Kevin Sorbo Slammed After Tweet Mocking Hunter Biden’s Addiction Battle
Kevin Sorbo is under fire following his latest tweet mocking Hunter Biden’s battle with addiction.
The “Hercules: The Legendary Journeys” alum took to Twitter Saturday to take a jab at the 51-year-old, who is expected to release a memoir, “Beautiful Things,” about his life in April.
“Tell Hunter Biden he forgot to pick up his lap pipe. I mean crack top. I mean, I... you know the thing,” Sorbo wrote.
However, his tweet was met with backlash by the folks on Twitter who slammed Sorbo for using Biden’s past substance abuse to insult him.
“Disgusting for him to mock a man’s addiction. Hunter has been honest about his struggles ,and he has had real struggles - using that to try and scratch some attention is pathetic,” one person wrote.
Another person added, “Hunter is several years clean. He also has a family who loves him and is proud of him, and a country who is rooting for him. If you ‘found’ a pipe, it’s probably yours.”
Meanwhile, Journalist Leslie Gray called Sorbo out for being a hypocrite by suggesting he wasn’t being the religious man he claimed to be in the past.
“I interviewed you in Palm Beach years ago and found you charming, and enjoyed your public defense of your Christian faith. Mocking an addict for clicks is inconsistent with who you said you were,” she wrote.
This isn’t the first time Sorbo has been criticized for his controversial tweets. In January, Sorbo’s former “Xena” co-star Lucy Lawless called him out after he supported the conspiracy theory that Antifa stormed the Capitol rather than Trump supporters.
Sorbo responded to a tweet suggesting the rioters were disguised as Trump supporters. “They don’t look like patriots to me,” he wrote.
However, Lawless fired back at her. former co-worker. “No, Peanut. They are not Patriots. They are your flying monkeys, homegrown terrorists, QAnon actors” she tweeted.
“They are the douchebags that go out and do the evil bidding of people like you who like to wind them up like toys and let them do their worst. #keepingYourFilthyHandsclean #enabler.”
