All’s fair in love and war├óΓé¼┬ª and social media.
In case you missed it, on Sunday, Bella Thorne and boyfriend Gregg Sulkin were at the Teen Choice Awards to present the honor for Male Choice Web Star.

While reading the nominees, the former Disney actress couldn’t help but take a jab at famous Swedish YouTube personality Felix Kjellberg — also known as PewDiePie — for his hard-to-pronounce name and the fact that he was absent!
The 17-year-old shaded:
“Felix something, something, something, you know what? Be here if you want to hear the rest of your name.”
After dropping such a bomb, Twitter users were furious!
Such comments include:

bella thorne was so rude about felix’s name, if she couldn’t pronounce it she should’ve just called him pewdiepie

OUCH!
This isn’t all too surprising.
PewDiePie’s channel is the most subscribed on YouTube, with over 38.3 million subscribers.
So how did Miz Thorne react to the backlash?!
Later that night, she sort of apologizes by clarifying her speech!
I knew how to say his name It was part of the script. A joke. I didn’t write it. Calm down. Nothing but love for @pewdiepie

Maybe next time Bella will think twice before she takes a jab at a YouTuber!
Thoughts???
