Hey everyone, just saw some interesting entertainment news involving Hugh Laurie, famous for playing House. Apparently, he's now apologized after an earlier, rather sarcastic response to a critic went viral; this critic had simply pointed out the somewhat formulaic nature of every House episode. Laurie's initial tweet ended up causing a significant amount of online backlash towards the writer, which he's since expressed regret for. He admitted he was a bit tipsy and upset about something else entirely when he initially fired back, trying to defend the show's writers. It's quite something to see a well-known actor get caught in such an online exchange, and I think it's commendable that he owned up to his part in the resulting pile-on. This whole thing really highlights how quickly things can escalate on social media, even for public figures.
