & so many other boys were abused.
Re: NookiesWA – so the "idiot" remark includes you too since you took the time to read & comment on this… take a look at your own priorities.
