Awful!
Daniel Tosh joked about rape at his standup last Friday, telling a woman she should get raped by five guys, but to his surprise, not everyone thought it was funny.
Karen Elson joined forces with the women who condemned the joke, but unfortunately her do-good attitude offended others, and things ended up getting cray on Twitter.
Miz Elson tweeted:
“Daniel Tosh didn’t get the memo that [rape] never was and never will be funny.”
Apparently, the harmless tweet didn’t sit well with a diehard Daniel Tosh fan, so he took matters into his own hands by tweeting with this little gem:
@KarenElson_ Needs to be raped, she might lighten up after getting some for once.

Wow. Really?
Shocked by the response, Karen later tweeted:
“People’s comments to my Daniel Tosh tweet are shocking. Guess we’re in the dark ages”
“Until you have walked in a woman’s shoes and have to walk in a world were being sexually harassed is common you may understand my point.”
Elson eventually deleted some of her tweets in an attempt to “stop the drama” and thinks the replies she received only proved her point that rape isn’t funny.
We’re glad to hear that the model wasn’t brought down by the crazy social media madness, but dayum Tosh, why make such an ignorant joke?!?
Shame on you!
